In the end I have used a different slightly more messy approach. I am
getting the record id from the args by using a conditional to test if it is
in one of 2 possible positions.
@auth.requires_login()
def contact_manage():
form =
SQLFORM.smartgrid(db.t_contact,linked_tables=['t_courses','t_membership','t_paypal'],
onupdate=auth.archive, formname="Contact Manager")
if request.args(2) == 't_contact':
memberId = request.args(3)
else:
memberId = request.args(2)
return locals()
I looked into fetching it using similar code to your link function but it
seems you can only request the id of the current record using
db.t_contact.id from within the parameters of your SQLFORM.smartgrid
request.
Its a dirty hack but it seems to work.
