Are you saying you want the "represent" function applied specifically to a reference field?
Note, a Row object does not know with what DAL table it is associated, so it can't automatically apply the "represent" attributes of its fields. However, the Rows object has a new .render() method for this purpose -- see http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#Rendering-rows-using-represent. In this case: {{=db(db.table.id == id).select().render(0).field}} Above, .render(0) extracts the first Row and applies the "represent" attributes to all fields. For reference fields, you can also simply do a recursive select as long as you know the name of the field to be used to "represent" the reference: {{=db.table(id).reference_field.field_in_referenced_table}} Anthony On Friday, November 8, 2013 4:06:40 PM UTC-5, Richard wrote: > > Hello, > > How can I do this : > > db.table(id).field.represent > > Could a short cut be created to handle this use case? > > {{=form.custom.begin}} > <table class="table table-condensed table-hover"> > <thead><tr><th>{{=T('Field label')}}</th></tr></thead> > <tbody> > {{for r in rows:}} > <tr> > {{if record_id is not None and r.id == record_id:}} > <td>{{=form.custom.widget.referenced_field_id}}</td> > > {{else:}} > <td>{{=db.table(r.id).referenced_field_id.represent > }}</td> > * <!-- So I don't have to do -->* > * <!-- > {{=db.referenced_table(r.referenced_field_id).field_representing_id_referenced}} > > -->* > {{pass}} > </tr> > {{pass}} > > </tbody> > </table> > {{=form.custom.end}} > > > Thanks > > Richard > -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
