Ok, figured out, I think, what happen is that you use index to get record
in l (that actually is a pretty bad variable name since it could be
confused with 1 - ONE with some fonts)... By using an index you always get
only the first row in rows because your "l" variable is a rows object that
contains many row(s)... So you only get the first one each time.
You don't have to make complicated code like so...
This should work better :
thead = THEAD(TR(TH(Author), TH(Books)))
tr = []
for Author in AL:
rows = db(db.Book.Author.contains(Author.id)).select(db.Book.ALL,
orderby=db.Book.Name)
tr.append(TR(TD(Author.Name), TD([row.Name for row in rows])))
table = TABLE(thead, TBODY(tr))
return dict(table=table)
In your view :
{{=table}}
