Hello!
I'm new to web2py and have just started running web2py 2.8.1 in ubuntu
12.04.
I am trying to customize the style of SQLFORM in web2py views. Tried to do
this using SQLFORM in HTML. What I have is:-
model:
db.define_table(
"register",
Field('pi_id',db.pi),
Field('name',requires=[IS_NOT_EMPTY(), IS_ALPHANUMERIC()]),
Field('grp_name'),
Field('req_date','date', requires = IS_DATE(format=('%d-%m-%Y'))),
Field('email',requires=[IS_EMAIL()]))
db.register.grp_name.widget = SQLFORM.widgets.autocomplete(
request, db.pi.name, limitby=(0,10), min_length=1)
controller:
def display_your_form():
form =
SQLFORM(db.register,fields=['name','grp_name','req_date','email'])
if form.process(session=None,formname="test").accepted:
response.flash = 'Reg saved.'
redirect(URL('samples', 'default', 'index'))
elif form.errors:
response.flash = 'form has errors'
return dict()
view:
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
<form action="#" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
<ul>
<li>Your name is <input name="name" /></li>
<li>Your group is <input name="grp_name" /></li>
<li>Your request date is <input name="req_date" /></li>
<li>Your email is <input name="email" /></li>
</ul>
<input type="submit" />
<input type="hidden" name="_formname" value="test" />
</form>
Unfortunately, I now no longer get error messages for fields that are left
empty, a date app to help insert a date, and the autocomplete doesn't work
(all of these worked fine with the default view of SQLFORM). Am I missing
something obvious?
Would custom forms be a better way of doing this?
Many thanks.
