I understand that I need to use different formnames, I just don't
understand how I would syntax it do that automatically.
A single form will not suffice; I think is has to be different forms. I
need a uuid for each user and create/update several records for each user.
Basically I need to use something like:
def show_form():
for user in users:
form= SQLFORM.factory()
return dict(form=form)
But then in a way that works. I tried several ways, but am still
unsuccessful...
I read (, re-read and re-re-read) the chapter on forms in 'the book' but
there's no mention on how to achieve something like this, neither in the
examples.
I tried digging through a lot of the sample apps too but nothing.
I understand this is not the basic way forms are designed to be used but is
it that uncommon to do this?
I also tried:
for user in users:
form[user]= SQLFORM.factory()
return dict(form[user]=form[user])
this throws a global name form is not defined.
I also tried:
for user in users:
form = SQLFORM.factory()
form[user] = form
any ideas?
