Hi again all! Upon further trying to expand and experiment I stuck at something that maybe I need to be clarified on or I'm doing wrong.
Basically what I did is create a "store.py" in that I specified the database exactly like it was in db.py (except. Then what I did in menu.py was simply change: response.menu = menu_rec(db(db.store_catalog).select().as_trees()) to response.menu = menu_rec(store(store.store_catalog).select().as_trees()) However it immediately errors out in the shell claiming "store" is not defined, as well as producing a ticket with the same error. When I change it back to the original "response.menu" and I run the shell I can access store.whatever. What am I not getting about this or is it not possible? >From the examples I've looked at it seems as though it should work. Can I get pointed in the right direction or thinking on this please?
