I don't know enough to be able to reply. Here is code that works. Please let me know if there's better way. messageID captures the record ID so it can populate children further down the process
db.InternalMessage.created_by.default = auth.user_id db.InternalMessage.subjectLine.label='' db.InternalMessage.messageBody.label='' ## db.InternalMessage.messageThreadID.default = db.InternalMessage.id # didn't work form=SQLFORM.factory(db.InternalMessage, labels=None) if form.process().accepted: recipientCount = db(db.TempInternalMessageRecipient.thisSessionID == response.session_id).count() if recipientCount == 0: session.flash='You did not select message recipients' redirect(URL('forgot_to_add_message_recipient')) messageID = db.InternalMessage.insert(**db.InternalMessage._filter_fields(form.vars)) form.vars.messageID=messageID selectedIndividuals = db((db.TempInternalMessageRecipient.thisSessionID == response.session_id) & (db.auth_user.id == db.TempInternalMessageRecipient.recipientOfMessage)).select() for row in selectedIndividuals: db.InternalMessageRecipient.insert(recipientOfMessage=row.auth_user.id, messageID=messageID) session.flash='Your message has been sent.' db(db.InternalMessage.id == messageID.id).update(messageThreadID = messageID.id) db(db.TempInternalMessageRecipient.thisSessionID == response.session_id).delete() redirect(URL('information_center')) return locals() -- 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.
