I'm having an issue where "value" is empty inside my custom widget. I have
a field in my database that uses a custom dropdown widget:
Field('color_scheme', 'string',
requires=IS_IN_SET(color_schemes.COLOR_SCHEME_NAMES),
widget=color_choice_widget),
I create a form using form=SQLFORM(...) and then I set the default value of
the color_scheme with:
form.vars.color_scheme = DEFAULT_COLOR_SCHEME
In my custom widget, I want to read the current value so that I can apply
certain styling to the selected value in the dropdown. But value=None
inside my widget. Any idea what's going on?
The custom dropdown widget is something like this:
def color_choice_widget(field, value):
"""
Widget for the color scheme dropdown menu
"""
print value # Why does this print "None"?
return \
DIV(
# This DL is what the user sees
TAG['dl'](
<more stuff here>,
_class="dropdown", _id="color_dropdown",
),
# This hidden INPUT is what actually gets submitted, and has
value set by javascript
INPUT(_name=field.name,
_class=field.type,
_id="%s_%s" % (field._tablename, field.name),
_value=value,
requires=field.requires)
)
Thanks in advance for any advice on what I'm missing
Toby
