I have a manually built the MySQL table and then use migrate=False in Web2py. I can enter hours use the add_to_table function passing in the table_name, the work_date_start and work_date_end show up in this form as the datetime picker. I can choose from this and add the info into the table, as they show up correctly in MySQL. When I try to view the data in show_table function these two dates show up as None. The timestamp field time_added_to_table does show the datetime correctly in a format like '2017-02-10 19:37:35'. Any ideas?
Below are the descriptions of MySQL and the Web2py info used. I manually build tables in MySQL, here's the table using describe billable_hours; +---------------------+-------------+------+-----+-------------------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +---------------------+-------------+------+-----+-------------------+----------------+ | id | bigint(20) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | time_added_to_table | timestamp | NO | | CURRENT_TIMESTAMP | | | work_date_start | datetime(6) | YES | | NULL | | | work_date_end | datetime(6) | YES | | NULL | | | work_details | text | YES | | NULL | | | customer_id | bigint(20) | YES | MUL | NULL | | | billing_state_id | bigint(20) | YES | MUL | NULL | | +---------------------+-------------+------+-----+-------------------+----------------+ 7 rows in set (0.00 sec) Here's the web2py info in my_models.py: ----------------------------- db.define_table('billing_notes', Field('id', 'integer'), Field('time_added_to_table', 'datetime', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(), writable=False, readable=False), Field('note', 'string'), format='%(note)s', migrate=False) db.define_table('customers', Field('id', 'integer'), Field('time_added_to_table', 'datetime', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(), writable=False, readable=False), Field('customer', 'string'), format='%(customer)s', migrate=False) db.define_table('billing_states', Field('id', 'integer'), Field('time_added_to_table', 'datetime', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(), writable=False, readable=False), Field('billing_state', 'string'), format='%(billing_state)s', migrate=False) db.define_table('billable_hours', Field('id', 'integer'), Field('time_added_to_table', 'datetime', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(), writable=False, readable=False), Field('work_date_start', 'datetime'), Field('work_date_end', 'datetime'), Field('work_details', 'text'), Field('customer_id', db.customers, requires=IS_IN_DB(db, "customers.id", "%(customer)s")), Field('billing_state_id', db.billing_states, requires=IS_IN_DB(db, "billing_states.id", "%(billing_state)s")), format='%(work_date_start)s', migrate=False) ------------------------------------------------------- My controller in default.py is: def add_to_table(): table_name=request.vars['tname'] form = SQLFORM(db[table_name]) if form.process().accepted: response.flash = 'form accepted' elif form.errors: response.flash = 'form has errors' else: response.flash = 'please fill out the form' return dict(form=form) def show_table(): # shows the table's data table_name=request.vars['tname'] response.flash=table_name q=db[table_name]['id']>0 s=db(q) rows=s.select() #print(rows) return dict(rows=rows ----------------------------------- Thanks! cd -- 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.
