I've attached the 'packed' file of the app. The app:
-uses your table setup (I took the uppercase characters out of your table names - I'm not preaching, but in my experience you don't want to do this) -puts some test data into the degree table -added a page to list the degrees using datatables.net Modified files -added DataTables directory to /static -views/layout.html - added references to datatables css and javascript files -controllers/default - added degrees and _get_degrees methods -created views/default/degrees.html To Run it -Extract the code to your applications directory -fire up web2py -navigate to 127.0.0.1:8000/school/default/degrees You should see the list of degrees. Paging should work and the search filter should work. I didn't add the 'click on the column heading to sort', but you can do all of that as well. Let me know if you have any problems or questions. -Jim web2py.app.school.w2p <https://drive.google.com/file/d/14SQthm4NUpvmWtxEoFyQBHR_hEphlB-J/view?usp=drive_web> On Fri, Jun 14, 2019 at 9:43 AM Cristina Sig <krysthi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you @Jim.
