I have decided to make rows a session variable but I am not sure if this is a good idea!
def search(): form = SQLFORM.factory( Field("start_date", type="date"), Field("end_date", type="date")) if form.process().accepted: q = ((db.birthdays.bornday >= form.vars.start_date) &(db.birthdays.birthday <= form.vars.end_date)) * session.rows **= db(q).select()* return locals() I have a bad experience in the past with sessions when they start giving the NoneType error out of the blue!! Please please if someone has a better way of solving my problem please assist! What I want is to use the {{ rows }} variable in another function like calling it in another function but I cant in web2py, i am getting an error, maybe i'm doing it wrong, show me how to do it.
