Thank you Villas, i updated my controller like this & its giving results. I
a sure there is a better way to do this, a ore cleaner way & if anyone
cares to improve my code please dont hesitate so i could update mine &
learn more:
def my_form_processing(form):
if form.vars.class_session=='single session':
single_session_times=['0830-0930hrs', '0930-1030hrs', '1100-1200',
'1200-1300', '1400-1500', '1500-1600', '1600-1700']
the_time=random.choice(single_session_times)
form.vars.the_time2=the_time
if form.vars.class_session=='evening single session':
evening_single_session_times=['1730-1830', '1830-1930']
the_time=random.choice(evening_single_session_times)
form.vars.the_time2=the_time
if form.vars.class_session=='double session':
double_session_times=['0830-1030', '1100-1300', '1400-1700']
the_time2=random.choice(double_session_times)
form.vars.the_time2=the_time2
if form.vars.class_session=='evening double session':
evening_double_session_times=['1730-1930']
the_time=random.choice(evening_double_session_times)
form.vars.the_time2=the_time
@auth.requires_login()
def index():
form=SQLFORM(db.lecture)
if form.process(onvalidation=my_form_processing).accepted:
response.flash=T('Lecture Entered')
return locals()
