hi, I'm new to web2py and my first experience with it is fun. It's true that I can develop fast but for now customization is pain in some places. For example, I like css over tables. And I have to add some fieldsets to my form. Form is generated from a table and using SQLForm(because many tasks are done by it, like automatic insertion, validation etc.,)
You can see my site on-line at http://exodus-fest.appspot.com/ (It uses css3, best viewed on a latest chrome/firefox or any other css3 supported browser) at the end of the post I'm posting code for view and controller. Now tell me is there any better way to do the same; like using SQLFORM.factory (I tried, but hopelessly failed.) so that view get shortened. Now, what follows is my code... controller ~~~~~~~ def register(): msg = '' fieldLabels={'name':'Full Name:', 'course':'Enrolled Course:', 'college':'College/University:', 'mobile':'Mobile Number:', 'email':'Email Address:'} form = SQLFORM(db.register, submit_button='Register', labels=fieldLabels) if form.accepts(request.vars, session): form = None a = q = c = d = '' import smtplib toaddr = request.vars.email q = 'Yes' if request.vars.quiz else 'No' a = 'Yes' if request.vars.animation else 'No' c = 'Yes' if request.vars.coding else 'No' d = 'Yes' if request.vars.dance else 'No' body = ('Dear ' + request.vars.name +',\n\n' + 'It is a pleasure for me to let you know that you had successfully registered for the Exodus-10 (Cultural and IT fest) ' + 'conducted by Computer Science Dept. of St. Thomas College, Thrissur \n\n'+ 'You are registered to:\n'+ ' Quiz : ' + q + '\n' + 'Animation : ' + a + '\n' + ' Coding : ' + c + '\n' + ' Dance : ' + d + '\n\n'+ 'Please note that program commence on 14th Jan, 2010, 9:30am'+ '\n\n\nThank You,\nShibu \n(Student Co-ordinator)\nMobile : +919496349988' + '\n Website: http://exodus-fest.appspot.com/') mail.send(to = toaddr, subject='Exodus: Event registration', message= body) msg += "You are Successfully registered. Please Check your email." elif form.errors: if form.errors.name: form.errors.name='Your name seems too short' if form.errors.college: form.errors.college='It is a too short name' if form.errors.mobile: form.errors.mobile='Enter a valied Mobile Number' if form.errors.email: form.errors.email='Enter a valied Email Address' return dict(form=form, msg=msg) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- now view ~~~~~~~ {{extend 'tmpl.html'}} {{if form:}} {{lbl=form.custom.label}} {{wdgt=form.custom.widget}} <form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"> <h1>Exodus: Event Registration Form</h1> <fieldset> <legend>Your Details</legend> <ul> <li> <label for="register_name" id="register_name__label">{{=lbl.name}} </label> {{=wdgt.name}} </li> <li> <label for="register_course" id="register_course__label"> {{=lbl.course}}</label> {{=wdgt.course}} </li> <li> <label for="register_college" id="register_college__label"> {{=lbl.college}}</label> {{=wdgt.college}} </li> </ul> </fieldset> <fieldset> <legend>Contact Information</legend> <ul> <li> <label for="register_mobile" id="register_mobile__label"> {{=lbl.mobile}}</label> {{=wdgt.mobile}} </li> <li> <label for="register_email" id="register_email__label"> {{=lbl.email}}</label> {{=wdgt.email}} </li> </ul> </fieldset> <fieldset> <legend>Participating Events</legend> <div class="events"> <ul> <div><li> <label for="register_quiz" id="register_quiz__label">{{=lbl.quiz}} </label> {{=wdgt.quiz}} </li> <li> <label for="register_animation" id="register_animation__label"> {{=lbl.animation}}</label> {{=wdgt.animation}} </li></div> <div><li> <label for="register_coding" id="register_coding__label"> {{=lbl.coding}}</label> {{=wdgt.coding}} </li> <li> <label for="register_dance" id="register_dance__label"> {{=lbl.dance}}</label> {{=wdgt.dance}} </li></div> </ul> </div> </fieldset> <input type="reset" value="Reset" /> <input type="submit" value="Register" /> <div class="hidden"> {{=form.hidden_fields()}} </div> </form> {{pass}} {{=msg}} -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
