SOLVED i thought i have to write my own validator, looking into IS_IN_SET i stumbeled upon the following code in the first few lines
if isinstance(theset, dict): self.labels = theset.values() hmmm, lets try folders = dict(folders) db_webfolder.parent.requires = IS_IN_SET(folders) form_file = SQLFORM(db_webfolder) and it works!!! maybe this should be documented somewhere, e.g. in the docstring of IS_IN_SET! would make it at least a bit easier to find out On Jan 26, 11:23 pm, selecta <gr...@delarue-berlin.de> wrote: > oh it can ?:) sounds good, but still it solves only part of my > problem, I also want to change what is shown to the user in option, I > better show you what I want to do > > def getfolders(root = 0, spaces = '-'): > folders = [] > for f in db(db_webfolder.id>0)(db_webfolder.parent==root) > (db_webfolder.file==None).select(): > folders.append((f.id,spaces+f.name)) > folders += getfolders(f.id, '-'+spaces) > return folders > > folders = [(0,'root')]+getfolders() > form_folder = FORM(SELECT([OPTION(name,_value=id) for id,name in > folders],_name='parent'),INPUT(_name='name'),INPUT > (_type='submit',_value="create")) > > it should return something like > <select name="parent"> > <option value="0">root</option> > <option value="1">-test</option> > <option value="5">--subfolder of test</option> > <option value="6">--another sub of test</option> > <option value="7">--another one</option> > <option value="2">-another folder</option> > <option value="3">-yet another</option> > <option value="4">-okok</option> > <option value="8">--tesing still</option> > </select> > > On Jan 26, 10:59 pm, Thadeus Burgess <thade...@thadeusb.com> wrote: > > > > > IS_IN_DB can use a query can't it? > > > -Thadeus > > > On Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 3:46 PM, selecta <gr...@delarue-berlin.de> wrote: > > > Is there a validator that creates a select with options from a list of > > > tuples > > > > what I want do do is > > > Field("folder","integer",requires = IS_IN_TUPLELIST([('myfolder',12), > > > ('subfoler',23)])) > > > > so that is creates > > > SELECT([OPTION(name,_value=id) for name,id in [('myfolder',12), > > > ('subfoler',23)] ],_name='parent'),INPUT(_name='name') > > > > in this case I cannot use IS_IN_DB because i need to filter the > > > results from the table > > > > -- > > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > > > "web2py-users" group. > > > To post to this group, send email to web...@googlegroups.com. > > > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > > > web2py+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > > > For more options, visit this group > > > athttp://groups.google.com/group/web2py?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
