Massimo,
I fixed this by replacing "SQLFORM.factory" with the use of "SQLFORM" and
"dbio = False", and it works fine.
However, in case you thought it should behave differently I have copied my
code below.
The html generated by SQLFORM.factory gives the likes of id="no_table
_Attachment", even though I specify a name in the method call...
----------------------
The model has nothing out of the ordinary:
db.define_table('CAR_Report',
Field('Complaint_Base_id', db.Complaint_Base),
Field('From_Department', db.department, ondelete='NO ACTION'),
Field('To_Department', db.department, ondelete='NO ACTION'),
Field('Details', 'text', requires = IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
Field('Suggested_Action', 'text', requires = IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
Field('CAR_Status', requires = IS_IN_SET(
[
'Unassigned',
'Assigned',
'Actioned',
'Reviewed and closed'
]), default='Unassigned'),
Field('Assignee', db[UserTableName], ondelete='NO ACTION'),
Field('Assignment_Comments', 'text'),
Field('Attachment', 'upload')
)
The controller is something like:
def raisenew():
form = SQLFORM.factory(db.CAR_Report, fields=FieldsToDisplay,
name=db.CAR_Report)
if form.accepts(request.vars, session):
#Pull all the fields from the form
FieldValues = dict()
for f in db[TableName].fields:
if form.vars.has_key(f):
FieldValues[f] = form.vars[f]
#Add a few more like so....
FieldValues['CAR_Status'] = 'Unassigned'
#Insert into the table...
db.CAR_Report.insert(**FieldValues)
