Very helpful, thanks! That and the following thread helped me get it working:
* http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/ca023e57bbc3a963/409a637d597057ae?lnk=gst&q=crud+update+delete#409a637d597057ae * After posting, I was redirecting to edit mode on the same item by referencing its id. However, doesn't work if the item is deleted. Thread above provided code for having a redirect if the item is updated (using next) and a different action if the item is deleted (using ondelete with a lambda function) On Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 1:33 AM, weheh <richard_gor...@verizon.net> wrote: > See thread: > > http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/373ba9cee9ea320c/a5c8093e3a6ab2e0?lnk=gst&q=id+of+last+record+added+using+crud#a5c8093e3a6ab2e0 > > On Oct 14, 2:10 am, Audra Rudys <sphin...@gmail.com> wrote: > > How does one capture the id of a newly created record for redirect? > > > > Desired workflow: User adds record, pushes submit, record added and goes > > into "edit mode" for further work. > > > > I have 2 controls: add(using crud.create) and update (using crud.update). > > After adding, I'm trying to redirect to update using the next=URL(), but > I > > need the id of the record I just created, -- is there a way to get this? > Or > > should I be approaching this differently to get the desired results? > > > > Thanks, > > Audra >
