I am beginning to work with jquery, javascript and ajax directly as I work through tutorials.
I want a grid listing journals with a button for each row which, when clicked, will open a modal window with another grid (or sqltable) in it containing a list of articles published in that journal. Looking at the MModal plugin (http://www.web2py.com/plugins/default/mmodal) I am not clear on how to define a link in the controller for the button in the grid that will open the modal window. I have two functions in a module that I want to use: def artikels(query = db.akb_articles.id > 0): links = [lambda row: A(B('View'), _target = "_blank", _href = URL(r = request, c = 'default', f = 'show_akb_article', args = str(row[db.akb_articles.id ])))] form = SQLFORM.grid(query, fields = fields, orderby = db.akb_articles.title, maxtextlength = 80, editable = False, deletable = False, details = False, links = links, ui = 'jquery-ui') return form def joernaalartikels(juuid): query = db.akb_articles.journal == juuid am = PluginMModal(title = T('Articles '), content= artikels(juuid), close = T('Close'), width=100, height=70) return am My partial definition for 'links' for the first grid (journals) which I don't know how to complete: links = [lambda row: A('Edit' , _href = URL('default', 'edit_journal', args = [row.id])), lambda row: A('Show articles', _href = ('default', ????????] According the slice the link should be something like am.link('click to see related articles') How do Implement that (call joernaal_artikels) and pass the result to a modal window using SQLFORM.grid's 'links'?
