Py4web readonly Form

[John Bannister]

Hi All,

I have been testing Py4web and have the following to produce basically a 'view record' option :-

def view_test():

    form=Form(db.auth_user, record=1, readonly=True, deletable=False, formstyle=FormStyleBulma)

    if form.accepted:

        redirect(URL('index'))

    return dict(form=form)

This will redirect if I remove the readonly=True from the form but basically form is just displayed (all fields are readonly) and you can hit the submit button as many times as you like and nothing will happen.

Any ideas??

You may be right but what is the meaning of submitting and accepting a readonly form? What is a use case?

[John Bannister]

Hi Massimo,

 

My use case is really to give the user the option to view data stored in a table without the ability to change anything hence readonly. Once they have finished viewing the form (normally by hitting the submit button) they will be redirected to whatever.

 

Hope it makes sense

John

Hi John

What you say doesn't make much sense because you can style and view data however you wish, including in a readonly form.  Similarly a button can redirect your users to wherever you wish.  You don't need the framework forms for that.  Just style your page how you wish.
