update via ajax getting error.

[Avi A]

Hi,

I am trying something like that: (render current api key and update it if clicking)

on the view:

<button  type="button" id="change_api_key">Get new api key</button>

<div id= "target">{{=LOAD('default','api_key.load',ajax=True)}}</div>

        <script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function(){

  $("#change_api_key").click(function(){

    url = 'api_key.load/1' ;

    ajax(default/url, '', 'target')

      });

  });

</script>

and the controller:

import uuid

def api_key():

    if request.args(0):

        db(db.auth_user.id == auth.user.id).update(db.auth_user.api_key == uuid.uuid4())  #error line

    my_api_key = db(db.auth_user.id == auth.user.id).select(db.auth_user.api_key)

    return locals()

the error i am getting:

TypeError: update() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

Thanks.

the syntax is wrong....
it's

db(condition).update(column_name=value)

not

db(condition).update(db.table.column_name=value)

Thanks,

I'm still getting the same error.

[Avi A]

   db(db.auth_user.id == auth.user.id).update(api_key == uuid.uuid4())

TypeError: update() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

I also get on the error log on the Variables :

).update	undefined

Should be .update(api_key=uuid.uuid4()).
