Problem with URL inside loaded component - Bug??

[Jim S]

I have a LOADed component and in the controller I'm doing the following to turn my id into a link.

db.productSite.siteId.represent = lambda x,r:A('%s-%s' % (db.site(x).site,db.site(x).name),_href=URL('applications','productSites',args=('edit',r.productSiteId)))

The problem is when I try to click on the link, it inserts a .load into the URL.

Here is what it is generating:

127.0.0.1:8000/infocenter/applications/productSites.load/edit/1553

Is there something obvious I'm overlooking or is this possibly a bug?

I don't think it's a bug, .load is inherited in this case, isn't it? In other words, it's a feature :)

You can set extension=False in the URL(), that prevents .load from getting added.

That did the trick.  I didn't know about that argument.  Thanks for the heads up.

From the book:

By default, the extension corresponding to the current request (which can be found in request.extension) is appended to the function, unless request.extension is html, the default. This can be overridden by explicitly including an extension as part of the function name URL(f='name.ext')or with the extension argument:

URL(..., extension='css')

The current extension can be explicitly suppressed:

URL(..., extension=False)
