combobox in pylons

[gazza]

Hello,

I want to use a combo box in my template. I can use the standard html
approach however I would like
to use the pylons helper functions to accomplish this.

In my controller,I have the following:

c.credcardtypes=[("visa","visa")]

the template has:

${h.select("fieldnm","initvalue",c.credcardtypes)}

I dont know how to add multiple values to the combo list?

Much appreciated,
Garyc

Hello,

Ok I think I figured it out:

class creditcardtype(BaseController):
def __init__(self,name,value,parent=None):
self.name=name
self.value=value

def registration(self):
self.cclist.append(creditcardtype("visa","visa"))
self.cclist.append(creditcardtype
("americanexpress","americanexpress"))
c.creditcardtypes=[(ct.name,ct.value) for ct in self.cclist]

That basically does what I want to do, however is there a better way
than this?

Much appreciated,
Garyc

Why not this way:
c.creditcardtypes=[("visa","visa"), ("americanexpress","americanexpress")]

Also, why does creaditcardtype derive from BaseController?

Ahh, but of course. Thanks for the tip.

Yep it doesnt have to be derived from BaseController, a cut and paste
error.
