my code goes like this:
db.py
db.define_table('category', Field('name', requires = (IS_LOWER(), IS_SLUG(), IS_NOT_IN_DB(db, '
category.name'))))
db.define_table( 'searches',
Field('body', 'text', requires = (IS_NOT_EMPTY(), IS_LOWER())),
label = ''),
auth.signature)
def view_searches():
id = request.args(0, cast=int)
searches = db.searches(id) or redirect(URL('index'))
form1 = [searches.body]
name3 = ''.join(form1)
code........
def create_searches():
category = get_category
form =SQLFORM(db.searches, id, showid =False,).process(next = 'view_searches/[id]')
return locals()
in view section for create_serches:

My biggest problem is linking at the chat.self and chat.friend in view html for create_searches.
I cant seem to connect/link to and from the view_searches in default which happens to have a function code that works to get a message from 'form' and post it on the html page in the create_searches.
This is like a chat-bot with someone retrieving items such as names from a db...in this case db.searches. if one inputs(through chat.self) a name such as John, and submits it at chat-form, then the chat.friend looks in the db for the name or other information and posts it back to the page.
Am still learning more with web2py and python and i would like help and correction where possible
