Prepopulate form

[Pai]

I'll try not to do mutliple post next time

Is there a way to prepopulate form?

in controller...

form=SQLFORM(db.comment,fields=['name','email','text'])

form.vars.email = current_user.email

return dict(form=form)


in view

{{=form}}

email field doesn't pre-populate the value

before form=SQLFROM

db.comment.name='whatever'

I get this error when I tried to do that..

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "gluon\restricted.pyc", line 60, in restricted
File "applications/blog2/controllers/default.py", line 66, in
<module>
File "applications/blog2/controllers/default.py", line 54, in
addEditComment
File "gluon\sqlhtml.pyc", line 60, in __init__
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'default'


53 db.comment.email='te...@email.com'
54 form=SQLFORM(db.comment,fields=['name','email','text'])


I tried adding default value in the email in the db.py but that didn't
help.

any idea?

51 db.comment.email.default='tes...@yahoo.com'
52 form=SQLFORM(db.comment,fields=['name','email','text'])

I tried with and without having the default value declear in the
db.py. Still not luck.

If comment out the line 51, everything works fine.

I think in your model you have

db.table.field.requires=(.....)

instead of

db.table.field.requires=[.....]

let me know if that is the case.

Ok I see the problem now. I actually have

db.table.email.requires=IS_EMAIL(),

I remove the commas that it works!

Thank you!
