Error when implementing search_widget for SQLFORM.smartgrid

[Seth J]

Hello again,

I apologize for potentially naive question as I am new to web2py.  I am trying to implement a custom search_widget on SQLFORM.smartgrid and ran into an error.

My table is defined in db.py as such:

## We prepend f_ to fieldnames for disambiguity

db._common_fields.append(auth.signature)  ## adds signature fields to all tables

db.define_table('work_log',

                Field('f_jacket_no', type='string',

                      label=T('Jacket Number')),

                Field('f_job_title_format_no', type='string',

                      label=T('Job Title & Format Number')),

                Field('f_assoc_no', type='string',

                      label=T('Associated Information')),

                Field('f_status_destination', type='string',

                      label=T('Status & Destination')),

                Field('f_probe', type='boolean',

                      label=T('Peps')),

                Field('created_on', type='date', default=request.now,

                      label=T('Date Out')),

                format='%(f_job_title_format_no)s',

                migrate=settings.migrate)

db.work_log._plural = T('Work Log')

db.work_log._singular = T('Work Entry')

db.work_log.f_jacket_no.requires = IS_MATCH('\d{3}-\d{3}', strict=True, error_message='Please use 000-000 format for Jacket No. (including leading 0)')

db.work_log.f_job_title_format_no.requires = requires=IS_IN_SET(['Public Law: 6580', 'W&M Hearing: 5011', 'VA Hearing: 5011', 'State Disburse: 9334', 'Leg Calendar: 7800', 'Leg Branch Appro: 3700', 'Final Calendar: 7800', '112th Congress: 7800', 'CFR: 8091 (Indicate title & vol. num. at Assoc. Info.)', 'Other (Indicate at Assoc. Info.)'])

db.work_log.f_status_destination.requires = requires=IS_IN_SET(['1st Try: PR', 'OK to Print: TE', 'CX\'s: PR', 'AA\'s: PR', 'Converted: TP'])

db.work_log.created_on.represent = lambda value, x: value.strftime('%m/%d/%Y')

db.work_log.created_on.writable = False

## after defining tables, uncomment below to enable auditing

auth.enable_record_versioning(db)

In a default.py controller I have among other standard things these two functions of interest  I followed example from this topic (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/web2py/tku5zkVZfZc) :

def contactSearch(self):

    # Build a simple form

    userId = auth.user_id

    

    form = FORM('',

        LABEL('Name:', _for='asset_name'),

        INPUT(_name='asset_name',_value=userId, _id='web2py_asset_name'),

        INPUT(_type='submit',_value=T('Search')),

        INPUT(_type='submit',_value=T('Clear'), _onclick="jQuery('#asset_name').val('');"), _method="GET",_action='self', _id='contactSearch')

    return form

@auth.requires_login()

def work_log_manage():

    is_owner = (lambda row: row.created_by == auth.user_id) if auth.user else False

    db.work_log.id.readable=False # Since we do not want to expose the id field on the grid

    db.work_log.created_by.readable=True # Show owner of record

    db.work_log_archive.id.readable=False # Since we do not want to expose the id field on the grid

    links = [lambda row: A('View Post',_href=URL("default","work_log_archive.current_record",args=[row.id]))]

    orderby = ['created_on']

    

    searchForms = dict(work_log=contactSearch, work_log_archive=None)

    

    grid = SQLFORM.smartgrid(db.work_log, linked_tables = ['work_log_archive'], editable= dict(work_log=is_owner, work_log_archive=False), deletable= dict(work_log=is_owner, work_log_archive=False), user_signature=True, details=False, search_widget=searchForms, showbuttontext=True, links_in_grid=False, links=links, paginate=30, maxtextlengths={'work_log.f_job_title_format_no':60}, orderby=orderby)

    return dict(grid=grid)

I know contactSearch doesn't do much.  At the moment I am simply trying to display a widget.  I get the following error when accessing a page:

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

Error snapshot help

<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>(contactSearch() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given))

 So I must be missing something very obvious, at least I hope so.  Can anybody help me here, please????

Found a solution to this problem.  It appears that "contactSearch" needs two parameters and should be defined as follows (older examples had it wrong):

def contactSearch(self, url):
...
   return form
