GET forms without _formname

[virhilo]

Hello:)
I want to send a form using get method, so i make form like this:

form=FORM('Package name: ',
INPUT(_name='name', requires=IS_LENGTH(25), value=''),
'Arch: ',
SELECT(OPTION('Wszystkie', _value='all'),
OPTION('i686', _value='32'),
OPTION('x86_64', _value='64'),
requires=IS_IN_SET(['all', '64', '32']),
value='all',
_name='arch'),
INPUT(_type='submit', _value='Search...'),
_method='get',
_action=None)
form.accepts(request.vars)

Everythink working fine, but web2py adding _formname to
request.get_vars, it make urls less reradable.

Turicas from #web2py irc channel helps me to find solution, when
formname='' was added to form.accepts args (so it's now look like
that: form.accepts(request.vars, formname='') ) but then the form
validation don't working,

so another solution is setting formname to None ( form.accepts
(request.vars, formname=None) ), but then the value fields from SELECT
and INPUT are not parsed, form return error 'Value not allowed'

The web2py default's is to send formname as a hidden field _formname.
i think it is unnecessary. The only modification here is that if user
submit a form without fill any field, form won't show errors.

I believe this is working but I think you want something slightly
different:

def test():

form=FORM('Package name: ',
INPUT(_name='name', requires=IS_LENGTH(25), value=''),
'Arch: ',
SELECT(OPTION('Wszystkie', _value='all'),
OPTION('i686', _value='32'),
OPTION('x86_64', _value='64'),
requires=IS_IN_SET(['all', '64', '32']),
value='all',
_name='arch'),
INPUT(_type='submit', _value='Search...'),
_method='get',
_action=None)

if request.vars and form.accepts(request.vars,formname=None):
session.flash="searching..."
redirect('somewhere')
return dict(form=form)

No i don't want redirections-i want to stay on the same site:) Only
don't want to have _formname in url.
formname=None cause the INPUT and SELECT '_value' is not parsed
formname='' disable validation :(
or maybe I doing something wrong?

Then this should do it

if request.vars and form.accepts(request.vars,formname=None):
response.flash="done"

Thanks a lot-it's working:)
I can have only:
request.vars and form.accepts(request.vars, formname=None)
line(without 'if') if i don't want to display any information-yes?:)

It was added in last releases? I remember that I tried it and didn't work.

Has been there is a while. It is possible it was broken in the pre
1.53 version.
