I'm setting up a data entry/data update form for legal cases. Each case has a few documents associated with it. The person entering data enters the number of documents, a script creates necessary records, then presents them with a screen that should look a bit like this, with every datum being updateable:
doc |title |source | pages | ... +----+----------------+------------+---------+ | 01 |title of doc 1 |doc1 source | # of pgs| ... +----+----------------+------------+---------+ | 02 |title of doc 2 |doc2 source | # of pgs| ... +----+----------------+------------+---------+ | 03 |title of doc 3 |doc3 source | # of pgs| ... +----+----------------+------------+---------+ ....etc.
This is so they can enter data about many documents on a single screen. I'm not sure how to bind multiple rows/records to a single Z SQL Method. Any suggestions? The magic lies in the ":records" form variable suffix.
You can look at the ZPublisher section in URL:http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/book/chap3.html to find out more. Alternatively, there is a HowTo on FormVariable suffixes on Zope.org. Finally, a search in the (searchable) list archive will show you various posts about this question (very recently). Dieter
