If you benefit from web2py hope you feel encouraged to pay it forward by contributing back to society in whatever form you choose!

*UPDATE* This module is no longer maintained. Please use SQLFORM.grid instead.


Add the webgrid.py module to your modules folder (download at bottom)

In your model:

webgrid = local_import('webgrid')

In your controller:

def index():
    grid = webgrid.WebGrid(crud)
    grid.datasource = db(db.things.id>0)
    grid.pagesize = 10
    return dict(grid=grid()) #notice the ()

The datasource can be a Set, Rows, Table, or list of Table. Joins are also supported.

grid.datasource = db(db.things.id>0) #Set
grid.datasource = db(db.things.id>0).select() #Rows
grid.datasource = db.things #Table
grid.datasource = [db.things,db.others] #list of Table
grid.datasource = db(db.things.id==db.others.thing)# join

The main row components of the WebGrid are header, filter, datarow, pager, page_total, footer

You can link to crud functions using action_links. Just tell it where crud is exposed:

grid.crud_function = 'data'

You can turn rows on and off:

grid.enabled_rows = ['header','filter', 'pager','totals','footer','add_links']

You can control the fields and field headers:

grid.fields = ['things.name','things.location','things.amount']
grid.field_headers = ['Name','Location','Amount']

You can control the action links (links to crud actions) and action headers:

grid.action_links = ['view','edit','delete']
grid.action_headers = ['view','edit','delete']

You will want to modify crud.settings.[action]_next so that it redirects to your WebGrid page after completing:

if request.controller == 'default' and request.function == 'data':
    if request.args:
        crud.settings[request.args(0)+'_next'] = URL(r=request,f='index')

You can get page totals for numeric fields:

grid.totals = ['things.amount']

You can set filters on columns:

grid.filters = ['things.name','things.created']

You can modify the Query that filters use (not available if your datasource is a Rows object, use rows.find):

grid.filter_query = lambda f,v: f==v

You can control which request vars are allowed to override the grid settings:

grid.allowed_vars = ['pagesize','pagenum','sortby','ascending','groupby','totals']

The WebGrid will use a field's represent function if present when rendering the cell. If you need more control, you can completely override the way a row is rendered.

The functions that render each row can be replaced with your own lambda or function:

grid.view_link = lambda row: ...
grid.edit_link = lambda row: ...
grid.delete_link = lambda row: ...
grid.header = lambda fields: ...
grid.datarow = lambda row: ...
grid.footer = lambda fields: ...
grid.pager = lambda pagecount: ...
grid.page_total = lambda:

Here are some useful variables for building your own rows:

grid.joined # tells you if your datasource is a join
grid.css_prefix # used for css
grid.tablenames
grid.response # the datasource result
grid.colnames # column names of datasource result
grid.pagenum
grid.pagecount
grid.total # the count of datasource result

For example, let's customize the footer:

grid.footer = lambda fields : TFOOT(TD("This is my footer" , 
                                                      _colspan=len(grid.action_links)+len(fields),
                                                      _style="text-align:center;"),
                                               _class=grid.css_prefix + '-webgrid footer')

You can also customize messages:

grid.messages.confirm_delete = 'Are you sure?'
grid.messages.no_records = 'No records'
grid.messages.add_link = '[add %s]'
grid.messages.page_total = "Total:"

You can also also use the row_created event to modify the row when it is created. Let's add a column to the header:

def on_row_created(row,rowtype,record):
    if rowtype=='header':
        row.components.append(TH(' '))

grid.row_created = on_row_created

Let's move the action links to the right side:

def links_right(tablerow,rowtype,rowdata):
    if rowtype != 'pager':
        links = tablerow.components[:3]
        del tablerow.components[:3]
        tablerow.components.extend(links)

grid.row_created = links_right

alt text

If you are using multiple grids on the same page, they must have unique names.

    My table shows up on WebGrid, but the columns are much too wide to be useful. What is the best way to display 'thin' columns of integers. db.define_table('Commodity_Risk', Field('name','string'), Field('capacity','string'), Field('volatility','integer'), Field('bid_spread','integer'), Field('ask_spread','integer'), Field('low_limit','integer'), Field('high_limit','integer'), Field('volatility_surface','upload'), format = '%(name)s')

    There are a couple ways. The easiest is to probably just modify the row when it's created:
    def add_mail_link(tablerow,rowtype,rowdata):
        if rowtype == 'datarow':
            mail_link = A(...)
            tablerow.components.insert(2, mail_link)
    grid.row_created = add_mail_link

    The datasource must be a Set or Rows object like:
    db(db.things.id>0) #best way
    db(db.things.id>0).select() #slower way

    Hi again. Maybe being dim - but I'm not sure what your last comment means. Making filter_items_query the same as the datasource doesn't seem to have any effect on the values in the filter drop downs. Your comment "The filter_items_query isn't a subset of datasource." - that's what you are saying I guess. You've said the filter_query is for the results, not the values in the filter - so that's probably not a solution. So I'm thinking it is not possible to restrict the values in the filter drop downs to values that appear in the corresponding results column? Is that correct? The problem I have is one of my filters is names of people in the user's organisation, but this is a shared system with users from other organisations. The datasource only shows data from the current user's organisation so I need to limit the filter values to maintain confidentiality across organisations. If I can't limit the values, I can't use webgrid :O(

    Thanks for this usefully module. In this code: grid.datasource = db(db.things.category==db.category.id) grid.fields = ['things.id','things.category','things.name', 'things.owner'] I can't change 'things.category' by 'category.name' ? (add other field of 'category' table) For many page, i had tiny changed: "for x in xrange(1, pagecount + 1)", instead: p1 = 1 if (self.pagenum<5) else self.pagenum-4 p2 = pagecount + 1 if (self.pagenum > pagecount -4) else self.pagenum + 6 if (p2<11) & (pagecount >10): p2 = 11 for x in xrange(p1, p2):

    I have a complicated query as a data source and the filter drop downs contain items that aren't in the records displayed in the grid. I understand I should use the 'grid.filter_items_query' field and ave done - but it seems to make no difference. I get many more entries in the drop down than are in the grid. Here's the two lines of code that are relevant. Any ideas?
    grid.datasource = db((db.stories.priority_id==db.storypriority.id) & (db.stories.assigned_id==db.auth_user.id) & \
            (db.stories.status_id==db.storystatus.id) & (db.stories.app_id==db.applications.id) & \
            (db.applications.org_id==session.org_id))
        grid.filter_items_query = lambda field: (db.stories.app_id==db.applications.id) & (db.applications.org_id==session.org_id)

    The filter_items_query isn't a subset of datasource. It's counter-intuitive but more flexible that way. You may need to modify the filter_query also.

    For some reason lc4 is null when it calls the represent function. I'm not sure if this is related to WebGrid. Can you try changing the represent for lc4 to this:

    Using the grid - like it! One of my users asked me if he could have a 'clear all filters' button so he lists all records (having multiple drop downs already selected). I said I'd check. I know I could stick a link somewhere to revisit the page (as on first entry) to achieve this, but is there an option within Webgrid to display a button/link to do this?

    mr.freeze - if datasource defined as set, for example: db(db.things.id>0) #Set I must define grid.fields = ['things.name','things.location','things.amount'] or i got error in webgrid line 203: idfield = self.fields[0].split('.')[0] +'.id' IndexError: list index out of range.

    In the case of large result sets, you may want to add an ellipsis for the page number list. For example, if you populate the database with 500 records, you will need to scroll to the right in order to see all of the page numbers, and it skews the output. So instead of listing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc., you would want to show 1, 2, 3, ..., 48, 49, 50.

    It takes over 8.5 seconds to render the response for a table containing 10,000 rows when talking to a MySQL database. I think I have identified "chattiness" in the code. If all fields are being selected (even though they will not be displayed as per the grid.fields parameter), I would not expect additional select statements outside of the COUNT(*) statement. The data is already in memory and just needs to be parsed. What does everyone think? Model snippet:
    db.define_table('allstats',
                    Field('pdate','datetime'),
                    Field('class','string',length=45),
                    Field('instance','string',length=45),

    You are absolutely right! I updated it to select only the fields. Please add 'allstats.id' to your list of fields and try the updated module.

    Getting better! Would it be possible to eliminate the last three SELECT statements, since the data is obtained using the first SELECT? I think this might eliminate the extra network traffic and processing time. Wireshark capture:
    SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=1;
    SET sql_mode='NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES';
    SELECT allstats.id, allstats.pdate, allstats.parameter, allstats.peaktime FROM allstats WHERE allstats.id>48000 LIMIT 100 OFFSET 100;
    SELECT count(*) FROM allstats WHERE allstats.id>48000;
    SELECT allstats.id, allstats.id FROM allstats WHERE allstats.id>0;
    SELECT allstats.id, allstats.pdate FROM allstats WHERE allstats.id>0;
    SELECT allstats.id, allstats.parameter FROM allstats WHERE allstats.id>0;
    SELECT allstats.id, allstats.peaktime FROM allstats WHERE allstats.id>0;
    commit

    These are for the filter row. I don't think there's a way to avoid making the extra selects since the filter values wouldn't be a subset of the datasource.

    is there a way, how can I specify default(initial) sort order?

    I'm using WebGrid in Czech language application. I found there are several text strings not being externalized into settings. To change them, I have to modify source which is not good for upgrades. (e.g. previous, next and many others)

    @david - You can use grid.sortby and grid.ascending to control the initial order. Which strings need to be externalized?

    In current source there are lines like: total records ... ln. 349 prev/next ... lines 362, 363 and arround view/edit/delete ... lines 243,248,252 file ... ln. 458

    Thanks David. You can now do:
        grid.messages.page_info = 'Page %(pagenum)s of %(pagecount)s Total %(total)s'
        grid.messages.view_link = 'View'
        grid.messages.delete_link = 'Delete'
        grid.messages.edit_link = 'Edit'
        grid.messages.file_link = 'File'
        grid.messages.previous_page = ' Previous'
        grid.messages.next_page = 'Next '

    Hi mr.freeze, Any help on my query dated 2010-07-09 (including sum in fields)?

    @adsahay - This isn't currently supported. I'll see what I can do to add it.

    I think you need to include the table name with man_in_charge:
    grid.fields = ['task.title','task.man_in_charge']

    I have a datasource which has "sum", like:
    grid.datasource = db(db.things.id>0).select(db.things.inventory.sum())
    I get a key error in grid. How do I fix this?
