web2py: custom forms are not being submitted

i was working with custom forms in web2py and faced 2 problems

after a validation/verfication i got those values:

form.accepts(request.vars, session) => False
form.errors => <Storage ()>

now what i have :

controller:

def new():
    form=crud.create(db.i2l_letter)
    print form.errors
    if form.accepts(request.vars, session):
        response.flash='Bitte warten'
    elif form.errors:
        response.flash='Bitte fuellen sie das Formular richtig aus'
    else:
        pass
    return dict(form=form)

view:

{{if form.errors:}}
  Your submitted form contains the following errors:
  <ul>
  {{=form.errors.date_format}}
  {{for fieldname in form.errors:}}
    <li>{{=fieldname}} error: {{=form.errors[fieldname]}}</li>
  {{pass}}
  </ul>
  {{form.errors.clear()}}
{{pass}}
{{=form.custom.begin}}

<table>
<tr>
<td>{{=form.custom.label.date_format}}</td>
<td>{{=form.custom.label.myref}}</td>
<td>{{=form.custom.label.yourref}}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{=form.custom.widget.date_format}}</td>
<td>{{=form.custom.widget.myref}}</td>
<td>{{=form.custom.widget.yourref}}</td>
</tr>
</table>
<div>{{=form.custom.submit}}</div>
{{=form.custom.end}}
{{pass}}

so what am i doing wrong ?

crud.create() handles the form processing automatically, so you should not call form.accepts() after it. Please read the book section on Crud.

If you have web2py 2.0+ try to replace your controller code with this:

def new():
    form=SQLFORM(db.i2l_letter)
    print form.errors
    if form.process().accepted:
        response.flash='Bitte warten'
    elif form.errors:
        response.flash='Bitte fuellen sie das Formular richtig aus'

    return dict(form=form)
