hi. I have started practicing anvil very recently. I am facing issue in navigation between two forms. I ran the code
from ._anvil_designer import Form1Template
from anvil import *
from Form2 import Form2
class Form1(Form1Template):
def __init__(self, **properties):
# Set Form properties and Data Bindings.
self.init_components(**properties)
# Any code you write here will run when the form opens.
def link_1_click(self, **event_args):
"""This method is called when the link is clicked"""
form2=.Form2()
open_form(form2)
but it shows the following error:
ImportError: No module named Form2
plz help.
Hello and welcome,
Is this the exact code? I ask because you have .Form2 (notice the dot) and this would lead to a syntax error AFAIK.
There are a couple ways to open new forms depending on how you have things set up.
If you just want to open a new page and you don’t need the navigation side bar or any of the other Material design-specific details you can just use:
open_form('form_2') # the string is your form's name
If you are using the Material design and want to clear its main content panel and replace it with a new form, you can do this in general:
from ..Form2 import Form2 # this is likely what you were missing
.
.
.
form2=Form2()
self.content_panel.clear()
self.content_panel.add_component(form2)
Here is a clone that demonstrates this concept:

Other notes:
I’ve moved this to a its own topic. It is not useful to other users to reply on old and unrelated topics.
You do not need to ping Anvil staff with “@someone” as they monitor the forum very closely.
You can format your code nicely on the forum by wrapping your code in bacticks. Example,
```python
print('this will be nicely formatted and easy to read')
```
