Rodrigo, Thank you very much. That does look simple.
If found this link which describes using http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/thedevwebserver.html but it describes only what should be done on the development system. I cannot find a page which describes your approach on the appspot system. I don't understand how I combine your suggestion with the template information and <form> I already have in my "template" (which is the .html file that creates the google map for the user, right?). Can you say more please? Or are you saying that I must create a separate .html page with the information you are describing? Oh, and do you mean literally "'login_url'" and "'login_url'" and if not, what? To be more specific, I already have the following in my "app". path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'add_place.html') template_values = dict(place=place.place, user=place.user) self.response.out.write(template.render(path, template_values)) And in my "template" I have the following code (I have snipped some). var place_name = '{{place|addslashes}}'; var user_name = '{{user}}'; var iwform = 'Enter your group\'s information:<br>' + '<form onsubmit="process(this); return false" action="#">' + 'Group Name or Initials: ' + '<br />' + '<strong>' + place_name + '</strong>' + '<br />' + 'People' + ' <input type="text" name="people" value="do-gooders" size="31" maxlength="31"/>' + '<br />' [snip] + '<\/form>'; function process(form) { // == populate map data map.setCenter(lastcenter, map.getZoom()); var people = form.people.value; var contact = form.contact.value; [snip] var url = "/add_place?place="+place_name +"¢er_lat="+center_lat+"¢er_lng="+center_lng+"&zoom="+zoom +"&people="+people+"&contact="+contact+"&moreinfo="+moreinfo +"&marker_lat="+marker_lat+"&marker_lng="+marker_lng; // ===== send the data to the server GDownloadUrl(url, function(doc) { }); Thank you, again, On Jan 8, 9:17 am, "Rodrigo Moraes" <rodrigo.mor...@gmail.com> wrote: > you don't need a transaction for that. actually, it seems that you got > completely wrong what transactions are for. > > what you need is to add a link so that users can login and then, after > login, you will be able to get the current user inside your app. > > in your app: > > template_values = {} > template_values['login_url'] = users.get_login_url() > > in your template: > > <a href="{{ login_url }}">login here, buddy!</a> > > that's it, simple as that. > > -- rodrigo Brian in Atlanta --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
