[web2py] Re: passing value to xml

[b0j3]

Thanks, guys.
That helped.
I also found out (not reading the manual - manly I am), that putting
@service.xml before the definition in controller means the xml return
is somewhat mandatory, but you have to use xml in your URL e.g.:
http://example.com/example/default/call/xml/controller/pass_value

[web2py] passing value to xml

[b0j3]

Hi!

I'm using service.xml to return value and the call is:

http://server.com/service.xml

I'd like to pass a key value, so I can distinguish users. Is there a
way to pass a key value?
Any suggestions?

I thought to just add a html view and pass the key through that and
then use session to see if it's the same user, but I'd like to stay in
XML even if I have to pass the key  with every call.

Thanks for help,

Boštjan

[web2py] Re: cron doesn't work

[b0j3]

According to my understanding of web2py book you should use hard coded
cron, which means the system one.

[web2py] Re: cron doesn't work

[b0j3]

I tried the same on my cron (just working on it) and it looks like it
doesn't run when web2py is run in wsgi under Apache2.
When I start it with python web2py works w/o a problem.
Strange.

[web2py] facebook insights

[b0j3]

Hi!

I'd like to use Facebook's insights in web2py, but after adding the
meta tag for the domain to the layout.html,
the only thing I get is "No admin data found.".

Did anybody successfully added Insights to web2py?

Hi.

I'm not sure if that is a good way to program. Some would say, that
you shouldn't change variable in the view so I don't think (I might be
wrong, though), that it could work like that.


What would you like to achieve?

[web2py] passing json from javascript to controller

[b0j3]

Hi!

I'm trying to call controller from javascript using the jquery load:

$.post("todb",{"name": in_name,"desc": in_desc, "location": in_loc});

The problem is that I don't know how to get the json valu passed to
todb controller.
I've tried
@service.json decorator,
adding variable to the function definition and also
gluon.contrib.simplejson.loads(response.body.read())
but I always get an error message.

Do you guys have a recomendation or idea what to do?

[web2py] page redirect

[b0j3]

Hi!

I need to open an URL from the controller, but the URL is not part of
the domain where web2py runs.
So what I would like is Redirect to work on the other URL e.g. my
domain is www.home.com, but I'd like redirect to go to www.there.com.
Can that be done?

Thanks,

[web2py] adding fields to SQLFORM.factory

[b0j3]

Hi!

I'd like to add new fields to SQLFORM.factory, but I don't know in
advance how many fields are there and their names.
So I'd like to create something as tuple with field names and then use
for command to cycle through the tuple and create Fields to add to
SQLFORM.factory.

Can something like that be done and how?
All examples I see are with already created fields.

Thanks,
