[google-appengine] Re: Dynamically generated templates
Jason, thanks for the reply. I am quite familiar with the Data Viewer.
I wanted to build something a bit more flexible where I could build a
UI so a layperson (someone that doesn't know GQL) could sort through
all that data.
Jason and Gopal,
I found a solution to store the templates in the db. I created a
simple class which has some simple string construction methods to
build a meta template. I'm going to write a blog post about it
hopefully at some point, until then here's a bit of what I have so
far:
#add this method to any datastore classes you want included (note:
only works on the Model class):
from google.appengine.ext import db
class MyModel(db.Model):
name = db.StringProperty()
location = db.StringProperty()
def get_name(self):
return 'MyModel'
#run this code to construct the template and save it to the datastore:
class Meta_template():
def __init__(self,body):
self.body = body
self.write("")
def write(self,string):
self.body = str(self.body + str(string))
def tags(self,tag,content):
self.write("<%s>%s" % (tag,str(content),tag))
def plural(string):
return str(string + 's')
def make_template(model):
templates = Template_file.all()
model_name = model.all()[0].get_name()
templates.filter('name =', model_name)
tf = templates.get()
if tf:
tf.delete()
mt = Meta_template(body="")
mt.tags('h2', model_name)
mt.write("")
mt.write("")
for property in model.properties():
mt.tags('td', property)
mt.write("")
mt.write("{% for ")
mt.write(model_name + " in ")
mt.write(plural(model_name) + " %}")
mt.write("")
for property in model.properties():
mt.tags('td', '{{ %s.%s }}' % (model_name,property))
mt.write("")
mt.write("{% endfor %}")
mt.write("")
tf = Template_file(name=model_name, body=mt.body)
tf.put()
make_template(MyModel)
#run this code to render the template:
from django.template import Template, Context
class hello(webapp.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
disp = self.response.out.write
def render(template_name, template_values):
path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '%s' %
template_name)
disp(template.render(path, template_values))
model = MyModel
templates = Template_file.all()
templates.filter('name =', model.all()[0].get_name())
tf = templates.get()
t = Template(tf.body)
template_values = { str(model.all()[0].get_name() + 's') :
model.all
() }
c = Context(template_values)
output = t.render(c) #important!
return disp(output)
Lemme know what you think.

[google-appengine] Dynamically generated templates
Hi. I'm trying to build an a simple CRUD admin section of my
application. Basically, for a given Model, I want to have a template
loop through the model's attributes into a simple table (once I do
this, I can actually implement the CRUD part). A possible way to
accomplish this is to dynamically generate a template with all the
necessary template tags specific to that model.
Pseudocode:
def generate_tamplate(model):
template.write("")
template.write("")
for attribute in model:
template.write("%s" % attribute)
template.write("")
template.write("")
for attribute in model:
template.write("{{ %s.%s }}" % model.attribute)
template.write("")
template.write("")
Generating the proper text should not be difficult. I can follow my
pseudocode model and do it Python. Two things im wondering:
1) Can I do this instead using Django's templating language? that is,
use a template to generate a template
2) Once I generate the text, how can I wrote that to a file that
webapp's template loader can access?
I remember a while back seeing something about loading template from
the database. Is this possible with GAE?
THANKS!

[google-appengine] Re: New to google app engine stuff...
Don't think of Google App Engine as a typical hosting service. There is almost zero configuration and server administration. While this is very convenient, you lose some flexibility. The web applications are written only in Python (Java will soon be supported as well) which limits you to Python-based frameworks. You can't run PHP on Google App Engine. I suggest checking out Django before you get your hands dirty with GAE. Once you're comfortable with that, then start learning some GAE.

[google-appengine] query to get a resultset matching multiple attributes
I have a model:
class Route(db.Model):

code = db.StringProperty()
currently_running = db.IntegerProperty()
On my index page, I want to only display several of these routes, and
on another page, display all the routes. I can easily do the latter.
To display only certain routes, how can I make a query like this:
routes = db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM Route WHERE code = 'BL' OR code =
'WL'")
Apperently Gql doesn't like that OR.

I have found the included "new_project_template" to be woefully inadequate for getting a real project started. It's good for learning a hello world app, but when it comes to making apps ready for production, it's nice to make your own template.

[google-appengine] A possible way to improve this Google Group
I hope this is in compliance with posting rules etc etc and I know that it is not usually a good sign to start off with such a sentence, so I'll cut to the chase: I have about 20 beta invites available for a service called Aardvark. Aardvark is new application that facilitates user-to-user questions and answers. Users can both ask and answer questions. Upon registration, users list their areas of expertise. Questions relating to those areas are routed to them. All of this can take place via IM, GChat, and a UI on their web site. You can read more here: http://venturebeat.com/2008/11/05/social-search-product-aardvark-think-yahoo-answers-meets-twitter-but-better/ I think it would be neat if a sizable portion of the Google App Engine Google Group signed up for this service and listed Google App Engine as an area of expertise. I am willing to give away about 10 invites on this group, the only condition is that you *promise* to use your beta invites to invite others from this Google Group as well. In case you were wondering, the other 10 invites will go to the Django Users Group ;) Simply reply or private message me with your email address and I'll get you set up.

[google-appengine] Re: Google App Engine Platform
GAE forces you to use a framework, php doesn't. GAE lets you cheaply host django, web.py and webapp frameworks.

[google-appengine] 500 server error
I have one app right now http://wepaste.appspot.com. I know how to create and upload apps.

[google-appengine] Re: Admin interface that let's me enter dummy data
Thanks for the response. I just dont see a reason why Google can't allow dummy data to be entered via the built in admin interface. If it can create forms when there is data, why cant it create forms without data?

[google-appengine] Admin interface that let's me enter dummy data
I really like GAE's admin interface save for one thing: it doesnt let me enter dummy data--it says I must do it programmatically. While I'm sure there is some legitimate reason for this, I still would like an automated set of forms generated from my existing models. Is anyone else in the same boat as me? Right now I'm stuck manually creating a form class and url for each models--quite messy.

[google-appengine] Database wrapper for datastore
I am wondering if there is any interest in some sort of wrapper for the datastore with other object relational mappers. Such wrappers would make it easier to transition between GAE and other databases-- just change some db settings. For example, while GAE is compatible with Django (.96), you must change all of your database models and queries. I understand that BigTable is not a relational databse, however it can be used somewhat relationally via its ReferenceProperty (). Does anyone else want this? Is it even technically possible/practical? Thanks, Alan --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
