If this worked was a bug. You cannot extend two views.
You can do this:
layout.html
htmlhead/headbody{{include}}/body/html
main.html
{{extend 'layout.html'}} div my body stuff here /div
Or you can do this:
header.html
htmlhead/headbody
footer.html
/body/html
main.html
{{include 'header.html'}} div my body stuff here /div{{include
'footer.html'}}
You can have various combination of the two but not the one you used.
As explained in the manual the view hierarchy is a try. Extend points
to a parent. A node in a tree cannot have two parents.

[web2py] Should forms be defined in the controller or the view?
I am wondering what are the issues to be considered when deciding where to
generate a form. Is it better to do so in the controller or in the view? Or is
it just a matter of personal preference?
An example code snippet is show below. Given that first() and second() actions
generates identical forms, is it better to generate the form in some_view.html,
instead of in the controller, considering efficiency and DRY?
===
# some_view.html
{{=some_form}}
# first.html
{{ extend some_view.html }}
# second.html
{{ extend some_view.html }}
#default.py
def first():
...
some_form = #SQLFORM code

return {'some_form':some_form}
def second():
...
some_form = #SQLFORM code

[web2py] $.ajax() call uses different session
As a side-issue from another post I made recently, it seems to be the case that when javascript $.ajax() method is executed, and it points to a controller function, a different session is used in that target controller function than the original one. This could be because the session cookie is not being submitted in the ajax call itself. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a way to get fix it?

Ok, I was wrong about pretty much everything: 1) $.ajax() DOES send all the cookies back 2) The session variable IS the same session variable, and it does update correctly 3) My problem was a race condition. The function changing the session as a result of the $.ajax call was being triggered slightly later than the page refresh itself (I was calling an ajax function in the onclick event of an A() tag.) I solved my issue by doing the ajax session update synchronously, IOW the link redirect had to wait. So, nothing to see here, move along :)

My tests below doesn't seem to permanently update the session object

Ok, I was wrong. Everything does work as expected, provided you do
the following:
A(
'Click Me',
_href=URL(f='showme'),
_onclick=XML($.ajax({url: 'setnum/ + str(i) + ', async:
false}))
)
The trick there is the async: false. My problem was a race between
the ajax session update (inside controller function setnum) versus the
page display of session status in controller function showme().
It all now works as expected, however, I remain unsure about this as a
viable strategy anyway. I would love to hear about best practice here.

[web2py] support for Daytona database
Out there, there is a database called daytona, it uses C, and on top of C there is Cymbl that takes SQL and translate that to Cymbl, then Cymbl gets translated to C for the database to understand the request. This is a very complicated powerful database. My question is : since web2py is a powerful simple framework, can it simplify daytona? I have no more information about daytona, they said the firm that developed it has placed it as an open source, but not sure. Daytona is a very powerful database that can store billions of rows of data; they said: you stop using daytona when you ran out of space ( hardware), or when you do not have any more data to store. For web2py supporting daytona will give it a high visibility. Debebe

AFAIK, you only get to use two HTTP methods (regardless of whether AJAX is involved or not): GET and POST. GET uses query params to pass around values (in the URL as you say), and POST sends them inside the request. There are no other options. At any length, web is stateless. It means that the server-side doesn't have to know what the user was doing on the previous page when processing a request. This implies that everything you have to know when server is processing a request, has to be made available to the server at the time request is made. Fighting that is time-consuming, and usually not a very good idea. In your case, the best way is actually number 1: use GET. This results in a single request, and that's how HTTP is supposed to work. Since you say the data is already in the table on the page, there's no point in trying to hide it, especially since POST isn't really hiding anything if someone really wants to get ahold of request data. -- Branko Vukelić bg.bra...@gmail.com stu...@brankovukelic.com Check out my blog: http://www.brankovukelic.com/ Check out my portfolio: http://www.flickr.com/photos/foxbunny/ Registered Linux user #438078 (http://counter.li.org/) I hang out on identi.ca: http://identi.ca/foxbunny Gimp Brushmakers Guild http://bit.ly/gbg-group

The datum in my case is a room rate that a client must pay.
Recalculation is somewhat complicated, and I had hoped to avoid a
recalculation and just pass the already-calculated value to the
confirmation page. I cannot let that be part of the URL for obvious
reasons, and I suspect having it appear in postdata will also be
problematic. One the first page, the user select one of many rates.
In the following page, I ask for confirmation. How to get the
previously-calculated rate over to the confirmation page?
Probably the safest is for me to calculate it again, I guess.
FWIW I solved my state problem with a form post, as you suggested:
def testajax2():
rows=[]
for i in range(10):
rows.append(
TR(
'A cottage on the river','','','',
INPUT(_name='b'+str(i), _value='Book Now!',
_type='submit', _onclick=XML(
$('#choice').val(' + str(i) + '); $
('#disposition').val(' + str(i*10) + '); $('#weaponry').val(' +
str(i*100) + ')))
)
)
return dict(form=FORM(
INPUT(_name='choice', _id='choice', _type='hidden',
value='0'),
INPUT(_name='disposition', _id='disposition',
_type='hidden', value='0'),
INPUT(_name='weaponry', _id='weaponry',
_type='hidden', value='0'),
TABLE(rows),
_action=URL(f=showme)
)
)
There are a bunch of submit buttons in one form which contains a table
with many rows. The onclick event of the submit button sets the
values of three hidden input fields in the form. My previous
javascript attempts would be no safer anyway, because the setter URL
would still have been visible in the page source.
So as I said, looks like the safest is for me to simply calculate the
rate again.

I was naively thinking that since Rows has colnames in the format 'table.column' that Row would know how to r['table.column'].

[web2py] confused about services and authorization
I have spent the bulk of last evening and this morning trying to test web2py services and authorization. In addition to setting auth.settings.allow_basic_login = True I have deleted the call function in the default controller, created a seperate controller mmservices,and and populated with the following code: @auth.requires_login() def call(): exposes services. for example: http:///[app]/default/call/jsonrpc decorate with @services.jsonrpc the functions to expose supports xml, json, xmlrpc, jsonrpc, amfrpc, rss, csv session.forget() return service() @service.xmlrpc def getmeetings(): if auth.is_logged_in(): return 'you are logged in!' else: return 'NO DICE' @service.xmlrpc def test(insink): if auth.is_logged_in(): return 'test: you are logged in!' else: return 'test: NO DICE' My questions are: 1) what is the purpose of the call function? I see that it is part of the proxy when invoking, but am not sure where it gets invoked or what it does. Does there need to be a separate call for each web- service function (as I saw in a forum post)? 2) when i enter http://www.meetingmonkey.net/init/mmservices/getmeetings without logging in I get no dice. I suspect this is due to the fact that I am accessing the function because it is in a controller. This is not the desired behavior as I want to ensure the user has logged in before getting access to the function. Is there a complete example of the best practice for implementing web-services including where to put various parts of code? 3) when I enter http://www.meetingmonkey.net/init/mmservices/call/xmlrpc/getmeetings without logging 8in I am redirected to the login page. I would rather just return an unauthorized error, but do not know how to do?

[web2py] Grouping fields
Hello, is there a simple way to group fields? I have a big table with about 70 fields and I want to group them in the view in some tabs. How can I group them? What I thought is to use table inheritance, so that I have my groups already formed in virtual table defs and the db def is also more readable. After that I will create containers directly in view via js/jquery. Is there a better way? Would be nice if we can add something in field defs so that SQLFORM can group them directly :D Thank you -- Massimiliano

There must be no way a user can change the charge amount at any stage of the process. I had another idea a short while ago: I'll cache charge amount for all the rows (in the server-side session object), and send through (as form post data) the identity of the selected row. That way, the next controller function will be able to retrieve the appropriate calculation result for the selected row, and the user will have no way to edit the calculation amount.

[web2py] Re: Function that does not require a view
From http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/04#Dispatching : Functions that take arguments or start with a double underscore are not publicly exposed and can only be called by other functions. So, as long as a function takes at least one argument, it will be private, even without the double underscore.

[web2py] Setting the default user id derived from a custom auth table in a record
The snippet below defines a table that stores comments that are
created. The 1st field `user` records the user id of the user who
created the record. I am trying to set the default value to the
current authenticated user, using auth.user_id as suggested in
Chapter 13 of the web2py book.
Although the transaction is successful, the value recorded is None.
I have also used auth.user.id but this leads to AttributeError:
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id
Would anyone please kindly explain to me why auth.user.id and
auth.user_id are failing as described?

How about include all the calculated values in your form and add in an additional field that's a HMAC keyed hash of the others using a key that only you know? When the user submits, make sure the rest of the field values still combine hash the same way and then you'll know the user hasn't messed with the form. For that matter you could probably safely just put it all in the URL's query string since if the user messes with any part of it you'll know. http://docs.python.org/library/hmac.html You may even just be able to use web2py's CRYPT() validator.

By keeping the footer separate from the header I can make my app more

The blocks are a great addition, I have no need yet, as the method I

for blocks though, so I am very happy they are included now. I will
definitely make much use of them.

The best way to do this it probably use a table for unconfirmed offerings. And move them into confirmed table once confirmation is done. Ok, that's something I'll think about. However, having also thought about it more myself, I reckon I am going to go with the idea of storing all rows' data in the server-side session before showing the selection page that displays all rows, and passing (from the client) only the user-selected row index to the subsequent controller function, via a form submit. Then, in that controller, I'll look up the other data for the selected row again on the server side using the server-side session, and show the confirmation page with the calculated data again. The quantity of data is going to be small enough that size is no issue (say 30 selectable rows), and this scheme is very simple, hence low likelihood of bugs, and other unforeseen situations. Thanks very much for your help. It is amazing how much an intelligent sounding board helps to clarify thought.

It's very clever, but too much work. I am rather going to keep my calculated values in the server-side session, and always fetch them from there. The client will only every submit an index into that server-side hash. I am fairly sure now that this is the way to go here.

Yet, Massimo mentioned in an early tip similar to this that web2py
would be serving static files, and is thus not meant for production.

what does it do? It writes routes for you based on a simpler routing
configuration file called routes.conf. here is an example:
- BEGIN routes.conf---
127.0.0.1 /examples/default
domain1.com /app1/default
domain2.com /app2/default
domain3.com /app3/default
- END --
It maps a domain (the left had side) into an app and it shortens the
URLs for the app, by removing the listed path prefix. That means
http://domain1.com/indexwillbemapped into
/app1/default/indexhttp://domain2.com/indexwillbemapped into
/app2/default/index
It is safe in that it preserves admin, appadmin, static files,
favicon.ico and robots.txt.
http://domain1.com/favicon.icohttp://domain1.com/robots.txthttp://dom..
/admin/...http://domain1.com/appadmin/...
/app1/appadmin/...http://domain1.com/static/... /app1/static/...
and vice-versa.
It does assume one app per domain.
I think something like this should be default since lots of people
find routes.py hard to work with.
Comments? Suggestions?

[web2py] better mercurial integration
Hello everybody,
I am working on improving the web2py web interface to mercurial.
http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/mercurial/commit
We can current create a repo, commit and get changelog but I cannot figure out
how to do revert.
Here is the code I have:
import os
uio = ui.ui()
uio.quiet = True
if not os.environ.get('HGUSER') and not uio.config(ui, username):
os.environ['HGUSER'] = 'web...@localhost'
try:
repo = hg.repository(ui=uio, path=path)
except:
repo = hg.repository(ui=uio, path=path, create=True)
given repo and a revision number from repo.changelog, how to I revert all files
to that revision using the API?
Massimo
[web2py] Re: Powered by web2py
A few more ideas for the Poweredby page: - When entering the URL for a site, failure to include the http://; results in the link simply not working. To avoid this problem, maybe include the http://; in the URL text box by default (or automatically prepend http://; to any URL submitted without http://;). - I think we need a little more vertical space between the name of one site and the thumbnail of the site below it. As is, once you're in the middle of the page and can no longer see the top or bottom row for reference, it's difficult to tell whether the name/link is associated with the thumbnail above it or below it. - Is there a reason the Poweredby page doesn't use the same layout as the new web2py.com site? - Would be great if we could have a handful of featured sites displayed separately at the top -- there are a few real standouts that are getting lost in the crowd. - Of course, now that we've got a great Poweredby list, we need to link to it from somewhere -- maybe add a link in the right sidebar of web2py.com (maybe at the top of the list of links, or even as a separate link just below the book).

I am working on plugin central, finally have some free time to devote to the project. However I am a horrible artist, and wonder if anyone would like to help me with designing a logo? This is my color scheme White - body content #5E99E7 - Links main color (a light blue) #F5F4EF - Grey, page background I would like to use the new Ubuntu font since it is open source. -- Thadeus
[web2py] run-away threads
Every so often, I have to restart web2py because no threads will respond. I guess that some set of conditions in one of my controllers leads to an infinite loop? Is there a way to set a timeout on controller functions? Can you suggest any way to troubleshoot? Thanks.
[web2py] Re: tip of the day. The power of routes
Thank you Massimo. Your script as is didn't work for me (I use debian
lenny). Apache complained about not recognizing virtual hosts and
that there was a duplicate of the wgsi deamon (I suppose only one
deamon should be named web2py). I had to modify it to make it work.
(But still not desirable, more on this later). In case, this might
be helpful to others, here's my Apache's configuration:
(Note, I run the daemon process using myaccount not as www-data; this
deviates from the official web2py suggestion)
VirtualHost *:80
WSGIDaemonProcess web2py user=myaccount group=myaccount \
display-name=%{GROUP}
WSGIProcessGroup web2py
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/myaccount/web2py/wsgihandler.py
Directory /home/myaccount/web2py
AllowOverride None
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
Files wsgihandler.py
Allow from all
/Files
/Directory
Location /admin
Deny from all
/Location
LocationMatch ^/appadmin
Deny from all
/LocationMatch
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log common
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
/VirtualHost
Now for each app and domain name, I have one of these:
VirtualHost *:80
ServerName *.mydomain.com
ServerAlias *.mydomain.com
AliasMatch ^/static/(.*) \
/home/myaccount/web2py/applications/app/static/$1
Directory /home/myaccount/web2py/applications/app/static/
Options -Indexes
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
/Directory
/VirtualHost
This seems to work for me. One caveat is that I can access the other
apps from any of the domains.

Do you send debugging output to the cmd shell window, and then restore that window to inspect your output? It could be that that shell window is locking your app, because you clicked somewhere inside it. Just hit enter with the focus on the shell window, and the lock should be gone. I do this fairly often. I don't know why the shell window locks.
[web2py] Re: better mercurial integration
Actually I just did this with some help from Boris from the mercurial
mailing list.
Now if you run web2py from source ad you have mercurial installed
(easy_install mercurial) you can use the web2py admin to:
- create a repository (this is done automatically and it also makes
a .hgignore)
- commit file
- see log changes
- see list of files for each committed revision
- revert to past revision
(all by just clicking)
One important missing feature is the ability to get a diff vs a given
revision.
Another feature I would like to have is the ability to push from a web
repository or revert to it.

Hi Massimo,
Ok, now I feel bad... I have not had the time to finish the
integration app I promised... Much is done, but not yet complete... I
still do intend on completing though... hopefully soon...
Until then, what is your intent here? are you looking to restore a
fileset (or entire tree) to a specific version from repo (without
changing meta data), are you looking to drop all meta changes, revert
you local code line to known state?
are you looking for a quick and dirty recipe like with combination of
cmds to delete local changesets and revert to a speciic version (or
#head revision) of the remote depot? like:
delete local repo, then:
hg init -- create new
hg pull -- get a version
hg update -- well, just update...
Although, by reading your commit script, I'd say you're pretty handy
with mercurial API as it is.
anyways, depends what you are looking to do... I can give you some
quick and dirty recipes if you like, if it helps.

[web2py] Re: Link-pass data to new view via session not on URL
If you're looking up off of a session variable, be sure to take into account what might happen if a user happens to have your site open in multiple windows/tabs. What if you've got a client looking for room rates in different tabs for two different dates or rooms trying to do some comparison shopping? They have tab A open with rates for date A and tab B open for rates for date B. They decide that they like offer #5 on tab A and click the link/submit the form. However, the contents of the session have changed since tab A was originally rendered and you now you actually look up offer #5 from tab B and the client gets something completely different than what they wanted. It may not be a concern for your app, but it is something to consider.

It's very clever, but too much work. I am rather going to keep my calculated values in the server-side session, and always fetch them from there. The client will only every submit an index into that server-side hash. I am fairly sure now that this is the way to go here.

[web2py] Re: better mercurial integration
K, good stuff! I'll use what you and Boris came up with and integrate
to mine (will help speed things up) the other project :) and for the
other thing, great idea (i think). what do you mean by web
repository? do you mean reproduce from the code behind a live web2py
server instance? which would be a grand idea! if that's what you mean.
I would doable if a well kept manifest (generated through automation
on pull) describing in xml format file names (path) and rev # be
installed long with web2py. then a simple xmlrpc meg over https should
get you a nice xml file wich can be used to resolve the variables used
in a hg pull cmd. (at least that's what I'd do to start) - I do
something like that to get build automation to talk to the bug
tracking system (keeps QA happy with reports like build X contains
THIS list of bug fixes as described in THIS list of changelist
description, which contains THIS list of affected files, which was
checked in by THIS user, and reviewd by etc
But, please let me know if I got the requirement all wrong, and I'll
be happy to suggest another approach.
For the diff requirement: I would definitely start fro the bottom up.
This is what I do currently do with Perforce (logic should be
similar).
1) I generate an XML representation of a directory structure (where I
need to be able to specify any folder within my dir structure as the
root folder (the starting point), and need to be able to exclude
files and/folders as params to the function call.
2) once I have my xml object (I like a well structured Element Tree
for this type of thing), I will simply pass the elements (in a loop)
to a function that will have the know-how to return a correct mapping
between repository and workspace (i think Mercurial calls this the
Working Directory).
3) diff the file, capture the diff (if any) store it (keeping the the
return strings in order is important, so I keep each return values as
a dictionary within warm brackets of a collection that respects order
(like a deque()).
once done and have gone through the the complete fileset, then it just
depends on how fancy we want to be (color, special indentation, format
to 2 pages, etc..._) or the complete returned values can be formatted
and handed to araxis (or something like that)...
in the .hg word, its a little more convoluted in that I believe
another repository needs to be created and changes pulled from the
from the revision you are interested in (can be any revision or
latest but it does need to be specified. Would look something like
this:
mkdir myTempDir
cd myTempDir
hg init
hg pull myTempDir
hg update -r N
then do that recursive diff as discussed above
is this what you were looking for?

[web2py] list:string thoughts
I'm getting frustrated with the list:string field type.
I store products, each product has keywords that describe the
product.
db.define_table('products',
Field('keywords', 'list:string'))
I don't know what the keywords will be, so I can't use IS_IN_SET()
It seems to stores the keywords fine, as long as (I'm using Crud)
I separate the keywords like this: green|blue|red
But when I make this call
rows = db(db.products.keywords.contains(keyword)).select()
I don't get all the products back that I should! In fact, it seems
that I need to do an update on the product (again using Crud,
and any sort of update) before the product's keywords will be
picked up.
Is this a problem with using Crud?
In all honesty, I'd be more comfortable not using list:string, and
having a separate table keywords that linked (many-to-one)
to the products table, but I really don't know how I would even
begin to do that in web2py..
Thanks for reading!

Update: if the function has no arguments, it works. I.e. http://domain.com/app/default/f gets mapped correctly to http://domain.com/f But if the function has arguments, it did not work for me. I.e http://domain.com/app/default/g/a/b does not get mapped to http://domain.com/g/a/b PS: I got the script from here: http://web2py.googlecode.com/hg/scripts/autoroutes.py as far as I can tell, it's the same as the one in this this thread.
[web2py] Re: list:string thoughts
The list:string is not an alternative to using a tag table and
tag_link many-to-many (an example of which is provided by
plugin_tagging).
Yet you should not have the problem you experience. With recent
versions of web2py, Field('keywords', 'list:string') should be
rendered by a new widget that takes one keyword per line and adds new
lines when yo press enter. You should not be using '|' to separate
keywords. If you do all keywords will be interpreted as one long
keyword containing the '|'s.

I'm getting frustrated with the list:string field type.
I store products, each product has keywords that describe the
product.
db.define_table('products',
Field('keywords', 'list:string'))
I don't know what the keywords will be, so I can't use IS_IN_SET()
It seems to stores the keywords fine, as long as (I'm using Crud)
I separate the keywords like this: green|blue|red
But when I make this call
rows = db(db.products.keywords.contains(keyword)).select()
I don't get all the products back that I should! In fact, it seems
that I need to do an update on the product (again using Crud,
and any sort of update) before the product's keywords will be
picked up.
Is this a problem with using Crud?
In all honesty, I'd be more comfortable not using list:string, and
having a separate table keywords that linked (many-to-one)
to the products table, but I really don't know how I would even
begin to do that in web2py..
Thanks for reading!

k, items 1 and 2 should be simple enough item 3, that is a different story, but ok, sure. I think merging outside of the mercurial context is best though, then simply update the remote repository with the merged file (and include good notes describing both source files and capturing the diffs of the merge is best).

[web2py] Hidden form fields not accepted by form.accept()?
Hi all, I have created a manual HTML form (not FORM() or SQLFORM()) that has a few hidden fields (ie. input type=hidden..) When this form posts back to the controller, form.accepts() returns True, but only the non-hidden field (there is only one, the rest are hidden) is saved to the database. The other fields all get saved as NULL. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks

Apologies, I wasn't clear. I meant that the form in the view is static HTML and not generated by SQLFORM. However, in the action that receives the POST, I instantiate a new SQLFORM for that model and pass request.post_vars to it.

[web2py] Re: Hidden form fields not accepted by form.accept()?
The hidden fields will be in request.vars but not in form.vars because accepts does not know they are supposed to be there and protects you from injection attacks.

Yes, the hidden input values do seem to appear in request.post_vars.
