A skilled debater could successfully argue that the earth is flat.

I would much more strongly recommend that you two build a smaller-type
app in both Django and web2py, and get a taste for what the actual
experience is like.  Doing it far exceeds talking about it, in pretty
much every metric save time.

[web2py] web2py on IIS7.5, Windows Server 2008.

[Panupat]

A couple question.

Running web2py on Windows Server 2008 R2, IIS7.5. Following the
official online book I got the site working with 127.0.0.1:8000. But I
want to add the website to IIS service so I can access it with
subdomain.mydomain.com (got other sites running this way already)

1. IIS requires me to point to the root directory of the website. For
web2py, which directory should I point it to?

2. Will I need to create a URL rewrite rule? Are there any tutorial
explaining how to do this?

3. The online book mentioned "options.py" but I don't seem to have
that file anywhere in my web2py directory

[web2py] Re: Django vs web2py pain points

[Dane]

In my opinion, the only advantages Django has are its admin interface
and the perks of a bigger and more established community, including
more stable documentation, better results when you google, a big
community on stack overflow, more name recognition (people won't
hesitate to let you do their project in Django because they've heard
of it, you have to convince them with web2py).

Some of these things have a fairly big impact, but overall web2py is
much simpler, more powerful, and gives you less headaches. If you're
willing to be more adventurous in terms of sifting through discussion
threads and google results and digging through the source instead of
usually finding a blog post that explains what you need to do, you
definitely get a major reward for working with web2py. Once you find
out how to do something, it's almost always simple and elegant. It can
just be hard to find out about it.

As far as being ready for production, it's doing fine on my vps after
following a few simple tutorials. I don't know how it scales yet, but
I think Massimo knows his stuff as well as the Django crew. And
doesn't choosing Python in the first place indicate priorities other
than raw speed? Developer productivity is a much more important factor
for the vast majority of sites, even ones with potential to be fairly
popular.

[web2py] facebook insights

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?

You should find a file called 'options_std.py' in the web2py root directory 
(i.e., /web2py/options_std.py), not in your application directory. Copy it 
to 'options.py' and edit as needed.

[web2py] plugin_datatable

[Neveen Adel]

Hello,

 Am using to plugin_datatable and i want  to go to the update form
from  displayed table.
E.x:
The table display a list of records ,Is there a way on clicking on a
record the update form is displayed?

Is there a way to do that ? if not , is there any idea can lead me to
the target?

Another thing is there a way to display a set of columns not all
columns in the table?


Thanks in Advance

Re: [web2py] plugin_datatable

[Bruno Rocha]

It is all about JavasCRIPT.

To get selected row and perform an action i.e (javascript
window.location('') )
http://datatables.net/examples/api/select_single_row.html


To show/hide
columns
http://datatables.net/examples/api/show_hide.html

Mind that you can hide columns on the DAL select query.


in powerTable I put a variable 'selected' which triggers the selected row,
also in powerTable you can set the columns to display 'table.hiddencolumns =
['column1','column2']

[web2py] Model with 2 fields were one field is required

[grezly]

i have a table with 3 fields:

title
start
end

For some reason i want to have the following; the title has to be
filled in always, but for the start and end field belongs a rule to
the fields; only 1 of the two fields can be filledin, They also can't
be either empty or filled in.

It's up to the user which one of the 2 fields he wants to fill in,
none of them is more important than the other.

[web2py] Need help setting up a composite key

[Mark Hayes]

I'm new to web2py and can't seem to find out how to create a composite
key.  Specifically I'm trying to create the following tables:

db.define_table('volunteer',
Field('first_name', 'string', length=30, notnull=True),
Field('last_name', 'string', length=30, notnull=True),
Field('birthday', 'date', required=True),
Field('email', 'string', length=30))
db.define_table('opportunity',
Field('name', 'string', length=30, notnull=True))
db.define_table('interest',
Field('volunteer', db.volunteer),
Field('opportunity', db.opportunity))

In the 'interest' table I want to ensure that the combination of both
volunteer + opportunity is unique.  What is the best way to go about
doing this?  Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

[web2py] Routing service with query args

[Gabriel]

Hi, I have this json service:

app/default.py
...
@service.json
def create(model, fields):
  return dict(id=get_model_or_404(model).insert(**json.loads(fields)))

and I am trying to map this:

routes_in = (
  ('/service/$model/create', '/app/default/call/json/create?model=
$model'),
)

With this I'd want to do:

curl --data-urlencode 'fields={"name": "test"}' "http://localhost:8000/
app/person/create"

and in the create function get model="person" and in fields='{"name":
"test"}'
But it does not work, it is redirecting to default page.
In httpserver.log I get

127.0.0.1, 2011-02-06 20:41:12, POST, , HTTP/1.1, 200, 0.330055

If I do:
 curl --data-urlencode 'fields={"name": "test"}' "http://localhost:
8000/app/default/call/json/create?model=person"
it works, so I think the problem is the routing.

Any help about what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for advance.

[web2py] Re: Need help setting up a composite key

[dederocks]

Hi!
Check this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/caaf68de3fbc0baf/b9812b04ac70ba8b?lnk=gst&q=Multiple+constraint#b9812b04ac70ba8b

In summary, you want to create a computed combined field, and require
that it is unique. A bit odd, but that's what you need to be able to
have validators working at the DAL level. Otherwise, you can of course
add SQL-level combined indexes (but specific to the database
selected), which if not respected will generate an error instead of a
friendly validator message.

Re: [web2py] Updating computed fields

[Bruno Rocha]

I did it before, something like:

###

rows = db(db.table).select()

for row in rows:
row.update_record(mycomputedfield=lambda r:function(r))

###

where function(r) is the same function I used for the computed field.

Better to run this kind of thing using web2py Shell.

Re: [web2py] Updating computed fields

[Bruno Rocha]

I just found a better way, you can point to the defined function for
compute.


rows = db(db.table).select()

for row in rows:
row.update_record( mycomputedfield =
db.mytable.mycomputefield.compute(row) )

###

I made a test now

#

db.define_table('products',
Field('quantity',integer'),
Field('price','double'),
Field('total','double',compute =
r:r.quantity*r.price),
   )

rows = db(db.products).select()

for *row* in rows:
row.update_record(*total=db.products.total.compute(row)*)

###

Running web2py from shell you prevent webserver timeout if you are running
multiple records

can you print field.length before and field.length after this

[web2py] Re: Model with 2 fields were one field is required

[Massimo Di Pierro]

first of all start and end and sql keywords you should choose another
name.

I suggest

db.define_table('event',Field('title'),Field('start_time'),Field('end_time'))

def exclusive(form):
if form.vars.start_time and form.vars.end_time:
form.errors.end_time = 'you already filled start time')
elif not form.vars.start_time and not form.vars.end_time:
form.errors.estart_time = 'you must fill start time or end
time')

then use
form = crud.create(db.event,onvalidation=exclusive)
and/or
form = crud.update(db.event,id,onvalidation=exclusive)

[web2py] Security question: cookie manipulation & stealing cookies

[devGS]

I saw many explanations about web2py's built-in security, but does it
have some implemented security against cookie manipulation and
stealing cookies attacks? -For cases when the attacker is the user,
and when the attacker is not the user.  If not, can someone provide
some recommendations for a beginner on how to defend myself from those
vulnerabilities? Thanks.

[web2py] seems like a little mistake in book

[LightOfMooN]

auth.settings.long_expiration = 3600*30 # one month
maybe 3600*30*24?

[web2py] boolean in crud.read = Nice, what about crud.select

[Richard Vézina]

Hello,

I am happy to see that writeable false icons have been added for boolean
field in crud.read...

I am wondering to know if I should expected the same for crud.select??

Now I am having the unwriteable icons in crud.read, but not in crud.select

Thank you.

affirmative, this is the bug.

Is it as simple as 'app' in your incoming URL not matching 'service' in the

Hi Jonathan. It was a typo. It'd be service instead of app:

[web2py] Re: Redirect after GAE authorization.

[howesc]

i suspect there is, but i have not spent the time to make it work yet.  i 
assume you are using google accounts on GAE for authorization?

[web2py] Re: GAE Query

[howesc]

yes you have to set your GAE app on a subdomain.  but that is the *only* 
supported configuration that i know of.  google does not allow mapping of 
"naked domains" as they call it to a GAE app.

[web2py] Re: Few general questions

[howesc]

about the sample entries:  you must have some code (probably in one of your 
models files) that adds sample entries when an empty database is detected.  
not sure though without looking at the application.

your view error is provided in the traceback (though perhaps cryptic).  
something in index.html or one of the files it includes or extends is trying 
to access the 'replace' attribute of a variable that is None.  you may have 
the proper include/extend syntax but are not setting a required variable in 
the controller.

The URL rewrite logic isn't handling the case of appending a query string to 
the incoming URL properly.

I'm checking to see if this was broken recently, or if it's been broken for a 
while. What version are you running?

[web2py] Re: Django vs web2py pain points

[Luther Goh Lu Feng]

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I am happy to hear balanced view
points. For the record, we have decided to go along with django for
now, doing paired programming.

My current impression of django is that it does seem much more verbose
than web2py. I also miss the fact that I do not need to configure my
routes most of the time in web2py.

Hopefully I can post more when I get deeper into django.

Thanks. I've got a working patch that hopefully we'll have time to get into 
1.92.

In the current version, you'll need to avoid rewrites that add a query string; 
that's broken.

[web2py] Google Chrome 9 crashes

[Bernd Rothert]

Today all of a sudden Google Chrome (9.0.597.84-r72991) hung loading a
simple web2py page. It couldn't even render the welcome page any more. Even
a blank new profile didn't work. It just hung and reported a crashed web
page after a while (the sad dialog).

Then I tried chromium - same behaviour, even with a mirror copy of the
welcome page as "file:///...".

It turned out that modernizr-1.6.min.js caused the crash when trying to
detect WebGL support.

Bug report for chromium:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=69845

Bug report for modernizr:
https://github.com/Modernizr/Modernizr/issues/issue/156

It should help to disable WebGL in http://about:flags if this bug bites you.
You can also comment out the try...webgl... part in modernizr-1.6.js or just
remove modernizr from the layout.html. Its checks for WebGL  can be quite
expensive anyway and slow down page loading if you don't need it.

Funny: Trying to load http://www.modernizr.com/news/ fails in the same way
(Google Chrome 9.0.597.84-r72991).

Cheers
Bernd

[web2py] onaccept

[David J.]

Is there an example of how to use "onaccept" handler?

I tried

auth.settings.verify_email_onaccept = lambda f:_create_account(f)



def _create_account(f):
session.account  = f
return


I tried on my index page to display

{{= session.account }}

But I dont think it worked.

It's Chrome on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat)! Bug reports refer to

[web2py] Re: Overriding the Default "verify_email"

[mattynoce]

here's what i do:
in db.py:
auth.settings.verify_email_onaccept = lambda form: __afterVerify(form)
def __afterVerify(form):
# any custom actions you want, including calling funtions in
either the model or the controller
# in my case, i log in my user.
logInUser(db.auth_user[form.id])
auth.settings.verify_email_next = '/init/default/verified'


so i use __afterVerify to log in the user, then i send them to /init/
default/verified where i have all actions usable in a controller.

here's the login info, in case you want that too.

def __logInUser(user):
# function to log in a user. taken from
http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/84f27e0a06312da2/a3c48ec55d9ceb05?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=session+auth+user#a3c48ec55d9ceb05
from gluon.storage import Storage
session.auth = Storage(user=user, last_visit=request.now,

hope that helps,

[web2py] Trying to use a plugin_wiki page as default for a web2py site

[Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas]

Hash: SHA1

Hi all,

I'm trying to use plugin_wiki as my first approach to having a
functional web2py site and using it to publish easily some info. I tried
also Instant Press but it doesn't installed because a time out error a
got no feedback on the Spanish or English list and I would like to test
more plugin_wiki for a more techie approach to publishing in web2py even
making a blog on it (but I plan to go to Instant Press again for some
not technical inclined friends who I want to introduce to web2py).

Anyway I'm trying to make a page in plugin_wiki a default page when
people load the web2py powered site, so I modified the routes.example.py
naming it routes.py and restarted cherokee. My change was this:

- --->
default_application = 'welcome'# ordinarily set in base routes.py
default_controller = 'plugin_wiki'  # ordinarily set in app-specific
routes.py
default_function = 'page'   # ordinarily set in app-specific..
<---

and it shows the page for pages creation with all the created ones. If I
tryed adding parenthesis to "page" function, making it "page()" and it
shows a more specif message for page creation. When I tried
"page(test)", using a previously created "test" page, web2py send me an
error message of the form:

invalid function (plugin_wiki/page(test))

May be I'm understanding wrong about how to use routes.py or calling a
specific pages as an argument of page function. Any advice about how to
make a specific plugin_wiki default home page will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Offray

Is not true (bad memory). default_function = 'index', shows the form
with all the created pages and default_function = 'page' shows the more
specific message for a page creation. default_function = 'page()' gives
the same error message that trying with a specific page name. Also when
I tried default_funtion = 'page/test' for example.

Thanks,

Offray

[web2py] Question about 0.py

[devGS]

I saw that object 'settings' is defined at 0.py, but I didn't see any
usage of 'settings'. For instance, in db.py, instead of reusing the
0.py's 'settings', the stings are redefined, even though realize about
some modules that use 'settings' instead of db.py set variables. Can
this point be cleared please? Why is there mail.settings.XYZ = '...'
instead of 'mail.settings.XYZ = settings.XYZ'? Thanks.

[web2py] Database data in layout?

[pbreit]

How can I insert data from my controller to layout.html? From what I can 
tell, layout.html does not have access to the dict returned from a 
controller. Do I need to or can I put it in globals, response, flash?

It seems like a block could work except that it requires that the 
{{include}} be above the {{block}}?

[web2py] Re: Question about 0.py

[Massimo Di Pierro]

0.py is not a web2py file. It is created by the wizard. If a variable
is not used is a bug in the wizard.

[Lars Hansson]

But what exactly is his complaint? Would it have hurt for him to
actually, you know, explain?

It's a nice evidence, that Web2py does matter.

Otherwise the idiots won't care to bark against this splendid
technology.

Any ideas?

[pbreit]

Yet again, I am mistaken. It does indeed look like templates all get jammed 
together before the code is executed. I was getting some unexpected errors 
which caused me to wonder.
