[web2py] How do I do complex validation?
Is there a way in the model file to set a bit more complex set-ups? It is in the book? For examples I have: user_role.id http://127.0.0.1:8000/InterestID3/appadmin/select/db?orderby=user_role.id user_role.user_id http://127.0.0.1:8000/InterestID3/appadmin/select/db?orderby=user_role.user_id user_role.role_id http://127.0.0.1:8000/InterestID3/appadmin/select/db?orderby=user_role.role_id user_role.conference_id http://127.0.0.1:8000/InterestID3/appadmin/select/db?orderby=user_role.conference_id user_role.checked_in http://127.0.0.1:8000/InterestID3/appadmin/select/db?orderby=user_role.checked_in and I want to make sure that there is no user_id and conference_id duplicatants. --- Best Regards, Jason Brower
[web2py] Type of computed fields.
Hi, I'm using Version 1.91.6 (2011-01-03 17:55:14) and I'm find this
behaviour with computed fields.
Is correct, is the type of a computed field always a string?
Example:
*Define a table with a computed field:*
db.define_table('entries',
Field http://127.0.0.1:8080/examples/global/vars/Field('f1', 'integer'),
Field http://127.0.0.1:8080/examples/global/vars/Field('f2', 'integer'),
Field http://127.0.0.1:8080/examples/global/vars/Field('f3', 'integer',
compute=lambda r: r['f1'] * r['f2']))
*Insert some data:*
db.entries.insert(f1=9, f2=8)
*Show data and type:*
for r in db(db.entries).select():
... print r.f1, type(r.f1)
... print r.f2, type(r.f2)
... print r.f3, type(r.f3)
...
9 type 'int'
8 type 'int'
72 type 'str'

[web2py] Translation of error_messages for IS_INT_IN_RANGE and similar classes
Some weeks ago there has been a discussion about this problem, but I did not
find any solution in the new version 1.93.2
Therefore: may I repeat a proposal?
From the description of /gluon/validators.py:
Built-in validators have constructors that take the optional argument
error
message which allows you to change the default error message.
Here is an example of a validator on a database table::
db.person.name.requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(error_message=T('fill this'))
where we have used the translation operator T to allow for
internationalization.
Notice that default error messages are not translated.
This solution is not very beautiful, because I have to repeat the string 'fill
this', but it works.
*It does not work for classes like IS_INT_IN_RANGE,* because there is a lot
of error messages, depending on the values:
if minimum is None:
if maximum is None:
self.error_message = error_message or 'enter an integer'
else:
self.maximum = int(maximum)
if error_message is None:
error_message = 'enter an integer less than or equal to
%(max)g'
self.error_message = error_message %
dict(max=self.maximum-1)
elif maximum is None:
self.minimum = int(minimum)
if error_message is None:
error_message = 'enter an integer greater than or equal to
%(min)g'
self.error_message = error_message % dict(min=self.minimum)
else:
self.minimum = int(minimum)
self.maximum = int(maximum)
if error_message is None:
error_message = 'enter an integer between %(min)g and
%(max)g'
self.error_message = error_message % dict(min=self.minimum,
max=self.maximum-1)
Using the T-operator there is no way to translate these error message for
example to German.
And I think it looks very unprofessional to have mixes English and German
messages.
My proposal:
I have changed the following lines (file validators.py, class
IS_INT_IN_RANGE)
def __init__(
self,
minimum=None,
maximum=None,
error_message=None,
*T=lambda x:x, # One additional parameter with a default value*
):
self.minimum = self.maximum = None
if minimum is None:
if maximum is None:
self.error_message = error_message or *T('enter an integer')
*
else:
self.maximum = int(maximum)
if error_message is None:
error_message = *T('enter an integer less than or equal
to %(max)g')*
self.error_message = error_message %
dict(max=self.maximum-1)
elif maximum is None:
self.minimum = int(minimum)
if error_message is None:
error_message = *T('enter an integer greater than or equal
to %(min)g')*
self.error_message = error_message % dict(min=self.minimum)
else:
self.minimum = int(minimum)
self.maximum = int(maximum)
if error_message is None:
error_message = *T('enter an integer between %(min)g and
%(max)g')*
self.error_message = error_message % dict(min=self.minimum,
max=self.maximum-1)
And I have used it in the following way:
Field('number', type='integer',
requires=IS_INT_IN_RANGE(2,5,*T=T*), label=T('number')),
Now every error message can be translated using the usual way.
Advantages:
- It is not necessary to repeat error messages as in
IS_NOT_EMPTY(error_message=T('fill
this'))
(remember: Dont repeat yourself)
- It's full compatible with current programs.
- Every nested error message could be translated.
Disadvantage:
- To use this feature there has to be an additional parameter on calling
the constructor,
e.g. requires=IS_INT_IN_RANGE(2,5,*T=T*)
But without this parameter it works like the current version.
Are there any other disadvantages in my solution? Or is there any other
solution?
Of course, every class in validators.py should be changed in this way.
Maybe this solution would be useful for the file tools.py too?

Right now we have two rules, and it's hard to explain why.
{{=abc

{{abc = 123

That's a strange set of rules, if you ask me. And confusing, as we've already

[web2py] Vertical superfish menu doesn't work well, how about yours?
Hi there,
I stayed with web2py 1.79 for quite some time, and am now keeping up
with 1.92, oh, and latest 1.93. Lots of improvements. Wow.
One minor, minor problem so far. When I try to use the new superfish
menu system to produce a vertical menu, I found the menu can show up
BUT, the first level of sub-menu fully overlaps with the main menu.
That is not the same effect as in superfish official website
http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/#sample3
I examined 3 superfish css files but did not find any suspect. Anyone
who is interested to investigate please put following code into your

We'll have general support for translation in gluon fairly soon. In the meantime, using T in the constructor for IS_INT_IN_RANGE should work just fine. Is there some specific case that isn't working for you?

Leading spaces get stripped (between {{ and =), so that wasn't relevant (in

Hi Bernd Massimo,
Does the above patch ever go into trunk? I see no change in latest
source code, perhaps that's why the problem still exists in latest
web2py 1.93.2.
Background: The web2py book suggests that the default
SQLFORM.widgets.multiple.widget can be replaced with
SQLFORM.widgets.checkboxes.widget for list:reference fields. I tried
it
but the checkboxes did not show any check marks (because of the int/
string
mismatch according to Bernd).

In the change log page http://www.web2py.com/examples/default/changelog the version should be 1.93.1-2 instead 1.63.1-2 i guess. btw I think the last changes should be shown first so I dont have to scrolldown all the page :P

[web2py] Re: Vertical superfish menu doesn't work well, how about yours?
Hello Iceberg,I had the same issue just few hours ago, the problem is
that superfish-vertical.css is applied before superfish.css when you
use response.files.append() and overwrites some css styles.
One solution could be editing the /view/layout.html adding the
superfish-vertical.css after. In 43 line
{{#-- require CSS and JS files for this page (read info in
base.css) --}}
{{response.files.append(URL('static','css/base.css'))}}
{{response.files.append(URL('static','css/superfish.css'))}}
{{response.files.append(URL('static','css/superfish-
vertical.css'))}}
{{response.files.append(URL('static','js/superfish.js'))}}
{{#-- include web2py specific js code (jquery, calendar, form
stuff) --}}
Remember delete
response.files.append(URL(request.application,'static','css/
superfish-vertical.css')) from your controller.
Tested and works fine.
[web2py] Hiding default error messages, Part 2
Hi all,
I recently had to deal with a very similar situation to:
http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/ad5a9494c4bb06fb/f88a913ee7514197?lnk=gstq=custom+forms#f88a913ee7514197
--
The original message:
I still seem to be missing something. Must be obvious but I can't see
it.
I use the example code you showed, and the errors dict shows the
values and
form.errors is now an empty dict, but the error messages still get
displayed
in the old manner without me doing anything. It's as if the error
messages
are displayed from somewhere else, but I can't see where.
I put this line of code towards the top of my view:--
{{(errors,form.errors)=(form.errors,dict())}}
Then I display errors and form.errors to make sure they have what I
expect.
Form.errors is empty. Now I would expect not to see any errror
messages
unless I place them myself. Unfortunately, they still appear in the
old
position as though I had made no changes.
What have I overlooked.
John Aherne
--
After some poking around, I found the bit of code that renders the
error message, even on custom controls.
You can disable the error message attached to individual controls by
writing the following code:
{{form.custom.widget.name_of_widget['hideerror'] = True}}
If you want to remove all the error messages without prejudice, you
can do the following:
for widget in form.custom.widget:
try:
form.custom.widget[widget]['hideerror'] = True
except:
pass
I believe there's a setting to do this globally (crud.hide_errors or
something?) but I haven't needed it yet. If someone needs it I'd be
happy to point them in the right direction.
Unfortunately I'm a year past the original message, but perhaps this
will be useful to someone.

I'll create some more unit tests to expose the current behavior and then remove

In the meantime, the workaround is to observe this rule: if a code block begins

be on one line. Example:
{{ =this }}
{{ =but not

One exception: I assume (and will test) that this is OK:

[web2py] error when insert record in appadmin
Hi all,
I have a strange behaviour in appadmin trying to insert a record. It
happens with all my tables except for auth's (auth_user, auth_group,
etc). This is the error message:
class 'pyodbc.ProgrammingError'(('42000', [42000] [Microsoft][ODBC
SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near ')'. (102)
(SQLExecDirectW)))
I tried to understand the ticket created and could find this at
gluon\dal.py in insert at line 717:
locals
query : 'INSERT INTO my_table() VALUES ();'
Does it means it created an empty query?
I'm on win7, python 2.6, web2py 1.92.1 from sources.
Thanks in advance,

[web2py] web2py applications and apache vhosts
Hello guys, I know that this question has been posted a couple of times in this group but it seems that there is no answer yet... I have web2py installed with apache via wsgi. Everything works fine. Instead of having multiple web2py instances, I want each domain to point to a different application inside the same web2py instance. For example domain1.com will be app1, domain2.com will be app2 etc. I know that this can be done with routes, but If someone has many applications (performance-wise) it is better to be done with apache's virtual hosts. So, can anyone please provide an example apache config script? Thank you.

Re: [web2py] explanation of corrections in version 1.93.2
Ovidio,
Para definir writable e readable fazemos o seguinte:
db.define_table('tabela',
Field('nome'),
Field('idade'))
db.tabela.nome.writable=db.tabela.nome.readable = False
O Massimo falou que estava cansado de ter que escrever toda vez writable...
readable
Então ele criou essa estrutura:
Field(':hidden'), Field('.readonly'), Field('name=value')
Na tabela que defini acima, fica da seguinte forma:
Field(':nome') é o mesmo que: Field('nome', writable=False, readable=False)
Field('.nome') é o mesmo que: Field('nome', writable=False, readable=True)
Field('nome=Bruno') é o mesmo que Field('nome', default='Bruno')
Field(':nome=Bruno') é o mesmo que Field('nome', default='Bruno',
writable=False)
Espero que tenha ajudado em algo...

[web2py] Re: How to make a simple counter
Wow, hard to say but you definitely have some problems. For example, the
typo in visits.viist(+=1). Are you getting error messages or is it just
not doing what you want?
Something like this perhaps? This code only adds one line to what is shown
in the Book: image.update_record(visits=image.visits + 1). One thing to do
is only make one db.table call per controller. You usually only need to
access the database once per table. And in this case, you only need to do an
image.update_record to increment the visits.
def show():
image = db.image(request.args(0)) or redirect(URL('index'))
db.comment.image_id.default = image.id
form = crud.create(db.comment,
message='your comment is posted',
next=URL(args=image.id))
comments = db(db.comment.image_id==image.id).select()
image.update_record(visits=image.visits + 1)
return dict(image=image, comments=comments, form=form)
=== show.html ===
...

[web2py] boolean type in MySQL: CHAR(1) vs TINYINT(1)
I'm connecting to a legacy MySQL database (migrate=False) with a lot of fields declared BOOLEAN, and noticed that attempts to modify these fields with the DAL failed. The DAL issues a query like this: UPDATE sometable SET someflag='T' WHERE ... but this gets rejected by MySQL. Reading through dal.py, I see that the boolean type maps to CHAR(1) in MySQLAdapter, and represent() converts to T and F values. However, the BOOLEAN type is a synonym for TINYINT(1) in MySQL, with values 0 or 1, according to: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/numeric-type-overview.html I can trivially change this behavior in dal.py for my purposes, but it would be interested to try to incorporate this into the main web2py distribution. Unfortunately, the trivial change will break backwards compatibility for people who are already depending on the current behavior. Any thoughts on how this could be done in a backwards- compatible way, or is it too much of an edge case to worry about? Cheers, Kevin

Re: [web2py] Translation of error_messages for IS_INT_IN_RANGE and similar classes
Ok, compatibility is a reason I understand.
You are right: if I make a decision, which error message would be
appropriate for each single field it works fine.
If there is a lot of fields with IS_INT_IN_RANGE requirements like T('enter
an integer between %(min)g and %(max)g') I will use an additional variable,
e.g.:
mm=T('enter an integer between %(min)g and %(max)g')
db.pet.legs.requires=IS_INT_IN_RANGE(0,9,mm)

general support for translation in gluon fairly soon.
In the meantime, using T in the constructor for IS_INT_IN_RANGE should work
just fine. Is there some specific case that isn't working for you?
