[web2py] Re: get variables in view from other controller
It's that I need, with using [0][0]
Can you explain that are it means?
Does web2py return html like set of helpers?
is [0][0] the first container's content of returned set (first div's
content)?

But I can not use ajax too, because I need variables in template, but
not the rendered block.
(and I don't like that LOAD() loads components in new div, because it
may cause a problems with css and jquery)
As pbreit pointed out, if you don't want Ajax, you can use LOAD(...,
ajax=False), and web2py will insert the content on the server side before
delivering the page. In that case, I think the DIV that LOAD wraps around
the content is unnecessary (as long as ajax_trap is also False -- looks like
the DIV is used as the target for the Ajax response). Because LOAD is a
helper, you should be able to do some manipulation of it to remove the outer
DIV. So, maybe try something like this in your view:
{{=LOAD('mycontroller', 'options', ajax=False)[0][0]}}

[web2py] Validators for webservices?
Hi all I'm looking for a way to validate the record data I receive from a webservice. Because there is no form associated it seems that I cannot use SQLFORM and form.accepts(). Is there any other way to use the already defined validators to do the check? I'm searching for something like (untested): @service.jsonrpc def update(record): errors = validate(db.mytable, record) if errors: return dict(success=False, msg=', '.join(errors)) else: db(db.mytable.id == record.id).update(record) return dict(success=True) TIA - Marcel
[web2py] Re: Multiple forms grouped as one (django formset equivalent) with jquery plugin allowing clients to add and remove forms on the client-side
Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions. I realize Massimo must have like a million other things in his head right know and I don't hold it against him for not coming up with a recipe for this. :-) Again thank you Massimo for all the hard work you have put in to this great framework. As I mentioned on my first post I was evaluating web2py and Django to select which I would use for my project. I am sorry to say that I went the other way. At first web2py was looking more attractive and easy to learn and much more to my liking. I was convinced I would get things done faster and better than Django, but as I started digging deeper and deeper I realized this would not be the case. The main reasons for choosing Django are: * Better documentation * More mature * and just recently, a heck of a good IDE (PyCharm). [I hated having to write imports in every single file in django, with PyCharm its a bliss. ] Please don't get me wrong I am not trying to start a flame-war or anything. I still like web2py and I will continue to play with it. I even believe it helped me better understand some concepts about web programming in general. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[web2py] passing value to xml
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] hierarchical authorization
Hi everybody, I have the following problem: I need some kind of hierarchical authorization. This is a simplified model: Company C001...C500 Departement D01...D15 Group G01...G40 Person P01...P30 Not every company has 15 departements, not every departement has 40 groups and so on, but the whole program should work with up 200.000 persons. Now some authorizations: - Every person is allowed to change most of (but not all) of his personal data. - Some persons are allowed to change some data of the members of a specified group or some groups or a departement. - Some persons are allowed to send messages single persons or to the members of a group or some groups or a departement or a company. - Some persons are allowed to change all data of the members of a group or some groups or a departement or a company. - Some persons are allowed to do everything (including impersonate) with all data of the members of a whole departement or company. - ... and so on ... One person could be identified by a string field like C003:D03:G12:P15. I think I could use the authorization and the decoration of web2py to allow one person to modify data or to send messages. - But how could I use the authorization e.g. to modify only some data? - And if somebody is allowed to change some data he should only see these persons he is allowed to make modifications. A sql-statement where ident like 'C003:D03:G12:% could do the job. - But would it be fast enough for 200.000 persons? - Is there any way to use theauthentization mechanism for this problem?

The old template parse was more forgiving when it comes to invalid

[web2py] Re: Validators for webservices?
Massimo's method may be better -- I haven't personally experimented with the
restful stuff yet.
But you can still use SQLFORM or SQLFORM.factory with form.accepts() to run
the validators. You just don't display the form anywhere if you don't need
to. You also need to pass formname=None to accepts(). Doing this,
form.accepts() will run your values through the validators, transform them
as needed, and populate form.errors based on the GET and POST variables
provided by whatever is calling your web service.
Here's a simple example I cobbled together that adds two numbers. Example
use: http://localhost:8000/app/controller/add?val1=3.14val2=2.718
def add():
form = SQLFORM.factory(
Field('val1', 'double', requires=IS_FLOAT_IN_RANGE(0, 10)),
Field('val2', 'double', requires=IS_FLOAT_IN_RANGE(0, 10))
)
if form.accepts(request.vars, formname=None):
return form.vars.val1 + form.vars.val2
else:
errors = Errors:\n
for fieldname in form.errors:
errors += %s: %s\n % (fieldname, form.errors[fieldname])
raise HTTP(400, errors)
Cheers,

Please, How i can fix the previous two issues?
Thanks in Advance
[web2py] Re: web2py Issues
Hi Neveen,
Without a bit more context I'm having trouble determining the problem. In
principle you should be able to pass vars=request.vars to URL and have them
show up in the redirected URL. For example:
def func1():
if request.vars.value == hello:
return you submitted hello
else:
redirect(URL('func2', vars=request.vars))
def func2():
return BEAUTIFY(request.vars)
If you go to /app/controller/func1?name=Bob you will be redirected
to /app/controller/func1?name=Bob, and request.vars will include a
.name='Bob' attribute.
If you go to /app/controller/func2?name=Bobvalue=hello you'll stay at
func1 and see you submitted hello.
Try starting with that example, verifying that it works for you, and then
extending it to do what you need.
If you could describe a little more about what you are trying to do, and/or
include a bit more of the code you're working with, I might be able to
provide more help. There may be a better way to do this already built in to
web2py.

[web2py] Converting legacy MySQL databases to web2py DAL
Hi folks,
Today I made some enhancements to the web2py/scripts/extract_mysql_models.py
script that converts existing MySQL tables into a DAL representation. I've
attached a copy for anyone that might find it useful.
The major changes are as follows:
- I got rid of the dependencies on the external mysql and mysqldump
executables and now use MySQLdb directly. This simplifies the parsing a lot
and makes the tool a little more self-contained. (Linux users probably have
the mysql command line tools installed, but Windows users may not -- at
least not in the PATH)
- If your id column does not have the default id name, the script looks
for an AUTO INCREMENT column and marks that with type id instead.
- If you have a COMMENT specified in your MySQL table, it is added as a
Python comment to the Field line
- You are no longer restricted to localhost - you can read tables form
remote databases
- There are several new command line options, such as:
--dalname (specify the variable name used for the DAL; e.g. [var] =
DAL(...); [var].define_table(...))
--colcomments (add a comment to the end of each Field line showing the
original column specification from CREATE TABLE... useful for nothing things
like default values, original datatype, etc.)
--commentalign (aligns comments to some number of spaces in the generated
text)
--notnull (detects NOT NULL and adds notnull=True to Field)
--singlemigrate (use a single migrate=False in DAL() rather than in each
define_table())
--verbose (adds logging to stderr so that if it crashes, you have a
chance of figuring out which table failed)
You can see the full usage by running the script without any arguments.
Example use:
extract_mysql_models.py --user kevin --password secret --host example.com
--database mywiki --dalname wikidb --colcomments --singlemigrate mywiki.py
Generated output (only looks pretty with fixed-width formatting!):
wikidb = DAL('mysql://kevin:sec...@example.com/mywiki', migrate=False)
wikidb.define_table('comment',
Field('id', 'id'), # (`id` int(11) NOT NULL

There was a missing source line in 1.91.6 (and maybe others around the

If you are running from source you can fix it by adding:
self.options = options
to the __init__ part of the Recaptcha class.
Or upgrade to a newer version.

[web2py] layouts and =include
Hi,
I've just started to learning Web2py and I've found something strange for
me. Could you please let me know if its me doing something wrong or its a
Web2py limitation?
I have some view (lets say: index.html) extending layout.html. But in
layout.html I use include 'layout_body.html'. Now the problem: if I put
{{include}} in the layout_body.html instead of layout.html it's not working.
The structure looks like:
index.html -- (extend) layout.html -- (include 'layout_body.html)
layout_body.html -- {{include}}
The final {{include}} is not executed...
In other words it seems that the {{include}} works only if put in the root
of the layout tree that is directly extended...
Let me know please if its known limitation or I am doing something wrong.
It's not a problem anyway - I can live without such functionality ;) however
it's 'nice to have' and I dont see any reason for such limits..
thanks alot!
Adam
[web2py] Re: layouts and =include
Hi kyrussa,
Try the following:

Begin main layout
{{include}}
End main layout
layout_body.html:
{{extend layout.html}}
Begin layout body
{{include}}
End layout body
mypage.html
{{extend layout_body.html}}
This is my content
When you render mypage, you should get:
Begin main layout
Begin layout body
This is my content
End layout body
End main layout
Hope that helps!

[web2py] Alternative for annoying default javascript integer/double/decimal validtors
Hi all,
I find the default javascript validators for integer, double, and decimal
SQLFORM fields to be a little annoying. Consider the following surprising
behaviors:
- You can't navigate within the textbox using the keyboard. Pressing left,
right, home, or end all result in the cursor jumping back to the end of the
input
- You can't select text with ctrl-a or ctrl-shift-left/right
- If the user accidentally flubs the input (e.g. 2.u1828 instead of
2.71828), the offending character is silently removed and an incorrect value
may be submitted without warning.
I think a better alternative is to flag to the user that the input is wrong
rather than trying to correct it for them -- e.g. by changing the input
background color. The following is a sample implementation that does this:
-- in file web2py_ajax.html, replace the lines
jQuery('input.integer').live... and
jQuery('input.double,input.decimal').live... with:
jQuery('input.integer').live('keydown keyup', function(){
if (! this.value.match(/^[+-]?[0-9]*$/)) {
jQuery(this).addClass(w2p_inputerror);
}
else {
jQuery(this).removeClass(w2p_inputerror);
}
});
jQuery('input.double,input.decimal').live('keydown keyup', function(){
if (! this.value.match(/^[+-]?[0-9]*\.?[0-9]*$/)) {
jQuery(this).addClass(w2p_inputerror);
}
else {
jQuery(this).removeClass(w2p_inputerror);
}
});
-- in file base.css, add the following style:
input.w2p_inputerror {
background: #FF8;
}
A few notes:
1. The regexes used to validate numbers are intentionally naive. For
example. the double validator accepts +, -, +., and -., which are of
couse not valid numbers. However, suppose the user enters a value between -1
and 0. They are likely to start by typing -., and I don't think it's
polite to flash the textbox at them when they are about to enter a valid
number.
2. The double validator does not permit scientific notation - e.g. 1e6 for
1 million. Such notation is probably of limited use for most people, the old
validator rejected such values anyway, and I didn't feel like implementing
it :-)
3. The jquery events listen to both keyup and keydown. keyup is necessary
because the input.value has not yet been updated when keydown is fired. But
listening to keydown is useful if the user holds down the backspace key -
the background color will be reset as soon as the last offending character
has been deleted, rather than waiting for the user to release the backspace
key.
4. I used the class name w2p_inputerror in an attept to namespace this
somewhat web2py-specific class.
I hope some people find this to be useful. If other people have been annoyed
by the current default, perhaps we could open discussion to make this the
new default in web2py?
Cheers,
Kevin

[web2py] Re: layouts and =include
For another alternative which I think is more flexible, look at the
{{block}} syntax. This lets you define multiple sections that can be
overridden by an extending template. Example (untested):
-- layout.html
title{{block title}}My default title{{end}}/title
script
{{block scripts}}
{{end}}
/script
div
{{block content}}
{{end}}
/div
-- view.html
{{extend layout.html}}
{{block title}}My new title{{end}}
{{block scripts}}
function foo() { return 1; }}
{{end}}
{{block content}}
Hello world!
{{end}}
In this case, My default title would be replaced by My new title (but it
would remain My default title if you did not specify a title block in
view.html). The script and content values also get filled in as you would
expect.
Cheers,
Kevin
[web2py] Re: passing value to xml
To expand on DenesL's reply, from your controller you would access these
values in the following ways:
For http://example.com/app/controller/service.xml/somevalue you would use:
request.args(0) # returns somevalue, or None if nothing is provided
For http://example.com/app/controller/service.xml?key=somevalue you would
use:
request.vars.get('key') # returns somevalue, or None if a key is not
specified
Hope that helps,
Kevin
[web2py] Re: passing value to xml
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] XML manipulation
Hi All,
I would like to extract XML from a table and then manipulate it.
The process being something like this in horrible pseudo-code:
my table fields = id:1, name:Alan, price:5
xmldata = table.xml
transform xmldata, e.g.
xmldata.replace_element_name('name', 'newname')
xmldata.replace_element_value('price', '8')
return xmldata
Output: item id1/id newnameAlan/newname price8/price /
item
I call my controller in browser and receive my transformed XML
I guess it might use .xml and TAG for example. Has anyone got an
example of doing what I want? Maybe I have to use lxml or even
beautiful soup, but it seems that web2py already has all the
ingredients.

David

[web2py] Re: Validators for webservices?
Hi Kevin
Thanks for your input!
This is a valuable solution. But I would still need to add all my
already existing validators to SQLFORM.factory. Wouldn't I?
Therefore I tried Massimo's solution first.
Best regards,
Marcel
On 20 Mrz., 15:43, Kevin Ivarsen kivar...@gmail.com wrote:
Massimo's method may be better -- I haven't personally experimented with the
restful stuff yet.
But you can still use SQLFORM or SQLFORM.factory with form.accepts() to run
the validators. You just don't display the form anywhere if you don't need
to. You also need to pass formname=None to accepts(). Doing this,
form.accepts() will run your values through the validators, transform them
as needed, and populate form.errors based on the GET and POST variables
provided by whatever is calling your web service.
Here's a simple example I cobbled together that adds two numbers. Example
use:http://localhost:8000/app/controller/add?val1=3.14val2=2.718
def add():
form = SQLFORM.factory(
Field('val1', 'double', requires=IS_FLOAT_IN_RANGE(0, 10)),
Field('val2', 'double', requires=IS_FLOAT_IN_RANGE(0, 10))
)
if form.accepts(request.vars, formname=None):
return form.vars.val1 + form.vars.val2
else:
errors = Errors:\n
for fieldname in form.errors:
errors += %s: %s\n % (fieldname, form.errors[fieldname])
raise HTTP(400, errors)

[web2py] Re: XML manipulation
I use lots of XML to drive automation, file system structure, validation, user initial input, etc, so pretty much everywhere I make use of xml. much of the data (that may be user or project specific) is submitted as XML, then use that to populate tables (which BTW - I found lately to be a great way to share data between module [something that looks like a properties object]). I also frequently generate and/ or convert chunks of xml to dictionary objects (wrapper to make a dictionary behave like an object - looks like web2py's storage) so I can run through data by doing a.b.c.d (which I find very useful at times). These are some of the ways where I use xml on daily basis. So my use of it in a web2py context goes more towards DAL stand-alone than in a 'over the web' context, but you're welcome to anything I have if interested. I have lots of code and can probably make samples depending on what you need, - I mostly stick to etree (maybe just a preference), because I like that I can reset .root anywhere i like and can easily group similar items).

Re: [web2py] Re: How to build windows binary yourself?
Thanks Praneeth, looks like what your script builds what I've got going produce pretty much the same output (once I comment out the few extra modules you've got that I don't). 1) I notice you're using shutil to just copy the applications directory rather than passing the correct tuples to data_files - that's probably an easier approach. 2) The data_files declaration you do have is missing splashlogo.gif, so the TK gui will not work. 3) You're not including routes.example.py, router.example.py or options_std.py probably not a major issue. 4) You're also including a bunch of API-MS-WIN-CORE-*.dll files which probably shouldn't be distributed with the app. Perhaps some extra shutil calls at the end to remove them? Relating back to my original reason for starting this task - it looks like you don't need to do anything special to get pyodbc included - as long as you've got it installed it seems to get included in the binary distribution.

I think this is creating the problem: {{end = len(list)}}
This is to be considered in a bug in the template parser. I think I

Meanwhile if you choose to stable, you can remove the spaces

Attached are the files that need to be placed in the web2py root directory. To create the source distribution: python setup.py sdist To install from the source distribution (After running the above command and using the sdist that it creates): python setup.py install After installing in your python env or virtualenv: To create a new web2py application directory: mkweb2pyenv path_to_project_dir To run web2py from a directory: runweb2py path_to_project_dir I hope this makes its way to web2py Trunk.

[web2py] Re: hierarchical authorization
Isn't this a perfect example of a place to use web2py with LDAP? -- Joe On Mar 20, 5:22 am, Martin Weissenboeck mweis...@gmail.com wrote: Hi everybody, I have the following problem: I need some kind of hierarchical authorization. This is a simplified model: Company C001...C500 Departement D01...D15 Group G01...G40 Person P01...P30 Not every company has 15 departements, not every departement has 40 groups and so on, but the whole program should work with up 200.000 persons. Now some authorizations: - Every person is allowed to change most of (but not all) of his personal data. - Some persons are allowed to change some data of the members of a specified group or some groups or a departement. - Some persons are allowed to send messages single persons or to the members of a group or some groups or a departement or a company. - Some persons are allowed to change all data of the members of a group or some groups or a departement or a company. - Some persons are allowed to do everything (including impersonate) with all data of the members of a whole departement or company. - ... and so on ... One person could be identified by a string field like C003:D03:G12:P15. I think I could use the authorization and the decoration of web2py to allow one person to modify data or to send messages. - But how could I use the authorization e.g. to modify only some data? - And if somebody is allowed to change some data he should only see these persons he is allowed to make modifications. A sql-statement where ident like 'C003:D03:G12:% could do the job. - But would it be fast enough for 200.000 persons? - Is there any way to use theauthentization mechanism for this problem?

Re: [web2py] Re: hierarchical authorization
Thank you for this hint. I do not have any experience with LDAP but of course it would be an interesting callenge to learn more. 2011/3/21 Joe Barnhart joe.barnh...@gmail.com Isn't this a perfect example of a place to use web2py with LDAP? -- Joe On Mar 20, 5:22 am, Martin Weissenboeck mweis...@gmail.com wrote: Hi everybody, I have the following problem: I need some kind of hierarchical authorization.
