[web2py] Re: Required password

On a second thought... I think you want

db.auth_user.requires=[IS_NOT_EMPTY(),CRYPT(auth.settings.hmac_key)]

I think you want notnull=True not required=True.

[web2py] Re: {{=response.toolbar()}}

[Massimo Di Pierro]

We can make this better in two ways...

1) make it display its own stylesheet and display as a slide-in/out
panel.
2) have it read the options.profiler file and extract all the profiler
info

1) requires simply a good css designer.
2) requires a little more work to parse the profiler log and extract
the corresponding entry.

[web2py] Required password

[Dmitriy]

Hi,

How I can make required password field in auth_user?
Adding the 'required = True,' doesn't works.

Field('password', type='password', required = True,  readable=False,
label=T('Password')),

I use web2py 1.95.1, sqlite on Windows.

Thanks a lot,
Dmitriy

[web2py] Re: experimental... .pdf

[Massimo Di Pierro]

In trunk, web2py tries to use markmin2pdflatex is installed. If not it
uses pyfpdf. pyfpdf fails on some html, for example if table do not
follow the pyfpdf specs. I believe Marino is working on making pyfpdf
more forgiving.

[web2py] Re: misbehaves on a view of a controller with arguments

[Luis Goncalves]

Thanks!

I was confused, but the URL doc makes it clear that there are applications, 
controllers, functions, arguments, and variables.

Thx,
L.

[web2py] Re: misbehaves on a view of a controller with arguments

[pbreit]

I think that's correct behavior. The browser interprets AAA as part of the 
path, not an arg, and puts my_control.html at the end of the path.

It's always a good idea to use URL() helper. ie: 


c= and f= are optional.

Also, my_control is better called a function.

[web2py] Re: misbehaves on a view of a controller with arguments

[Luis Goncalves]

I figured it out ...  

.. use the powerful URL()  helper function!

sorry for the 'spam'
L.

[web2py] misbehaves on a view of a controller with arguments

[Luis Goncalves]

Hello!

I have a  controller,  my_control(),  that can be called by itself,  or with 
two  arguments ,   ../default/my_control/AAA  or  .../BBB

In the associated view, my_control.html, I have some  href links that call a 
new controller:

  Compute Value


If I was on the URL   
   .../default/my_control

  this works fine, because the href  becomes  
   .../default/compute_value?id=9

but if instead I am on the URL
   ../default/my_control/AAA

  then the href breaks, because it becomes
   .../default/AAA/compute_value?id=9

That is, it seems thatonly replaces the very last element 
from the URL


Is there a better way to generate a URL to my controller, irrespective of 
what page (with or without arguments)  I am on?

Thanks!!!

Luis.

[web2py] {{=response.toolbar()}}

[Massimo Di Pierro]

This is in trunk. Give it a try:

{{=response.toolbar()}}

display request,response, session and db stats.

[web2py] Default user.html

[Dwayne Blind]

Hi,

The following lines are usual :


{{=form}}
{{if request.args(0)=='login':}}
{{if not 'register' in auth.settings.actions_disabled:}}   # CONDITION
N°1
register
{{pass}}
{{if not 'request_reset_password' in
auth.settings.actions_disabled:}} # CONDITION N°2
lost
password
{{pass}}
{{pass}}


The links "register" and "lost password" appear conditionally on the
conditions 1 and 2. Can somebody explain these conditions to me ? I
have the impression that these links always appear :)

Thanks a lot,
Dwayne

Re: [web2py] Re: LOAD: ajax_trap errors...

[howesc]

Sebastian,

I agree with your views completely!  i *never* use anything but stable 
releases with my clients, but sometimes when i have issues i get help and 
fixes from the maintainers much more quickly if i can test their fixes in 
trunk.  Help us out (if you can) and confirm that the fix is in trunk and 
will be ready for you with the next stable release.

thanks,

GAE restricts outbound connections except using GAE api, so I doubt

it will be unable to maintain state.

[web2py] Re: GAE and MySQL

[ra3don]

I think this should be possible.

You would just have to do:
mysql://username:password@IP_OF_MYSQL_SERVER/DB_NAME

I'd also imagine you would have to allow remote users in your MySQL
database. If i'm not mistaken, the default is to allow only local
users in, you will have to try your luck.

If you have access to the server, then you should be able to edit: /
etc/mysql/my.cnf to allow in remote users.

Good Luck. Let me know what happens!

[mattgorecki]

In your db_action() controller, rather than doing a return() at the
end, you could just redirect like so:

redirect(request.env.http_referer)

Yes, I can confirm that I can get my app to work using id only and

[web2py] How do I get a controller to return back to the page that calls it (when it can be called by many pages)?

[Luis Goncalves]

Hello All!

There is a database action that I want to do in several views.

Right now, I have it implemented as a link in each view as

 Toggle Status


How do I get my db_action()  controller to return back to the page
with the link that called it?

Is there a way to cause the browser to do the equivalent of the "back"
button?

Something like:

 response.view = find_the_controller(request.env.http_referer)
 return dict()

won't work because I'm not returning the proper dictionary for the
referring controller.

Maybe something like:

 dict_from_referring_controller =
run_referring_controller( request.env.http_referer )
 # ? do I have to define the response view?
 return dict_from_referring_controller



Perhaps the nicest/cleanest implementation would be with AJAX/JQuery,
but I haven't learned that yet.

Is there a way to do it with  links?  Or is that super-bad
form?

Thanks!
Luis.

[web2py] Re: LOAD needs optional "_class" argument for its wrapper DIV [enhancement request]

[weheh]

It's possible that might work, although it seems kludgy. I like to use
id for naming things, not describing how they are to be displayed.
That's what I use class for.

LOAD produces a DIV, so it makes sense it should take a lot or all of
the same arguments as DIV, including _class.

[web2py] clarification of usage of auth

[apple]

I have added auth to my application using crud. However there are a
couple of areas where it does not act as I was expecting.

1) If I have change a permission from create to update then I now have
both permissions until I log off. I guess it has
cached the old permission somewhere. Is it possible to force any
changes to happen immediately?

2) If I have update permission it allows me to delete as well. Is it
possible to allow update but not delete? As I am using crud in the
application it is the same function for update and delete so it is not
possible to use a decorator nor to put a test within the code for
permissions.

[web2py] components with links inside components ?

[Sebastian E. Ovide]

Hi All,

Is anybody using components within components ?

I have a couple of components created as explained by the book. They uses
few links with the cid=request.cid options. One component contains another
component.  When I'm clicking on any of the inner components, the outer
components stop working.

I'm using ajax=True (until when the ajax_trap=False will be fixed) and the
latest stable version 1.95.1)

Is it working as expected ? any workaround ?

Thanks

[web2py] GROUP BY Date, Ignore Time

[Neodudeman]

Hi web2py; I've got some problems.
I'm attempting to get a count of some rows based on the date; but when
I attempt the grouping, it includes the time as well, giving me a
false count. (Since no two rows were created at the exact same second,
the count never goes above 1 per 'date')

Here's my current code:

count = db.posts.id.count()
set = db(db.posts.id).select(db.posts.posted_date, count,
groupby=db.posts.posted_date)

How can I change the groupby to ignore the time portion of the
posted_date?

[web2py] Re: Do I have to re-invent the wheel to display and manage messages between users on a website?

[Luis Goncalves]

Yes, I have something like that already.

But I also want a user to see all the messages he has sent/received
(as a list showing sender, date, and subject), and be able to view the
entire message and reply to it upon selecting one.

Not hard stuff, just would be nice to have something already done and
polished rather than hacking my way at it from zero ...

thanks,
Luis.

[web2py] Re: How do I modify the form on default/user/profile ?

[Luis Goncalves]

Hello Annet!

Your example helps a lot!  I'm not yet familiar enough with web2py/
python to realize that I could just extend the empty user() controller
(and I don't think I came across an example in the web2py book or the
online examples).

Since I already had my own my_profile() controller, what I did is,

def user():
...
if request.args(0)=='profile'
my_profile_dict = my_profile()
return my_profile_dict
...

I don't know if that's proper usage/style for python/web2py,  but it
works fine!!

Thanks!!!

Luis.

[web2py] Thursday, May 26...

[mart]

Hi,

On some days, things move really fast, which is a great thing!,
but...  also backtracking (going back and taking time go through them)
isn't so easy...  Does anyone have something to keep track of trunk
changes when, for example, Massimo submits multiple changes/features
in one day?

Last Thusrday, I think there were at least 3 of these new features,
and I only see 2. I remember thinking that are somehow related (kind
of - i think). Anyways, if someone already has something set up (a
table or something) with description, change number, paths, etc...),
would be nice to track these things...

Just thought I'd ask :)  Sometimes syncing the files affected by a
change we want to look at is easier to manage than grabbing everything
- at least, that's how I like to manage the ins and outs. But no
worry, I will come up with something if none already exists.

anyways, was think something simple that would link trunk to release:

TRUNK  |  RELEASE
___|___
title  |  title
___|___
submitted to 'REALEASE': T/F   |
___|___
submission number |   submission number

[web2py] Re: Paypal on Appengine

[pbreit]

The redirect URL is going to need to look something like this:

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&token=EC-1NK66318YB717835M
or
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&token=EC-1NK66318YB717835M&useraction=commit

I don't think you need all the escaping. Here what mine looks like:
if result['ACK'][0]=='Success':
token = result['TOKEN'][0]
url = 
'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&useraction=commit&token='
redirect('%s%s' % (url, token))

Yes, SUBJECT is optional. It specifies the email address of the seller's 
account. I like to include it to be explicit.

INVNUM is also optional and you need to be careful with it because in most 
cases PayPal enforces uniqueness on this value in your PayPal account.

[web2py] Aw: LOAD needs optional "_class" argument for its wrapper DIV [enhancement request]

[stephanl]

The LOAD function takes an target argument. I think, this does what you 
want.

from the book:
target is the id id the target DIV. If it is not specified a random target 
id is generated.

[web2py] LOAD needs optional "_class" argument for its wrapper DIV [enhancement request]

[weheh]

LOAD wraps the loaded contents with a div whose id=.
I need to get that wrapper div to have a particular class for my page
layout to work properly with various jQuery widgets I'm using.
Therefore, could LOAD please be enhanced to take an optional _class
argument?

You can reuse some code from this appliance:

contact form (store in dbb then sends an email)

[web2py] Do I have to re-invent the wheel to display and manage messages between users on a website?

[pbreit]

I haven't seen anyhin like that ready to go. I'm building an 
eBay/craigslist-like app so would be mildly interesting. By the way, I have 
recently switched from amazon ses to sendgrid for emailing (pricetack.com).

[web2py] Re: Paypal on Appengine

[pbreit]

I'll take a closer look tomorrow. For one thing you are mixing production API 
calls with a sandbox URL. With express checkout I usually work exclusively on 
production. Seems to be easier. You can do refunds.

[web2py] Confusing about FORM created and then printing it...

[Jason Brower]

I have created a form as follows:
invitation_form = FORM('Invitations List:', 
TEXTAREA(_name='invitations', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
"Subject:", INPUT(_name='subject', 
requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
"Message:", 
TEXTAREA(_name='message', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),

INPUT(_type='submit', _value="Send"))
And it works...
but when it displays it doesn't look like the other forms.
For example when I have an SQLFORM it never shows like this.  Is there a 
way for me to:

1: Print the form easily like with SQLFORM
and
2: Print field that I have out to make a specially made form.
I would looking here in the book: 
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/07#Custom-forms

But I couldn't apply the example here directly.

Re: [web2py] Do I have to re-invent the wheel to display and manage messages between users on a website?

[Albert Abril]

I guess you should make a model called messages, which you must relate it
within users.
Depends how you want to it working.

Re: [web2py] Re: LOAD: ajax_trap errors...

[Sebastian E. Ovide]

No, I'm not using trunk. We are using web2py as a stable and robust
enterprise framework and I'm sure that you would understand that it goes out
of our budget to invest in maintaining the same framework which aim is to
save us money.

I'll wait patiently to the next "stable" version

Thanks

If you write new sections, I am happy to proof-read for you.  I just
don't have too much time to write such sections myself, and do the
testing work required to get the technical accuracy correct.
