I agree. Moreover when we move stuff like this to the client our apps
get faster, when we move it to the server they get slower.

I guess we could roll our own.  But I see it more like jQuery and
other add-ins.  Life would be very difficult if we tried to duplicate
_everything_ in Python!

This looks easy to use, it's pretty small, and sort of... well...
"elegant" for lack of a better word.  It is aesthetically pleasing as
well as useful.

Is the web2py folder in your path?

I guess you are missing a level. Try something like:

from applications.soso.models.some_module import my_db_helper_here

I'm sorry I forgot the "some_module" in my first example.

I cannot reproduce this. I just tried this and it works:

def index():
load = LOAD(f='test.load',ajax=False,vars=dict(table='customer'))
return locals()

def test():
return 'hello world'

Would you send me a minimalist app so I can reproduce it. It is not a
good idea to call an action "list" because that is a python keyword,
but that should not causing your problem.

Thanks Pierr,

I was trying to do that but it is not working... actually I have a bunch of

errors...

the only errors stil there are those due to functions in my model files (as

I've tried also

from applications.myapp.models import *

and added a __init__.py inside the models folder

any other ideas ?

So does that mean tables defined before:
db._common_fields=[Field('request_precinct',default=request.env.http_host,writable=False,readable=False)]

Don't get populated with the common field?
If so that's great, lets you define which tables get fields, or even
have several levels of "common fields".

[web2py] Re: how strongly coupled are LOAD with web2py_ajax.html and web2py_ajax.js ?

[Anthony]

The new version of web2py_ajax.html/web2py_ajax.js should work the same as 
the old web2py_ajax.html, so you shouldn't need to update if you don't want 
to. Most of the original file was separated into a .js file in static (a) 
so the content can be cached by browsers instead of being sent on every 
request and (b) to make the JS more portable and easier to use outside the 
context of web2py_ajax.html (i.e., without requiring web2py template 
processing to generate).
 
In general, when you upgrade to a new web2py version, you shouldn't need to 
update your applications, though you may want to in order to take advantage 
of some new features (or bug/security fixes).

There should be no coupling at all. Anyway all changes to LOAD and or
web2py_ajax (and I mean intentional changes, not bugs) are implemented
with backward compatibility in mind.

The tables defined with a request_tenant field have the multi-tenant

If you want a 'global' table,  then define it before you start using the 
request_tenant field.

[web2py] how strongly coupled are LOAD with web2py_ajax.html and web2py_ajax.js ?

Hi All,

just wondering how strongly coupled are the web2py LOAD with the ajax
componetnts present in the applications... (web2py_ajax.html and
web2py_ajax.js for example)

I mean, would an old application that works fine with an old web2py, still
work on a newer web2py version which has changed also LOAD,
web2py_ajax.html and web2py_ajax.js ?

Just wondering how difficult would  maintaining one (many) application(s) be

Could the concept be broadened and the bounty split;  one half going

Splitting it good.  But I think 20% to the project is better.  We have 
to make it worth the bounty hunters money.
Should there be a standard bounty amount to stop people outbidding

I think there should be varying bounty amount.  Free markets free 
software. :)


Should there be a 'Bounty App' to list the bounties on offer or maybe 
we can include bounties in Web2pySlices slice requests?
I think bounties are a nice way to get things done, but sadly, many 
don't work.  We tend to think very big on the project and think the 
hunter will just fill in the gaps.  If we have an application to do 
this, I think it should be motorated by people that know how to manage 
in an agile development way.  that way the project can be declared done 
and the bounty can be closed by a modorater.  But then, at this point 
20% to the project 20% to the mod and 60% to the Hunter. I am willing to 
mod if we did something like this. :)

There is of course nothing to stop people doing their own thing.  But 
it would be nice to know that such an initiative is considered by the

Re: [web2py] LessCSS -- really interesting CSS "compiler"

As nice and easy as it is (I love how easy the language is).  Couldn't 
we just do this with python? That way we could just add our css file as 
a dynamic file like the others. I am personally planning to use the 
python code in my css generation as I need to do a bit of math and want 
variables and functions. Makes for very clean css if you build the css 
for each page. (But much harder work for us programmers.)

The crux of this js library is to preprocess your CSS files so you can
use a few carefully-chosen extensions to make your CSS files smaller
and more powerful (kind of like web2py).

For example, VARIABLES.  How many times have you wished you could just
assign a name to a color and then use it over and over and over inside
your CSS file?  Another example, NESTING.  You can actually use a
class, id, or element definition within another and its definition
nests.  And you can even pass parameters to tailor the nested CSS.

For something as simple in concept, it's a little overwhelming at how
it can transform a complicated CSS file.  I'm still wrapping my head
around it.

There are various way to interface and which one you use depend on the

Hi everybody,

I'm searching for a way to interface into a web2py application, that
does not use any of the built-in function-decorators.
I want to write a service that would run locally, and interact with
the web2py server, located on our company server, and serve as a
common bridge for multiple local applications running on a user's
machine.
On the back-end sides of the service I got things covered.
On it's front-side, the side that would talk to the web2py
application, I was hoping to use something more flexible and open then
xml-rpc or any of the rpc's...
I was thinking on the lines of running an RPyC server along-side the
web2py server, that would serve as a hub into the running process of
the web2py application.
I was also looking at Pyro, but the opinions about it where not great,
compared to RPyC.
I tried using the shell.py functionality, with no success.
I couldn't even interface with the welcome application on a fresh code
of web2py, via the web2py shell... It seems that something is broken
there...
I'm running from a command line, on the web2py folder:
   "python web2py.py -S welcome -M -N"
The console/shell appears (the ">>>" stuff...)
Then I do:
   "from gluon.shell import exec_environment"
Then I tried:
   "cas = exec_environment('applications/welcome/models/db.py')"
and
   "other = exec_environment('applications/welcome/controllers/
other.py')"
And they both throw me errors...

And also, even if it did work, even though it should, theoretically,
allow me to remotely use the DAL, it would be even more inefficient
then using xml-rpc, as every user would have to remotely invoke an
additional separate partial-web2py server process (if I understand the
mechanism correctly...).

Is there any efficient way to do what I need?

Pydev won't see them because they are imported implicitly by web2py. You can
use the if 0: trick so the static code analyzer will not complain:

if 0:
  from applications.myapp.models import myfunc

In the preferences of Pydev you can make "if" fold-able to be able to fold
the noisy code: Window > Preferences > Pydev > Editor > Folding

There is not much you can do because this is not a standard way to do things
in Python. Breaking from the standard has his part of ugly.

[web2py] Re: how to use contrib/login_methods/linkedin_account.py

[Luis Goncalves]

One more clue:

In the infinite loop,  every loop through the linkedin "grant access" 
(/oas/oauth/authorize) page  has a new oauth_token, such as

https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=f9eef16e-4f45-4f5e-aa5f-82ab18ad3a16

For static file requests, it looks like wsgibase() checks for "attachment" 
at the beginning of the URL query string and then sets the 
"Content-Disposition" HTTP header to "attachment". I went ahead and added 
some documentation about this to the "Dispatching" section of ch. 4, where 
static files are discussed (
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/04#Dispatching).
 
Note, you can also set HTTP headers directly via response.headers (e.g., 
response.headers['Content-Disposition']='attachment').
 
Also, if you use the response.download() method to download files that have 
been uploaded (as the download() controller function does), it takes a 
boolean "attachment" argument, which defaults to True.

[web2py] Re: how to use contrib/login_methods/linkedin_account.py

[Luis Goncalves]

An update (getting closer, but still problems):

It seems there are a couple more errors in linkedin_account.py:

There is an extraneous command which must have been left over from sample 
code:

profile = self.api.GetProfile(profile).public_url = 
"http://www.linkedin.com/in/ozgurv";

This line  overwrites the reading of the current user's profile, and should 
be removed.

Also, the call 

return 
self.api.getAuthorizeURL(self.token)



should be

return 
self.api.getAuthorizeURL()  
  


according to the python-linkedin module README instructions.

With those fixes, I now no longer get the error "We were unable to find the 
authorization token".

However, now I am stuck in an infinite loop:
I am always stuck on the linkedin "Grant access"  page, and pressing the 
"continue" button keeps returning to the same page.

I realize that given the existing bugs in the code, it is unlikely that 
anyone has actually used it,  but does anyone have a clue as to why after 
granting access on linkedin I am not logged in and back to the app?   It 
seems web2py does not respond properly to the access grant.   

If anyone can help, it will be greatly appreciated!!!  Trying to debug 
Auth() is going to be quite slow and painful to a web2py newbie like me!!!

Thanks!!!

Luis.

Not many changes but lots of small bug fixes that make things work
better.
generic fields are now disabled by default for old app and only

[web2py] Re: Cannot operate on a closed database

[Massimo Di Pierro]

I found the cause it this problem. It is not a bug in web2py but
something to be careful about in your programs.

You have a models/meteo.py which imports modules/meteo.py.

models/meteo.py does

   current.database = db

and modules/mete.py does

   db = current.database

the problem is that the latter statement is done at top leve therefor
it is only executed once when the module is imported by the first http
request. The module is then cached in ram and that line is no longer
executed. Therefore db is not the current thread local database
object but it is a reference to the db object of the first http
request which by now may be closed. You cannot extract objects from
the thread local "current" when you import the module, you have to do
it inside functions called when a controller is executed.

Hope this makes sense.

[web2py] Re: Remote Interfacing with Web2Py

[Massimo Di Pierro]

Please do not use exec_environment. Can you tell us more what kind of
interface you need? What is the purpose?

There are various way to interface and which one you use depend on the
purpose:

1)
web2py.py -S app -M -N -R yourcode.py

2)
>From your code
db = DAL(...,path='/path/to/db',auto_import=True)

3)
expose a service, access the service (XML-RPC)

4)
queue tasks in db, access db and process tasks

[web2py] Remote Interfacing with Web2Py

[Arnon Marcus]

Hi everybody,

I'm searching for a way to interface into a web2py application, that
does not use any of the built-in function-decorators.
I want to write a service that would run locally, and interact with
the web2py server, located on our company server, and serve as a
common bridge for multiple local applications running on a user's
machine.
On the back-end sides of the service I got things covered.
On it's front-side, the side that would talk to the web2py
application, I was hoping to use something more flexible and open then
xml-rpc or any of the rpc's...
I was thinking on the lines of running an RPyC server along-side the
web2py server, that would serve as a hub into the running process of
the web2py application.
I was also looking at Pyro, but the opinions about it where not great,
compared to RPyC.
I tried using the shell.py functionality, with no success.
I couldn't even interface with the welcome application on a fresh code
of web2py, via the web2py shell... It seems that something is broken
there...
I'm running from a command line, on the web2py folder:
  "python web2py.py -S welcome -M -N"
The console/shell appears (the ">>>" stuff...)
Then I do:
  "from gluon.shell import exec_environment"
Then I tried:
  "cas = exec_environment('applications/welcome/models/db.py')"
and
  "other = exec_environment('applications/welcome/controllers/
other.py')"
And they both throw me errors...

And also, even if it did work, even though it should, theoretically,
allow me to remotely use the DAL, it would be even more inefficient
then using xml-rpc, as every user would have to remotely invoke an
additional separate partial-web2py server process (if I understand the
mechanism correctly...).

Is there any efficient way to do what I need?

Re: [web2py] vhosts - apache - multiple domains - virtual hosts

[Kenneth Lundström]

Hello,

I think the best way is to let Apache take care of sort out web2py 
domains and non web2py domains. If you want to have a PHP site on one 
vhost and the rest are web2py then you need two vhost files. All web2py 
domains are pointed towards webpy.


Web2py with routes.py takes care of which domain belongs to which app.
This is my routes.py

routers = dict(
BASE = dict(
#abc = None,
domains = {
'economy.example.com' : 'economy',
'www.test.com' : 'test',
'test.com' : 'test'
}
),
)

Hi,

I have one server and one IP address. I use Ubuntu 10.04 with Apache
and Web2py.
I have the default installation working.

I have the following domain names:

castle.example.com
www.demonstration.com

So here is my problem... I want to use Apache and Virtual Hosts for
multiple domains. I want to map the "myapp2" to www.demonstration.com.
It does work but it seems the user controller gets an error [invalid

Going to castle.example.com works perfectly.

Going to www.demonstration.com works and the default index controller
shows
"1. You visited the url /myapp2/"

Whenever I click on a controller/view that requires auth_login I get
an invalid request error.
It takes me directly to the following:
http://www.demonstration.com/myapp2/default/user/login

If I fanangle with the url, the following works:
http://www.demonstration.com/default/user/login

Do I need to do something with my vhost file? Maybe something with
routes?
Is there an auth.settings I need to change?

my request.env.http_host did come up with "www.demonstration.com"
I think I need to override an Auth setting but I don't know if I am on
the right track.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...
