[web2py] Re: SQLFORM with divs or ordered lists instead of tables (for easier control with CSS)
Yes ... too many :(
Here's a 'simple' one:
The database table definition, which I use as a form for input:
db.define_table('scorecard',
Field('offense1', db.player, requires=IS_IN_DB( db, 'player.id',
'%(name)s', zero=T('choose one')) ),

Field('finish', 'datetime', readable=False, writable=False),
Field('single', 'boolean', readable=False, writable=False)) # single
game during round-robin rotate play, or part of a game-set-match
I would like this to display something like:
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-043w1FYNTj8/Tipod6h9_zI/HFk/0eX4V6S0Uf0/scorecard.png
The input is a scorecard for a game. Two teams with two players each, and
a fifth person that will play the next game.
The user defines who is playing the current game, and who is sitting out.
When the game is over, they select the scores.
On 'submit', the teams and scores are recorded, and the form is shown again,
with a suggested line-up for the next game
(but the user can alter the line-up if he wants).
In the controller:
def rotate_5_man():
form = SQLFORM( db.scorecard )
# retrieve previous player positions.
# pre-fill form with some suggestions
if form.accepts( .. )
# record score,
# figure out how to rotate players for next game
return dict(form=form)
In the view, rotate_5_man.html :
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
{{=form}}
So right now, the display of the form is quite rudimentary
(each item gets shown in order, listed vertically).
Is there a simple way to get the above layout instead?
Preferably done with minimal additional python/web2py/html,

[web2py] Re: how to iterate efficiently (memory-wise) through a huge DAL query
Thanks, Massimo! Even if I grab 1000 at a time (which is definitely better to do!!), I still have to wait for minutes before I get rows back! However, I have found that this is 'fast' : n = db.table.count() # not sure if that's the syntax, but somehow find out how many records in table for i in range(1,n): row = db.table(i) # do something with r This works fine if I want to iterate through every single entry in the database (and I assume there are no breaks in the record.id values). I don't know how to do something equivalent when the query/set represents an arbitrary (large) number of table records. I even tried just extracting the record.id values, id_index = db(q).select( db.table.id, limitby=(1000,1) ) to then access them through db.table(i), row = db.table( id_index[i].id ) but just getting the id_index list of record.id's was slow! I'm using sqlite3, on linux, with 4GB of RAM, and the DB is about 700MB in size (830MB with some index tables built). Thanks!!! Luis.
[web2py] Re: how to iterate efficiently (memory-wise) through a huge DAL query
Thanks, Vineet! Lot's of good info there! I don't have actual code yet, because I couldn't even get the db queries to work in a reasonable amount of time. The little code I showed in my initial post already runs slow ( my DB records are db.itemEntry, not db.table ...). The slowness (so far) is due to doing a query/select on a very large DB. I need to figure out how to query/select more efficiently. I wonder if the problem is with sqlite3 itself, since it stores the entire DB in a single file. I have constructed index tables for the fields I am searching on, but it is still incredibly slow. (see post below in reply to Massimo too!). Thanks! Luis.
Re: [web2py] Re: SQLFORM with divs or ordered lists instead of tables (for easier control with CSS)
I am just a beginner with CSS/HTML, and so maybe I have a misconceived idea
of what CSS can/should do and the right way to use it.
Naively, I thought that I could use the #id=table-field entries in CSS to
control placement/shape of the form elements, and not need to change much
more in the controller or the view?
It seems that if I have to use custom forms, then I might as well not even
bother with using SQLFORM -- it's pretty much like building the form piece
by piece in the view?
thanks,
Luis.

I think there are a few possibilities. First, your MultiT function could
work, but you'd have to use str(T(text)) instead of T(text). The reason
is
that T() returns a lazyT object, not the translated string (it isn't
translated until rendering). You can force the translation by calling
the
lazyT.__str__ method via str(T(text)).
Another option is to define your own T() objects for each language and
force
them to use the specific language. For example:
In a model file:
from gluon.languages import translator
enT=translator(request)
enT.force('en-en')
esT=translator(request)
esT.force('es-es')
In a view:
{{=esT('House')}} / {{=enT('House')}}
It would probably be easy to abstract the above by defining a class that
stores multiple T objects and lets you easily add additional ones.
A third option might be to create a special multi-language translation
file.
For example, you could create a file called es-en.py, which could
include
translations such as:
'House': 'Casa / House'
Hope that helps.

I'm developing an application that by request of our customer, needs

spanish and english, in the navigator should appear something like:
Casa / House
In the view we want to do something like this
{{=T(House, es-es)}} / {{=T(House, en-en)}}
But i don't know if web2py can permit to do this or something like

I was thinking of writing a function like this:

T.force(es-es)
ret_text = T(text)
T.force(en-en)
ret_text += separator + T(text)
return ret_text
But it does not work. Also, do not know how this affects the system

[web2py] How to add a IS_NOT_EMPTY constrait to list:reference field?
Hi Massimo,
How to add a IS_NOT_EMPTY constrait to list:reference field? This
seems a simple task but I ends up opening a can of worms. :-/ Here is
what I did.
1. Firstly, setup the sandbox.
db.define_table('tag',
Field('name', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()), format='%(name)s')
db.define_table('product',
Field('name', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
Field('tags', 'list:reference tag'),)
def product():
return {
1: crud.update(db.product, request.args(0)),
2: crud.select(db.product),
}
Now we can add new product with or without tags. Fine.
2. What if we need new product to have at least one tag?
I tried changing the tags field definition into (I thought it was
intuitive):
Field('tags', 'list:reference tag', required=True)
But nothing different. I can't force a tag.
3. Then I tried to change tags into:
Field('tags','list:reference tag',
requires =
IS_IN_DB(db,'tag.id',db.tag._format,multiple=True),),
This is the so-called default constraint, according to the book,
chapter 6.
But situation gets worse. Now I get error ticket whenever submitting
new product.
4. I even tried:
requires = [IS_NOT_EMPTY(), IS_IN_DB(...)]
still tickets.
Problem persists in both web2py 1.95.1 and 1.97.1, on Windows.
Did I miss something really obvious? Thanks in advance.

I somehow manged to install to install Postgres into Xampp directory ( by following a tutorial i found on web ) to use it under xampp environment which is working perfectly fine. But now i think that python dosnt know where is Postgres located on my machine. I have instlled Psycopg2 using http://www.stickpeople.com/projects/python/win-psycopg/ and MinGW GCC. Will web2py will work with this kind of postgres installation or i have to install it the normal way i.e outside of xampp directory? Thanks.

web2py doesn´t care where your Postgres is installed. If you can get Psycopg2 to work with your Postgres then web2py should work too.

I think there are a few possibilities. First, your MultiT function
could
work, but you'd have to use str(T(text)) instead of T(text). The
reason
is
that T() returns a lazyT object, not the translated string (it
isn't
translated until rendering). You can force the translation by
calling the
lazyT.__str__ method via str(T(text)).
Another option is to define your own T() objects for each language
and
force
them to use the specific language. For example:
In a model file:
from gluon.languages import translator
enT=translator(request)
enT.force('en-en')
esT=translator(request)
esT.force('es-es')
In a view:
{{=esT('House')}} / {{=enT('House')}}
It would probably be easy to abstract the above by defining a class
that
stores multiple T objects and lets you easily add additional ones.
A third option might be to create a special multi-language
translation
file.
For example, you could create a file called es-en.py, which could
include
translations such as:
'House': 'Casa / House'
Hope that helps.

I was thinking of writing a function like this:

I am just a beginner with CSS/HTML, and so maybe I have a misconceived
idea of what CSS can/should do and the right way to use it.
Naively, I thought that I could use the #id=table-field entries in CSS to
control placement/shape of the form elements, and not need to change much
more in the controller or the view?
It seems that if I have to use custom forms, then I might as well not even
bother with using SQLFORM -- it's pretty much like building the form piece
by piece in the view?

Here's a 'simple' one:

db.define_table('scorecard',
Field('offense1', db.player, requires=IS_IN_DB( db, 'player.id',
'%(name)s', zero=T('choose one')) ),
Field('defense1', db.player, requires=IS_IN_DB( db, 'player.id',

5],zero=None)),
Field('start', 'datetime', readable=False, writable=False),
Field('finish', 'datetime', readable=False, writable=False),
Field('single', 'boolean', readable=False, writable=False)) #
single game during round-robin rotate play, or part of a game-set-match
I would like this to display something like:
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-043w1FYNTj8/Tipod6h9_zI/HFk/0eX4V6S0Uf0/scorecard.png
The input is a scorecard for a game. Two teams with two players each,
and a fifth person that will play the next game.
The user defines who is playing the current game, and who is sitting
out. When the game is over, they select the scores.
On 'submit', the teams and scores are recorded, and the form is shown
again, with a suggested line-up for the next game
(but the user can alter the line-up if he wants).
In the controller:
def rotate_5_man():
form = SQLFORM( db.scorecard )
# retrieve previous player positions.
# pre-fill form with some suggestions
if form.accepts( .. )
# record score,
# figure out how to rotate players for next game
return dict(form=form)
In the view, rotate_5_man.html :
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
{{=form}}
So right now, the display of the form is quite rudimentary
(each item gets shown in order, listed vertically).
Is there a simple way to get the above layout instead?
Preferably done with minimal additional python/web2py/html,
but via CSS instead!
Thanks!!!

Re: [web2py] New to programming question
I'm rewriting it, but it's a different story. It's called powerpack. Instant
press is blog/ cms application solution oriented to visual. But in powerpack
I want to achieve that could make an cms or blog but this don't mix with
the rest of the application, because powerpack is boilerplate app like
welcome, you can do your application an add pages you can administer, or add
comments to some of your controllers. I'm rewriting powerpack that are
comming in the nexts weeks in version 2.0.
The develop version of 2.0 is in
https://bitbucket.org/mulonemartin/web2pyboilerplate/overview but when are
ready is going to replace powerpack.
Some example
=Controllers===
from plugins.comments.main import PluginCommentsdef plugin_comments():
Example plugin PluginComments
_ = PluginComments(boilerplate)
_.install()
comments = _.render()
return dict(comments=comments)
This example in controllers, not required nothing in models (only
boilerplate that is central class) so does not interfered with others
controllers, it's loaded when it's need it and give comments when you do
/mycontroller/plugin_comments
def plugin_markitup():

Martin,
Thanks so much for the quick response! That makes a few things a lot more
clear, thank you.
I really like a lot of the things the InstantPress does, and as I'm a
rather novice programmer, I thought I would work through your example to
learn more, and maybe build some things I've got in mind.
If I may, let me ask this: with the changes to web2py, from a high-level
design perspective, how would you change the code and/or structure of
Instant Press if you wrote it now? It seems to work well, and is farily
modular in its own way.

[web2py] Re: how to iterate efficiently (memory-wise) through a huge DAL query
Ah ! The database-tier did not flash into my mind. I have not used sqlite anytime. I am using MySQL; the table structure is partially normalised, suitable indexed. Because of these optimizations, whenever I query a huge table (1 million rows), I get very fast response. I don't know whether any shell is available for sqlite. If available, run your query from the shell see whether the speed is OK or not. If OK there, then the problem lies in your python code. Otherwise, you need to optimize the table-structure at the database- level. My advise is to use a production database server like MySQL / MariaDB / PostgreSQL. If you have any questions regarding using MySQL through Python, pl. feel free to ask. Cheers! :-) On Jul 23, 11:56 am, Luis Goncalves lgoncal...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks, Vineet! Lot's of good info there! I don't have actual code yet, because I couldn't even get the db queries to work in a reasonable amount of time.

I need to figure out how to query/select more efficiently. I wonder if the problem is with sqlite3 itself, since it stores the entire DB in a single file. I have constructed index tables for the fields I am searching on, but it is still incredibly slow. (see post below in reply to Massimo too!). Thanks! Luis.
[web2py] Re: how to iterate efficiently (memory-wise) through a huge DAL query
You have exposed two relatively advanced programming topics: code profiling and database performance tuning. Because I am a relative noobie to both Python and Sqlite, I cannot unfortunately give you specific directions. But I can offer an approach you might try. Maybe you should first learn where the bottleneck lies through code profiling. Generally a code profiler will trace the code as it runs and timestamp the steps. It should be relatively easy to spot long waits after database calls, for example. Python does have built in code profiling as described here: http://docs.python.org/library/profile.html As a short cut, you might try indexing your table(s). In general, you want an index on any column that appears in a where clause or an order by clause. Is the data normalized at all, or is it all in one huge table like a spreadsheet would produce? If the data is not normalized, you will need to find a way to normalize it.

Hi Massimo,
How to add a IS_NOT_EMPTY constrait to list:reference field? This

1. Firstly, setup the sandbox.
db.define_table('tag',

db.define_table('product',

2: crud.select(db.product),

Now we can add new product with or without tags. Fine.
2. What if we need new product to have at least one tag?
I tried changing the tags field definition into (I thought it was
intuitive):
Field('tags', 'list:reference tag', required=True)
But nothing different. I can't force a tag.
3. Then I tried to change tags into:
Field('tags','list:reference tag',
requires =
IS_IN_DB(db,'tag.id',db.tag._format,multiple=True),),
This is the so-called default constraint, according to the book,
chapter 6.
But situation gets worse. Now I get error ticket whenever submitting
new product.
4. I even tried:
requires = [IS_NOT_EMPTY(), IS_IN_DB(...)]
still tickets.
Problem persists in both web2py 1.95.1 and 1.97.1, on Windows.
Did I miss something really obvious? Thanks in advance.

ArrC, the proper way is to start the database using xampp (using control panel, or script) then use web2py.

I had given that some thought, but went with '.mobile.html' for clarity. I suppose I could make it just '.m.html', but that might be hard to see in a list of files. I could have just made it '.mobile', or something, but then code editors won't pick up on it.

f_customer is a drop-down and f_extra would also be a drop-down. Now I
have a list of questions.
1) Is it possible to get the form.accepts to validate that either
f_customer or f_extra is selected. Both can´t be selected and both can´t
be empty? I remember seeing this discussed on the list not long ago, but
could not find it.
2) If 1) is not possible then I guess I have to put dbio=False and do
the validation manually. How do I show the error message the same way
web2py does?
3) Instead of creating a custom layout for this form I´d like to add the
field in the controller with something like:
form.element('table').insert(2,TR('label',INPUT(_name='name'))), but how
do I add a SELECT with many OPTIONS? The f_extra field drop-down is
created from two different tables auth_user and t_extra_fields. I guess
I should use query auth_user and t_extra_fields and then create a list.
That list is used to create the drop-down.
4) When using the OPTION helper is it possible to have a different value
of the option then what is shown?
Thank you for all ideas.

Yes, you should be able to (to some extent, depending on exactly what you want to do). If you use formstyle='divs', you'll get a set of divs with a consistent scheme of CSS classes and ids to identify the different form elements. Beyond that, is there something additional you think web2py could be doing to facilitate the kind of CSS-based customization you want to do. What output should web2py be generating that would enable you to achieve the form formatting you want purely via CSS? It seems that if I have to use custom forms, then I might as well not even bother with using SQLFORM -- it's pretty much like building the form piece by piece in the view? SQLFORM (and FORM, to a lesser extent) does a lot more than just build the form HTML for you. It also handles validation, error message display, CSRF and double submission protection (via a _formkey hidden field), form pre-population for updates, database insertion, etc. Using the form.custom.widgets is also easier than manually building all the HTML for each field widget.

Re: [web2py] DISCUSSION: Dual Desktop/Mobile Functionality

I see what the problem is. The default widget overrides the validator.
Before we look for a solution let me undertand what you need.
The way you phrased looks like you want users to input the IDs of the
tags. I suspect you want instead the user to insert tag names, perhaps
comma separated, and you want the system to parse them and store the
corresponding ids in the product.tags field. Is this correct?

@Martin, Sounds really interesting! I'll check it out, and definitely keep an eye on the project! Thanks! @pbreit I agree that, at first, it was a little confusing, but once I saw the pattern it became a lot easier to trace. (get the configurations and superclass through the model files, and db.py just starts it all up - at least, that's how I read it...) I particularly like the relatively modular nature of the application - models and functions for each component are contained in their own module, and, in theory, could be drop-in/drop-out. I'm coming from the world of Wordpress, so...there are some things I'd do differently (and am working on just that!), but I think it's a good place to start! Honestly, I'll probably end up somewhere in between Instant Press and what the book describes!

[web2py] Re: how to iterate efficiently (memory-wise) through a huge DAL query
That's a fair statement. Indices not only increase the size of the data, they also slow down db writes, because the index tables need to be written as well as the data tables. Still, you want to avoid a full table scan on a table with millions of records. Sqlite also has an explain command, just Google 'sqlite explain select.' As we think about this, I am becoming persuaded that the best approach would be to try the queries from a command-line client, no matter which db engine is used.

From the user-interface aspect, of course we expect end user to input

looking multi-selection widget by default, in scenario 1 of my first

The only and real problem right now, is that end user can add/edit a

IS_NOT_EMPTY() constraint on it.
Hope I explain it clear. If not, feel free to ask me again. Thanks!

Re: [web2py] DISCUSSION: Dual Desktop/Mobile Functionality
That thought had occurred to me about mobile phones vs tablets, but I didn't
want to get too complex with this right away. However, you are correct that
many sites have an iPhone/mobile site, and iPad site, and a desktop site. I
think I'll try to expand my patch to replace request.is_mobile with
request.browser_class, which could equal 'desktop', 'mobile', or 'tablet'. A
request from an iPad would first check for 'tablet' views, then 'mobile'
views, and finally 'desktop' views. How does that sound?
As for the directory structure, I suppose we could do something like this:
views/
_mobile/
default/
other_controller/
_tablet/
default/
other_controller/
default/
other_controller/
Or even put the devices into an main '_devices' folder:
views/
_devices/
_mobile/
...
_tablet/
...
default/
other_controller/
The only issue I'm having with this is with the layouts. In order for this
to work with byte compile, I actually had to turn the layout.html file into
this:
{{if is_mobile:}}
!-- All mobile HTML --
{{else:}}
!-- rest of original layout.html file --
{{pass}}
I tried breaking it into desktop.html and mobile.html, then in layout.html:
{{if is_mobile:}}
{{include 'mobile.html'}}
{{else:}}
{{include 'desktop.html'}}
{{pass}}
Unfortunately, in the desktop.html or mobile.html, the {{include}} line that
includes the view content is ignored, so I had to put everything into a
single layout.html file.

The SMTP protocol can be encrypted at a low level with either TLS or

Re: [web2py] Re: SSL Email Support patch
STARTTLS is the negotiated protocol of SSL. it's a method of establishing the connection using plain text, becoming aware that the server supports an encrypted layer and then initiating an SSL session. plain SSL is the dumb, or blind, approach to smtps. failure to negotiate SSL via protocol means a possibly lengthy session timeout with no clear explanation why the session failed. why to use SSL rather than TLS? generally any server that supports plain SSL should also support TLS. there are corner cases. while rare, it's nice to be able to say yep, we got that covered too. -david On 07/23/11 16:02, Eric Vicenti wrote: The SMTP protocol can be encrypted at a low level with either TLS or SSL.

[web2py] Re: How to use the new cpdb.py introduced in 1.97.1?
so, cpdb.py runs on its own (no need to invoque with web2py.py).
this is the short version of its usage:
usage: cpdb.py [-h] -f SOURCEFOLDER -F TARGETFOLDER -y
SOURCECONNECTIONSTRING -Y TARGETCONNECTIONSTRING
[-a AUTOIMPORT] -d DAL [-t {True,False}] [-b TABLES]
[-c CLEAN]
you can something like:
$ python cpdb.py -f ./blueLite/db_storage -F ./blueLite/blueP4 -y
sqlite://storage.sqlite -Y sqlite://storage2.sqlite -d ./blueLite/
pyUtils/sql/blueSQL
-f points to the folder of the source DB
-F points t0 the folder of the target DB (which doen't exist yet)
-y the source connection string
-Y the target connection string
-d points to the folder where dal.py lives (like .../gluon
-a is set to True by default
warning:
-c will delete the source db tables!
-t will truncate all tables
i use this within scripts pn a daily basis and all works for me.
Please try it this way and let me know if you still have issues (i
have not tested from sqLite to postgres, but if the connection string
is correct and everything to connect to postgres is on the system then
all should work well)

Re: [web2py] DISCUSSION: Dual Desktop/Mobile Functionality
Not sure about which directory structure works best, but as for falling back, it tries to go to the most specific device first, then will fallback to the desktop html if not found. So an iPad will go to the tablet, if there's no view for that, should it fall back to mobile, or to desktop? That and figuring out the best directory structure for this would be a good idea. I guess we'd have to get more opinions on the matter. Maybe Massimo has a preference? :)
Re: [web2py] DISCUSSION: Dual Desktop/Mobile Functionality
Developers will probably want to take a variety of approaches to handling mobile vs. desktop, so we should probably be careful about being too opinionated here and only offering one inflexible approach. For some of this stuff, it might make more sense to offer some recipes and/or a plug-in rather than, for example, hard-coding directory structures or mobile browser lists into the framework. Perhaps we should only make changes to the framework to handle things that cannot be handled at the application level (e.g., bytecode compilation issues with conditional layouts) or that are likely to be useful under a variety of approaches to multi-layout sites.

And while I might have generic phone and tablet views, I might also have specialized iPhone and iPad views, just because they're dominant and perhaps worth the extra effort. The point is that these are individual decisions.

I m creating a form with SQLFORM that includes 6 fields.
One field is f_customer with requires IS_IN_DB()
Now I'd like to add a new field not taken directly from database. Lets
call it f_extra.
f_customer is a drop-down and f_extra would also be a drop-down. Now I
have a list of questions.
1) Is it possible to get the form.accepts to validate that either
f_customer or f_extra is selected. Both can t be selected and both can t
be empty? I remember seeing this discussed on the list not long ago, but
could not find it.
2) If 1) is not possible then I guess I have to put dbio=False and do
the validation manually. How do I show the error message the same way
web2py does?
yes
def check(form):
if (form.vars.a and form.vars.b) or (not form.vars.a and not
form.vars.b):
form.errors.b = a and b cannot be both empty or selected
form.accepts(...,onvalidation=lambda form: check(form))
3) Instead of creating a custom layout for this form I d like to add the
field in the controller with something like:
form.element('table').insert(2,TR('label',INPUT(_name='name'))), but how
do I add a SELECT with many OPTIONS? The f_extra field drop-down is
created from two different tables auth_user and t_extra_fields. I guess
I should use query auth_user and t_extra_fields and then create a list.
That list is used to create the drop-down.
Is this a FORM or SQLFORM. In the latter case you need a custom
widget. In the former case you can do
SELECT(*[OPTION(value) for value in ],**dict(value='default'))
4) When using the OPTION helper is it possible to have a different value
of the option then what is shown?
OPTION('shown value',_value='hidden value')

you can something like:

-a is set to True by default
warning:

i use this within scripts pn a daily basis and all works for me.
Please try it this way and let me know if you still have issues (i
have not tested from sqLite to postgres, but if the connection string
is correct and everything to connect to postgres is on the system then
all should work well)

[web2py] Re: FORM questions
That's an issue with your Python code. You should either move the import
outside the function or only import specific objects from the Decimal module
(which is probably a better idea -- from module import * is usually not
recommended).

I m creating a form with SQLFORM that includes 6 fields.
One field is f_customer with requires IS_IN_DB()
Now I'd like to add a new field not taken directly from database. Lets
call it f_extra.
f_customer is a drop-down and f_extra would also be a drop-down. Now I
have a list of questions.
1) Is it possible to get the form.accepts to validate that either
f_customer or f_extra is selected. Both can t be selected and both can t
be empty? I remember seeing this discussed on the list not long ago, but
could not find it.
2) If 1) is not possible then I guess I have to put dbio=False and do
the validation manually. How do I show the error message the same way
web2py does?
yes
def check(form):
if (form.vars.a and form.vars.b) or (not form.vars.a and not
form.vars.b):
form.errors.b = a and b cannot be both empty or selected
form.accepts(...,onvalidation=lambda form: check(form))
3) Instead of creating a custom layout for this form I d like to add the
field in the controller with something like:
form.element('table').insert(2,TR('label',INPUT(_name='name'))), but how
do I add a SELECT with many OPTIONS? The f_extra field drop-down is
created from two different tables auth_user and t_extra_fields. I guess
I should use query auth_user and t_extra_fields and then create a list.
That list is used to create the drop-down.
Is this a FORM or SQLFORM. In the latter case you need a custom
widget. In the former case you can do
SELECT(*[OPTION(value) for value in ],**dict(value='default'))
4) When using the OPTION helper is it possible to have a different value
of the option then what is shown?
OPTION('shown value',_value='hidden value')
Re: [web2py] DISCUSSION: Dual Desktop/Mobile Functionality
I'm a bit with Anthony. I don't yet see a big role for the framework. I don't think selectively creating mobile versions of certain views is that common a pattern and is easily accomplished with an if-then in the view.
[web2py] Re: How to use the new cpdb.py introduced in 1.97.1?
if you cd to your web2py/scripts directory and run something like:

should work...

to me cpdb.py is just a skeleton, it will copy a DB and all that good

as an example, i have a variation on this that uses urllib2 to
download full DB's, connects to it and a python console is started in
my bash shell that can make use of the 'db' object. So, i can
immediately start using the object db.
i.e. $ print db(db.myTable.name=='a_name').select().last().value
myField_value
or, i added some helpers to quickly display entire tables in a nice

[web2py] wiki 1st question: problem with an anchor
Hi,
I have written a text page abc with web2py wiki containing a label [[a]].
There are two links in default/index.html:
- a href=http://127.0.0.1:8000/test/plugin_wiki/page/abc#a;Link 1/a
- {{=A('Link 2',_href=URL('test','plugin_wiki','page',args=['abc#a']))}}
Link 1 opens http://127.0.0.1:8000/test/plugin_wiki/page/abc*#*a; and works
fine.
Link 2 tries http://127.0.0.1:8000/test/plugin_wiki/page/abc*%23*a; and the
result is *invalid request*.
Web2py does not like %23 instead of # as a part an url?
Any ideas?
