CoffeeScript supposedly makes JavaScript more pleasant. Same for LESS and SASS for CSS. I haven't used any of them.

Maybe even a computed field? http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/06#Computed-Fields You might want to store the postcode and check it to see if the new one is different before geocoding it.

[web2py] Re: Ajax Call -Determining which button was pressed
It's up to you how you trigger/call the ajax() function -- if you want to
call it when a button is clicked, then add the call to the button's onclick
attribute. You don't have to specify any field -- just use [] for the
second argument.

[web2py] Ajax Call -Determining which button was pressed
Hello,
the ajax function example in the web2py book
ajax('{{=URL('new_post')}}',['your_message'], 'target');
sends the value of the field *your_message* to the controller function
I dont want to send the value of a field but a button onclick action
My webpage can have 2,4 10 or 20 buttons. It depends . And each time i press
a button i need to call the ajax function to process that button
can the ajax function process a button instead of a text field?

[web2py] Instant Admin third-party security audit?
I'm just writing to find out if a third-party has audited the code for the new instant admin plug-in for web2py (https://github.com/sramana/ web2py-instant-admin). It's a beautiful interface for the db, and I mean nothing personal against the developers, who have done a fantastic job building a great-looking way to access the db. It's just this is a lot of code, and I've not yet gone over the whole thing myself (and would not be the ideal candidate for doing a security audit anyway). And before I give access to my db to a new third-party plug-in, I'd like to know at least that others are using it in production, and ideally that someone skilled in auditing python code for security has taken a close look at it. It would be a great admin interface for admins to use with an app I've created.

Hi there, I bought the web2py .pdf, and have been reading it, but I'm struggling a little bit with: http://www.web2py.com/book/default/chapter/07#SQLFORM Specifically the section "SQLFORM without database IO" I have 2 fields, lon & lat I'd like to calculated from a postcode and enter into the database.

Is this a rational way to accomplish my requirements? Thanks in advance!

hi Roberto, This version seems to be backward incompatible: --protocol http --socket 127.0.0.1: doesn't seems to work for me and using uwsgi --http 127.0.0.1: with --touch-reload makes uwsgi to exit completely (no uwsgi processes after touching the file )
[web2py] Re: How do I install a plugin??
Ah, ok, I figured it out. What I expected to be called "install" is called "upload". It's kind of funny to have to "upload" something I have just "downloaded", but whatever :-)
[web2py] Re: How do I install a plugin??
Upload the plugin file -- that will "install" it. On Saturday, September 10, 2011 3:03:51 PM UTC-4, Luca wrote: > > Suppose I downloaded a plugin.

[web2py] How do I install a plugin??
Suppose I downloaded a plugin. Now I have: web2py.plugin.layout_EfflorescenceBlue.w2p Great; how do I install it? The book says to use the edit page in admin, but I see no such option in the edit page in admin to install a plugin file. There is a link to download plugins (which I have done, now what?), and one to upload plugins, but no link to install them. What am I to do with my plugin file? Thanks! - Luca
[web2py] encoding
hey all my website is dealing with arabic characters and I have a problem with encoding I can read from DB wothout problem when I try to insert any data using ajax function I got the string written like that in python : "%D8%A8%D8%A8%D9%8A%D9%8A%D9%8A%D8%B3%D8%B3%'" when I try to write : txt=unicode(txt) I get the same result can anyone help me
[web2py] Re: what other tools do you use with web2py
Indeed, you are right. I found with my first really big web2py project that 80% of my time was in jQuery and getting various jQuery widgets and tools to work properly. Of course, Firebug is essential when debugging this kind of stuff. I also like Eclipse as an IDE. CSS has always seemed like an abomination to me and I continue to hold that opinion. Firebug is useful for combing through CSS. On Sep 10, 2:09 pm, LightDot wrote: > You mean JavaScript and CSS?

[web2py] Re: what other tools do you use with web2py
You mean JavaScript and CSS? I guess there is no way past using CSS, but there are a lot of choices when it comes to JavaScript libraries. Although, jQuery is one of the best in my opinion.
[web2py] what other tools do you use with web2py
The two best things about web2py: Ability to achieve a lot with a very small number of lines of code Being able to use python in the view templates The worst thing: Finding that 2/3 of the time is now spent on jquery and CSS! What tools are there to make this easier? Are jquery and CSS the best available?
Re: [web2py] reading special chars from T dict
It's me again. In fact, they do appear ok in regular html (even if they appear strange in shell), but I'm having problems displaying them in other places. Anyways, I guess this is 'ok', until I figure out the exact way to replicate my problem, considering they do appear correctly in regular html. Thanks a lot !, Carlos
Re: [web2py] reading special chars from T dict
Btw the following is what I get from shell:
T.force('es') > ['es']
print T('any') > Organizaci├│n
str(T('any')) > 'Organizaci\xc3\xb3n'
Thanks.
Re: [web2py] reading special chars from T dict
Hi Bruno, I have the following as the first line in my language file: # coding: utf8 Is that the correct format?. Carlos
Re: [web2py] reading special chars from T dict
Do you have coding: utf-8? I have no problem with portuguese pontuation.

[web2py] reading special chars from T dict
Hi, (I asked this as a reply in another topic (html entities), but I'll move it here to be on a separate thread) Why is it that my translations are not being read correctly from the T dict?. I have the following T value (notice the spanish accent): Organización But when read from web2py, it appears as: Organizaci\xc3\xb3n What can I do in order for T to read it properly?. Thanks, Carlos
[web2py] Re: has anyone done web2py + google maps?
There's this plugin: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/web2py/4RFAudXbt3s/discussion. Also, plugin_wiki includes a Google Maps widget similar to that plugin (http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/13#Current-Widgets). There's also https://github.com/relsi/web2pyople (see it running here: http://web2pyople.appspot.com/).

Yes this is a much better design pattern. I will just make a file of
these helpers and include them all at once.
