how does it work? every table, including auth_user will have an

modified_on,
is_active fields. When a record of table mything (or any other table) is
modified, a copy of the previous record is copied into mything_archive
which references the current record. When a record is deleted, it is not
actually deleted but is_active is set to False, all records with
is_active==False are filtered out in searches except in appadmin.
Pros:
- your app will get full record archival for auditing purposes
- could not be simpler. nothing else to do. Try with
SQLFORM.grid(db.mything) for example.
- does not break references and there is no need for uuids
- does not slow down searches because archive is done in separate
archive tables
Cons:
- uses lots of extra memory because every version of a record is
stored (it would be more efficient to store changes only but that would
make more difficult to do auditing).
- slows down db(...).update(...) for multi record because it needs to
copy all records needing update from the original table to the archive
table. This requires selecting all the records.

[web2py] reference or list:reference
I defined the following tables:
db.define_table('Node',
Field('createdOn',type='datetime',writable=False,readable=False),
Field('modifiedOn',type='datetime',writable= False,readable=False),
migrate=False)
db.define_table('Keyword',

Field('nodeID',db.Node,default='',notnull=True,ondelete='CASCADE',writable=False,readable=False),
Field('word',length=128,default='',notnull=True,ondelete='CASCADE'),
migrate=False)
The table Keyword contains keywords like counselor, mediator, coach ...
The table NodeKeyword should contain ids and keywords:
1counselor
2counselor
3mediator
Is there a way to implement this in web2py? I now have a validator:
db.NodeKeyword.word.requires=[IS_IN_DB(db,'Keyword.word','%(word)s',zero='select
a value')]
and added the foreign key constraint to the postgres datbase manually.
I read about reference and list:reference in the book what exactly are they.
Kind regards,

[web2py] Re: DataTables Help needed
Actually, it was a typo on my part...I did get it to work but now, working on 23,500 records and it takes so long to process..is that jquery?? With that much of data to load, your best bet would be AJAX. dataTables plugin provides for loading data with server-side ajax function. You might also look into infinite scrolling feature of dataTables. In that, the data is rendered (DOM is manipulated) dynamically as you scroll. You may visit their site search for AJAX infinite scroll. I am using dataTables AJAX for my work. If you need my code sample, do let me know on this list. HTH -- Vineet

[web2py] Re: new feature in trunk: better markmin
Hi Massimo
I love to see improvements to Markmin, it's great.
One thing that I do is substituting my own special 'tags' in my Markmin
text with info from my 'Snippets' table which contains standard paragraphs.
For example...
My special tag in Markmin text is: {id} Or, more flexibly:
{mytable:myfield:id}
In controller, something like this (pseudo code):
# find all special tags
tags = re.findall('{[0-9]*}', markmintext)
# replace tags with lookups of the ids from 'snippets' table.
for t in tags:
markmintext = markmintext.replace(t, db.snippets[t].paragraph)
This enables me to make up a page of content by simply listing a number of
'tags' which pulls in paragraphs from my 'snippets' table.
Could something like this idea be included?
Thanks, David

Re: [web2py] Re: data source configuration
could you explain how this would look in detail?
So I would have a file called settings.py in the modules folder and the

dbconnection = '...'
in my model files I could access the variable dbconnection, right?
settings.py is only loaded once (I'm not that familiar with modules)? does
this also work with compiled applications? and with (external) cron jobs?

First it must be decided if the configuration should be on the server or

file which could be similar like the language translation file. The
settings should only be read once when web2py is started. It would be
convenient to edit the configuration in the admin interface (on an own page
like the database administration). In the admin interface the settings
could automatically be refreshed when they are changed so you would not
have to restart web2py in this case just to reload the configuration.
In the application itself all you need is a method to read those settings
from the configuration. Maybe this could be added to the cache object but
I'm not really sure if this would fit in there. e.g.
connection = cache.get_configuration_property('dbconnection')
if not added to the cache a global application object would probably be
necessary.

I think the solution with reading a properties file and caching is fine
for me. Still, I think this feature is necessary for almost every real
world application and thus it would be good to have it in web2py. For
example in java application servers you can configure db connections in
the
admin console and access them via jndi. In grails there is an own
environment configuration so e.g. you can set different data sources, log
settings and so on for testing, development and production environment
(and
of course you could use your own environment, e.g. customer specific).

I'm still wondering why such an essential feature is missing...
How do you know which customer is accessing the app -- does something
in the URL distinguish customers? Whatever it is, can't you just create a
dictionary mapping the relevant request parameter to the appropriate data
source URI and either keep that dictionary in a model file or import it
from a module?

Note, I don't think you need the '%(word)s' -- that will be used by default
because it is simply the field used as the constraint (i.e., the second
argument).
I read about reference and list:reference in the book what exactly are
they.
You could make db.NodeKeyword.word a reference field to the db.Keyword
table -- in that case, it will store the record id's (i.e., integers) of
the associated keywords in the Keyword table. That will require an
additional join between the NodeKeyword and Keyword table whenever you want
the actual word text itself.
With a list:reference field, you wouldn't have the NodeKeyword table at
all. Instead, you would add a word list:reference field to the Node table
referencing the Keyword table. It would store a list of Keyword table
record id's referencing a set of keywords. Simpler design and easier if you
just need to display keywords per node, but less efficient if you need to
search nodes by keyword (because you have to do a contains search on the
list:reference field).

[web2py] Uploads saving to DB, but not to file system
I already searched thought this groups for uploads and found a bunch
similar questions, but not exactly my case -- I apologize if this has been
answered before.
I have a minimal RESTful web service defined as follows:
db.define_table('UPLOAD',
Field('custom_name' ,type='string', length=40, required=True),
Field('file_name', type='upload', required=True),
)
@request.restful()
def index():
def GET(upload_id=None):
if not upload_id:
form = SQLFORM(db. UPLOAD )
response.view = 'default/index.html'
return dict(form=form)
else:
...
def POST(*args,**vars):
return db.UPLOAD.validate_and_insert(**vars)
return locals()
when it posts, it does insert the file and and custom name, but it does not
actually save the file to disk (or anywhere for that matter). Am I missing
a step somewhere? Thanks.
[web2py] Re: new feature in trunk: better markmin
I should have tested it before posting. My guess was that it will return a
link to an absolute URL. What I meant was that I expected the actual data
returned by the controller function call (normally a dict), although I
don't know how this should be rendered when processed by markmin.
Perhaps allow something like this:
@{my/u/r/l[a_div]}

[web2py] nice to introduce new button in grid
can you suggest a nice looking solution for easly introduce new buttons
in grid and smartgrid when I'm in edit mode?
This are an example of a button to introduce:
my_extra_element_1 = FORM(INPUT(_type=submit, _value=T('Share data')),
_action=URL('share_data_with_users', args=table_id))
I would like to align with other button such as back, edit or view
At the moment I use to do something like this:
orm.components += [my_extra_element_1]
but it's not a nice solution expecially if I got more than one element
to introduce
Thanks a lot
Cheers

[web2py] Re: new feature in trunk: better markmin
@{controller/function/a/r/g/s.extension} (converts to the corresponding
full URL http:///app/controller/function/a/r/g/s.extension)
The example as is didn't work for me: this instead did:
@{appname/controller/function.extension}
And as I posted elsewhere makes a link. Now for me this could be handy too:
@{appname/controller/function.extension element key}
The above sentence would tell markmin to retrieve the action dictionary and
put the element's output in the page. Markmin would have also to store the
action function call somewhere to avoid redundancy.
Another question.
Can we do @{request.now} for example? (without the need to pass environment
to the markmin helper)

On a related note, I was trying to do this, more or less, this morning, and I
thought I might try to explore the structure of the grid by displaying it with
BEAUTIFY. But of course (I guess of course) that gives me the presentation of
the form/table itself, not a breakdown of its structure.
I wonder if it wouldn't be straightforward to have a version of BEAUTIFY
(arguments? alternative version called DUMP?) that would suppress this behavior
and give us a dump of the object down to lower-level structures: dicts, lists,
etc? Or is there already some better way to explore the structure of a FORM or
SQLTABLE or whatever?

So I would have a file called settings.py in the modules folder and the following content: dbconnection = '...' in my model files I could access the variable dbconnection, right? Yes, but of course you have to import the settings module first. Maybe at the beginning of your first model file (they are executed alphabetically), do: from gluon.custom_import import track_changes; track_changes(True) import settings Then subsequently in any model files, controllers, or views, you can access settings.dbconnection, etc. settings.py is only loaded once (I'm not that familiar with modules)? Yes, it should be (though with track_changes(True) it will automatically be reloaded whenever it changes). does this also work with compiled applications? It should. and with (external) cron jobs? I believe so, as long as the job runs the application models (where the settings are imported). I suppose it could also import the settings directly. Anthony

Example: what you get when you beautify request response. It might be enough to have an option to BEAUTIFY that suppressed calling .xml(), though it might be worth making exceptions in some cases. My case: I'm using SQLFORM.grid to display a table that's cached by memcache for the client (not for the grid). I'd like to add a button to delete the item from the cache. Easy enough to make it separate, but it'd look better integrated with the other buttons that are already there.

But I want to do it using CRUD. Also in crud form,a field of type date shows calendar only after the validation fails and user begins to enter the correct date. Can it be showed on the first attempt itself?? Yes, you can use custom HTML for Crud forms, but by default, Crud will insert hidden _formname and _formkey fields in the form (the latter is used to protect against CSRF attacks). Because Crud will expect those fields to be submitted with the form, the form has to be created via Crud, and the form object has to be passed to the view so you can include those fields. See here http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/7#Custom-forms for details on creating custom HTML for forms. Note, to make it easier to submit the form via Ajax, you might consider putting the form in an Ajax component via LOAD() (see herehttp://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/12#Components ). Anthony
