[web2py] Re: Bare Login using API key

[lyn2py]

Thanks Leonel! I just thought that web2py had something like that already 
in place, perhaps needed to add a correct decorator, and I didn't need to 
reinvent the wheel.

Sidenote to Massimo: What do you think of the idea? Have a decorator to 
check for a special field or fields (API key related, like API key, API 
secret) in order to get a particular / restricted access to the API calls.

[web2py] Re: how to Consume external NetTcp SOAP service in Web2Py

[Dave S]

So it's not too bad consuming a service I provide for myself, but I'm also 
interested in a service provided by a third-party device.

This particular service doesn't use "action", instead it uses "control" and 
"flag".

In a SUDS client (sudsclient = suds.client.Client(serviceurl, transport), 
I use sudsclient.factory.create('ns2:typename') to create the xmlnodes,
and in sudsclient.service.XYZService(control, action="", node, flag) use 
the 
settings I've given them (string and integer, respectively) while leaving 
the action blank (as you see).

The debug info from the SUDS client shows the XML with the usual stuff and 
the body as follows:
HEADERS: {'SOAPAction':'""', [...], 'Soapaction' : '""'}

and

http://www/w3/org/ 
[etc, including 1 proprietary
 and 2 xmlsoap.org] ]>
STR1NODEIDSTR
1234

Does someone have a suggestion how to do this with pysimplesoap?  I'm 
looking at the source of client.py, but it will take me a while to make 
sense of it and to find where the corresponding bit to 
sudsclient.factory.create() is.

Thanks for your help.

Dave

[web2py] Re: Display registration error for auth.register_bare()

[Mark Li]

I'd like to give a shot at AJAX-ifying the auth.register() form, but I'm 
not quite sure where to start. Looks quite daunting (for me). I'm looking 
at auth.register() source and web2py.js; would I simply want to add code to 
web2py.js to force the auth.register() forms to submit via AJAX (and return 
errors via ajax as well)?

Or would this involve adding changes to auth.register() as well, such as 
providing an option auth.register(ajax=False)?

[web2py] Re: jquery onchange help

[ocascante]

After having read more than 30 post in google, about web2py and ajax that 
have not been answered yet, I could find the way to answer my question. 
Here is for help if someone have the same doubt.

in db.py

def card_name():
if request.vars.card != "":
query = db.cards(db.cards.card==request.vars.card)
return query.name+" "+query.firstname+" "+query.secondname
else:
return ''

In custom form:


{{=form.custom.begin}}
Card Number: {{=form.custom.widget.card}}
.
Card name:

{{=form.custom.end}}

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
   jQuery('#documents_card').change(function(){
   ajax('card_name', ['card'], 'target');
});
});

I'll did delete the tables already because I did suspect the database 
because a backup before a database corruption was working and the version 
after the corruption (restored the tables from an other backup) was having 
this issue. I'll keep you informed.

I am not doing so on the Fedora machine. I am using

As far as I can tell, though, that is a legacy package based on Bootstrap 
2. You have to install a third party package for Bootstrap 3, and I don't 
think they plan to move Bootstrap 3 to the core packages. No other CSS 
frameworks are supported via core packages. Furthermore, I think all that 
gets you is the actual Bootstrap CSS and JS files, along with some minor 
CSS overrides. There is no HTML layout as with the web2py scaffolding app.

An easy way would be to have your default.py/call function check the API

your own basic_login using the API key and use that as the Auth for your 
application but it seems unnecessarily complicated for this.

[web2py] Re: how to Consume external NetTcp SOAP service in Web2Py

[Dave S]

I kind of let this lay around until last night, when I had the happy idea 
that this would help me with a particular user problem.  I have stand-alone 
SOAP clients using SUDS or Java, but I have a user where installing those 
clients could be problematic.  So I tried as below, but failed.

Note that instead of doing this from a console, I was trying to make this a 
function within my controller, so that it could be used by clinking a link 
on a page I'm serving.  I have an instance of web2py on an old Fedora, 
where it has been running happily for nearly a year.  The SOAP provider 
works fine there.  In addition, there is a summary page I can browse to.  
This works from the local browser, but when I try to use the SOAP client 
code I get connection refused.  So I turned to another instance of web2py, 
running on Centos machine.  I can access it just fine via my stand-alone 
SOAP clients and the summary page, but again I get "connection refused".
(from urlib2.py, line 1165, Errno 111 per the ticket.; HTTP 500 sent to the 
client machine).

tcpdump on the Centos machine shows it being the access to the function 
that acts as the SOAP client, and console output indicates that 
instantiating the client is the problem.  I've tried with both the location 
parameters as shown below, or with the wsdl parameter as in the first 
example on pysimplesoap, and with and without setting the Authorization 
header (the servers are on an internal network, and still using Rocket, and 
so I've turned off authorization on the SOAP provider;  the stand-alone 
clients send the authorization header, but it isn't used).  One of the 
stand-alone clients uses pyssimplesoap.

Any suggestions?

Dave

[web2py] Re: Can not import copy_reg

[Leonel Câmara]

My guess would be this is happening because of you copying files with 
pickles around. Some stuff is not portable, for instance, web2py uses 
marshal in some places.

Pickle is infamous for giving very weird error messages like the one you 
are getting that appear to point to other problems.

If I am right, a solution can be to delete everything with pickles on it. 
Like the table files in the database folder, the sessions and everything in 
the cache.

Not sure why the Fedora machine can recognize its outside IP as local and

You can do the above, but it will make the selection functionality useless 
(unless you are intercepting the submitted request.vars elsewhere 
manually). The "selectable" argument should be a function that takes the 
list of records selected and then does something with them (e.g., delete 
them). It can also be a list of lists if you want to allow more than one 
possible function to be applied to the list of records (in that case, each 
list should include a button label, a callback function, and a button 
class).

First, web2py does include a BS3 formstyle, so you can simply do:

SQLFORM(..., formstyle='bootstrap3')

and assuming you have the BS3 CSS loaded, your forms should look fine.

More generally, though, web2py cannot cater to every CSS framework. Because 
Bootstrap is so popular, it is used for the scaffolding app, and there are 
built-in formstyles for BS2 and BS3. If you want to use another CSS 
framework, however, you can simply spend a few minutes writing a custom 
formstyle function, and then use that for all of your forms -- no need to 
write custom HTML in every form view.

I agree that the scaffolding app should migrate to BS3, but this is a bit 
of an odd complaint. Most server side frameworks come with no scaffolding 
app at all. How could the lack of a BS3 scaffolding app be killing web2py 
if the alternatives don't offer one either? web2py certainly doesn't make 
it any harder to work with BS3 than any other framework, and in fact it is 
generally easier because web2py does include a BS3 formstyle and BS3 
classes for the grid (most other frameworks don't even include a grid for 
that matter).

Of course it's easier if the scaffolding app already happens to be based on 
the CSS framework you want to use, but it really is not that difficult to 
take any front-end template you find and convert it to a web2py layout 
template, as described here 
. Just 
start with the HTML template and insert some of the web2py template code 
you see in the welcome layout.html, tweaked as needed. You might also keep 
some or all of web2py.css.

In any case, Massimo has distributed a BS3 version of the welcome app, 
though if you're not planning to make any layout/styling modifications 
anyway, it really won't be any different from using the BS2 version.

[web2py] Re: Can not import copy_reg

[Giles Thomas]

Hi all,

Giles from PythonAnywhere here.  I've been working with Richard to try to 
track this down further.  One thing I can confidently say is that it's not 
an Apache/mod_wsgi problem in this case, because we use nginx and uWSGI.

I've also double-checked that the `copy_reg` import works from a trivial 
Flask app, and that was fine, so I don't think it's the interpreter.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how we could further debug this?


All the best,

Giles

In what way is the grid not compatible with BS3? Right now it even includes 
BS3 classes.

Note, even the current BS2 scaffolding app is responsive. Yes, the grid 
itself is not "responsive", but it won't be with BS3 either. There are 
various ways to design responsive tables, but people have different 
preferences for how they want to do that, and the best solution may depend 
on the specifics of the data being displayed. I suppose we could develop a 
"responsive" grid option, though that is unrelated to whether we're using 
BS2 or BS3 (and you would want the grid layout to work independent of the 
CSS framework anyway). The best approach will probably be to modularize the 
grid code (which has been discussed), separating the backend querying from 
the actual data display, which would make it easier for users to develop 
custom displays in the views.

Keep in mind that most server side frameworks like web2py don't include 
grid functionality at all. web2py can only do so much regarding grid 
functionality. At some point, if you need more sophisticated grid behavior, 
it may make sense to use a more full-featured solution, such as 
https://datatables.net/extensions/responsive/.

This doesn't make any sense. How is javascript which runs on the user's 
browser supposed to have access to functions defined in python that are in 
your db.py model file in the webserver?  
  
If you actually want that, you need a controller and then use ajax to call

[web2py] Re: Two parallel methods of authenticating users based on Auth class

[Marcin Jaworski]

Hi Massimo,
Thanks for your input. 
Yes, they would receive email, since they have got external (out of google 
services) email accounts.
I realized that I should describe shortly my approach.

Most of aplication users will use GaeGoogleLogin. 
There are only few that will use alternative login method.
The minority have their own records in datastore with id, login and 
password. 

How to authenticate the minority?
I have found function in web2py.gluon.tools.Auth called login_user() that 
should log in requested user as can be checked via is_logged_id(). 
I prepared separate login screen (avoiding Google login) getting user input 
namely login and password.
Now If user input match user data I would like use auth.user_login() to get 
'logged in' status.
Suppose that I have empty class ChineseUser in db.py and I am instantiating 
it in default controller like so:

user = ChineseUser()

and I am binding required (by other gluon functions) attributes like so:
user.id = id_taken_from_database
user.email = email_taken_from_database

and I am using auth.user_login(user) to log in the user. 
call of 'if auth.is_logged_in()' confirms the success of logging operation
And within one function all is fine, which means session.auth.user.id 
returns correct id of the user that have been logged in.  

Unfortunately, calling session variables (session.auth.user.id) or 
auth.user.id within other function(s) returns error saying None type(s) 
(session and auth in this case) have no requested attributes (id).

How to provide session and auth (meaning the session and the auth called by 
'my' loggin in method - not the Google LoginService based method) to hold 
their states across functions?

Thanks in advance,
Marcin

 Same problem here!
 The "notnull=True" parameter doesn't append the "NOT NULL" clause for 
 reference fields.
 The IS_IN_DB function activates the check at form-level while the 
 notnull parameter should set the constraint at db-level.

[web2py] Re: Bootstrap is really killing web2py

[Dragan Matic]

Anthony, 

Thanks for the answer, I was aware of that completely. It is just that 
Massimo said that it is trivial to replace BS2 with BS3 yet when I try to 
do it the trivial way and then create a FORM in controller (whether it be 
simple form, sqlform or sqlform.factory) the form looks completely wrong. 
The same is with main menu. 

Now I know that in this case I should create form in HTML using appropriate 
BS3 classes and then use that form in controller but I think you will agree 
that this takes away the ease of use which is one of the main strengths of 
web2py. 

I suppose that was why OP named this thread "Bootstrap is killing web2py". 
I think a lot of web2py users (like myself) are novices in web programming 
and while it may be trivial for versed web programmer to use BS3 with 
web2py it is not the case for the beginners. BS3 is more than a year old 
but I still develop my web apps using BS2 because that is what ships with 
web2py. I don't want to criticize, web2py is an excellent framework but I 
think it needs to ship with BS3, otherwise it will lose a lot of novice 
programmers and I think novice programmers are important because those are 
the future user base of web2py. 

Just my 2c.

[web2py] Add (customer) number to url

[Eric]

Hi,

We need a way to get the customer number into web2py by it's url so we can 
display the corresponding data to the visitor. To keep it easy for the 
visitor this number needs to be visible in every url.

Since the site runs under SSL and we don't want to buy another SSL 
certificate, we're looking for a different solution, so this isn't an 
option:
https://.sub.domain.com

That would be the easy way :)

I was looking at the routers, but I can't figure out how to do something 
like this in an router and have  available in the Python scripts:
https://sub.domain.com//c/f/a?vars=example

Is here anyone with an idea how to create this and have the "" 
accessible in Python? The  is a dynamic value, so zero maintenance 
in the routes would be really, really nice ;)

The number can probably be retrieved from the HTTP_HOST that is available 
in Web2Py, but how to handle the number in a router? I've tried this, but 
that's not working:

# # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

default_controller = 'default'
default_function = 'index'

routers = dict(
   BASE=dict(default_application='app',
   map_static=True,
   map_hyphen=True)
)

routes_in = (
 # Keep admin working
 ('/admin', '/admin'),
 ('/admin/$anything', '/admin/$anything'),

 # Keep appadmin working
 ('/$app/appadmin', '/$app/appadmin'),
 ('/$app/appadmin/$anything', '/$app/appadmin/$anything'),

 ('/$app/$number/$anything', '/$app/$anything'),

)

routes_out = [(x, y) for (y, x) in routes_in]

Thanks for the input!

[web2py] Re: Bootstrap is really killing web2py

[Gael Princivalle]

Hi Anthony.

I think that web2py grids are really powerful and useful. If web2py grids 
are not fully compatible with BS3 for me it's a problem. As websites must 
be generally designed now first for mobile devices, I think that web2py 
front end as to be done with BS3, and responsive.

Dear ceriox,
I think here lie the problem:
https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/gluon/sqlhtml.py#L2602-L2605

look your self, if selectable is not callable its value is passed to
enumerate function...

you can use selectable=lambda _: True instead

hope it could help
Cheers
