[web2py] Re: Bare Login using API key

[lyn2py]

Hi Massimo, in case you missed this, this is a call out, I hope you can 
shed some light on this.

If I would like to do something like:

http://api_key:api_secret@some_url.com/default/call/jsonrpc

Re: [web2py] Web2py Forms and Javascript

[Jesse Ferguson]

The service order on the right is what is completed in the field by the 
techs. (The part they bring me). The form on the left is what our company 
calls a Work-Up. The work up Is created by me by taking the service orders 
information and the information from a rolodex card. The rolodex card (not 
pictured) contains just basic information about the company and location 
(mileage to charge and hours). then i scan them both just as pictured and 
send them to main office.

My first reaction is, "Sweet!"  The explanation is nice and simple and the 
hooks look very usable.  Now I just have to learn to use the scheduler   ;-)
(I haven't need it yet, but I've been reading along with the posts here, so 
I have a vague idea of what to do.)

I would take a look at the tools used by web2py to make the Windows 
installation package that you download from web2py.com.   The toolset 
changed a few months back; there was some discussion of that here and 
probably more on the web2py developers group.

There are Windows installation packages for Apache; I don't know if NginX 
has done that yet.  My impression of IIS is that if you already know it, it 
works fine, but it can be a pain to learn how to set it up.  Rocket might 
be enough if you can front it with an appropriate process launcher; it's 
small but I hear that it seems to have plenty of capability in the right 
environment.

Good luck!

I'm not sure you are making apps on web2py.com.   That's the web2py site.

If you've downloaded the web2py executable and are running it on a local 
machine, that machine is *your* server.  Sometimes that machine can be 
visible to the world for web access, but it's more common to access that 
machine only on a local area network (LAN) (your LAN  can be big or small 
... maybe just 2 machines, say a desktop and a laptop, on the same wifi 
segment).  The local machine is used for a "development server" where you 
try out and debug your code.  Then when you're ready for a wider audience, 
you find a host service and set up an account that will run your 
"production server".  The hosting service takes care of the nuts and bolts 
of server hardware and routers and suitable ISP connections, and their 
customer service will often be able to get you started on installing your 
OS (some hosts come with the OS pre-installed) and other software setup 
issues.


Some of the widely available hosting services mentioned around here (that 
is, in posts to the Web2py Google Groups discussion forum) include  Python 
Anywhere, Google App Engine, Digital Ocean, DreamHost, heroku, HostGator, 
and  BeagleBone.  There are also plenty of local hosting services in many 
cities, and some allow physical access to "your" server.

The hosting service typically provides a "virtual machine" or VM, and and 
it can be helpful if you've used one of those before you go to open your 
account.  Get VMWare Player of Virtual Box or Xen and try some simple 
setups.  This is also a good, cheap way to learn a different OS (if, say, 
you're a Windows person but you want to use a flavor of Linux as well), or 
how to set up and maintain some software packages (Apache or NginX, for 
instance).  You can even do your development server in a VM and then your 
network is just one piece of hardware with a "virtual ethernet" connection.

If all this made your eyes glaze over, relax and take it a little bit at a 
time.  Practice the samples in the book, find Massimo's videos, continue to 
read the group and to visit some of the sites people here show off, and it 
will come to you.

Re: [web2py] Web2py Forms and Javascript

[Jesse Ferguson]

I am working to move the company from paper to electronic, I work in a remote 
office and have to fax all of this right now.

basic workflow:
   Service Orders Created in the field at Job site get delivered to me every 
day.
   I take the service order and create a workup (basically an invoice) using a 
rolodex of company/location details (Price List, ACCCODE, ATTN TO, PO#, ETC..)
   I then fax all the service orders and workups at the end of the week to our 
main office.

I think I have figured out the schema but if you could take a look and see if 
you can find any obvious errors please let me know.. I will attach code in next 
reply

Do you need to make sure the client code is using unicode when it builds 
the URL (and/or POST data) before it ships it to you?

Do you control the client code, or is it third-party software that you are

Re: [web2py] Re: Python and Web2py course

[Richard Vézina]

If I would teach, I do it like that. I propose some project to students,
they have to pic one and then you deconstruct the project in small pieces
that are the differents courses themes and you start with the easier thing
and you increase the chalange progressively until you finalize the app
project.

Project idea :

Phone Directory
Invoice system
Etc.

[web2py] Re: How can I set correctly auth.settings.registration_requires_verification = False ?

You are right. With that code the used should be able to register and

This usually works. We cannot help you without looking at your code.

[web2py] Re: emailing a pdf view as an attachment

[Massimo Di Pierro]

Yes. In at least three ways. web2py ships with pyfpdf (in gluon.contrib) 
which converts html to pdf. Once you make the file you can also add as an 
attachment to an email (look the web2py email API). You can install/unzip 
reportlab in web2py/site-packages and use that alternatively. Also, if you 
run on a linux/mac machine you can install LaTeX and call that for the 
conversion, but use it only if you know latex already.

[web2py] Select table's fields to be displayed in views

[Kuba Kozłowicz]

I'd like to display more fields for a few particular tables in my system or 
to be able to control exactly which fields will be displayed. I want it to 
be available in following compontents:
- list of tables' entries ( I am using smartgrid )
- view page ( I am using the default view-page )
- edit page ( I am using the default edit-page )

I also want user to be able to search/filter by these fields, that I am 
going to add. 

I tried playing with 'fields' attribute of smartgrid function, but I did 
not manage to get it working. Basically I want to get Date fields like 
'created_on', 'modified_on', which are created by default for every table, 
but not displayed by default and hide some fields specified by myself, but 
that are not necessarly so important to be displayed.

How can I do that?

What does "writable=false if forms" mean and WHAT should I apply this to?

And where should I plug this "URL('mydownload', ... ) into? Sorry, but I

 I have three tables:

 - invoices
 - invoice summaries
 - invoice bundles

 The website I am working on provides such a functionality, that user 
 uploads a file, from which invoices and invoice summaries are generated 
 and 
 after being generated they are zipped and put into a bundle.

 For each upload I create following structure for storing these files:

 invoices/
  //>/
 summaries/
  //>/
 bundles/
  //>/



 So I end up having something that looks like this

 invoices/
  /1//
 /invoice1.pdf
 /invoice2.pdf
  /2//
 /invoice1.pdf
 /invoice2.pdf
  /3//
 /invoice1.pdf
 /invoice2.pdf
 summaries/
  /1//
 /summary1.pdf
  /2//
 /summary1.pdf
  /3//
 /summary1.pdf
 bundles/
  /1//
 /bundle.zip
  /2//
 /bundle.zip
  /3//
 /bundle.zip




 where inner folder name is ID of recently created bundle.

 Now to provide CRUD functionality I am using SMART GRID and I want to 
 be able to display the file of invoice, summary, bundle entries ( by 
 displaying I mean I want to display file's name and allow downloading it 
 ), 
 when a user either chooses VIEW in the SMART GRID or when he looks at the 
 list of entries. Since I've chosen my own folder structure for storing 
 these invoices, summaries and bundles I can't do it in a simple way, 
 because Web2py uses its own mechanism to store and retrieve files and 
 changse file's name. So in each of these tables I store the following 
 fields:
 Field('f_invoice_file_path', type='string')
 Field('f_invoice_file', 'upload')



 what I wanted to do is something like this:

 def on_before_insert_invoice(fields, id):
 db(db.t_invoice.id == id).update(
 f_invoice_file=fields['f_invoice_file_path']
 )
 db.t_invoice._before_insert.append(
 on_before_insert_invoice
 )

 , here actually *fields* contains a list of tuples in following format 
 (field, value) so I had to iterate over it to find fields[
 'f_invoice_file_path'], I just omitted this part for brevity.

 , but I get following error and most likely it is not the proper way to 
 do that:

 *** RuntimeError: Unable to handle upload

 Note that the field:

 Field('f_invoice_file_path', type='string')

 is saved correctly, I just need somehow to make upload field point to 
 that location. The next weird thing is that variable *fields* doesn't 
 contain field Field('f_invoice_file', 'upload')
 , even though I added it to the model, settings.migrate is set to True, 
 and server has been restarted.

 How can I do it?

[web2py] template de instalação de aplicação web2py no windows

[Hains Hausmann Junior]

Olá!

Estou tentando fazer (ou encontrar um exemplo) um template de um instalador 
de aplicações we2py para windows.
Quero instalar o web2py, a aplicação desenvolvida (compilada em pyc), e um 
servidor web melhor, (exemplo nginx) que não seja o do web2py.
Rodar o servidor web com a aplicação web2py como serviço ou rodar de outra 
forma em background com um ícone na bandeja do sistema e iniciar junto com 
o windows.

O inno setup tem resolvido alguns problemas, e provavelmente irá resolver 
os outros, mas gostaria da opinião do pessoal,
se alguém já fez algo parecido, se tem algumas dicas de de como montar a 
stack servidor/app, exemplos de configurações padrões 
para casos genérico de sistema CRUD.

Quero fazer um instalador para uma aplicação pequena de CRUD 
(inicialmente), que vai ser instalado no windows,
e usado tanto local como remoto por apenas algum usuários.

Se alguém tiver algumas dicas ou exemplo, ficarei agradecido.
Att
Hains

[web2py] applications/app/languages

[Carl Hunter Roach]

Each file in applications/app/languages has a line:
# -*- coding: utf8 -*-

I've had to ammend this to:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

otherwise an exception is thrown in \Python\lib\encodings\utf_8.py (see 
below).

utf-8 is the standard term rather than utf8.

My question: does anyone know why all the language files in Web2py are 
parsed when using GAE Search? It'd be good if I could get the system to 
skip this step.

Exception stack...

[web2py] Re: Upload field custom manipulation

[Kuba Kozłowicz]

Ok so I've already figured out what you meant.

I should set 'writable' attribute of this field in db_wizard.py to False in 
order to prevent this field from being overwritten in forms. Then change 
type from 'string' to 'upload'  and apply URL('mydownload') to 'represent' 
attribute of this field and then specify 'mydownload' function in 
controllers. Complete solution looks like this now:

db_wizard.py
db.define_table('t_invoice',
Field('f_invoice_file_path', type='upload', writable=False,
  label=T('Invoice File')),

db.t_invoice.f_invoice_file_path.represent = lambda value, row: A('Download'
, _class='download_btn', _href=URL('mydownload', args=value))

controllers/management.py
def mydownload():
fullname = request.raw_args
response.stream(fullname)

Thanks for help!

 I have three tables:

 - invoices
 - invoice summaries
 - invoice bundles

 The website I am working on provides such a functionality, that user 
 uploads a file, from which invoices and invoice summaries are generated 
 and 
 after being generated they are zipped and put into a bundle.

 For each upload I create following structure for storing these files:

 invoices/
  //>/
 summaries/
  //>/
 bundles/
  //>/



 So I end up having something that looks like this

 invoices/
  /1//
 /invoice1.pdf
 /invoice2.pdf
  /2//
 /invoice1.pdf
 /invoice2.pdf
  /3//
 /invoice1.pdf
 /invoice2.pdf
 summaries/
  /1//
 /summary1.pdf
  /2//
 /summary1.pdf
  /3//
 /summary1.pdf
 bundles/
  /1//
 /bundle.zip
  /2//
 /bundle.zip
  /3//
 /bundle.zip




 where inner folder name is ID of recently created bundle.

 Now to provide CRUD functionality I am using SMART GRID and I want to 
 be able to display the file of invoice, summary, bundle entries ( by 
 displaying I mean I want to display file's name and allow downloading it 
 ), 
 when a user either chooses VIEW in the SMART GRID or when he looks at the 
 list of entries. Since I've chosen my own folder structure for storing 
 these invoices, summaries and bundles I can't do it in a simple way, 
 because Web2py uses its own mechanism to store and retrieve files and 
 changse file's name. So in each of these tables I store the following 
 fields:
 Field('f_invoice_file_path', type='string')
 Field('f_invoice_file', 'upload')



 what I wanted to do is something like this:

 def on_before_insert_invoice(fields, id):
 db(db.t_invoice.id == id).update(
 f_invoice_file=fields['f_invoice_file_path']
 )
 db.t_invoice._before_insert.append(
 on_before_insert_invoice
 )

 , here actually *fields* contains a list of tuples in following format 
 (field, value) so I had to iterate over it to find fields[
 'f_invoice_file_path'], I just omitted this part for brevity.

 , but I get following error and most likely it is not the proper way to 
 do that:

 *** RuntimeError: Unable to handle upload

 Note that the field

I agree with you, but it is web2py (gluon) which process the arguments. 
This error occurs before entering my function.

[web2py] TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

[Marco]

Hi,

 I have followed your tutorial for the RESTful api.
 I am getting the following error though on POST.
 
 Here is the code snippet:

*def POST(table_name,**vars):*

*return db[table_name].validate_and_insert(**vars)*


 Here is the db model


* db.define_table("entries", Field("entry", "text"))*

 And here is the way I call it


curl  -d "entry=322332" http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/default/api/entries.json


The database operation works just fine. I see the entry created in the 
table.

But I would like the script to return the id of the created entry and it is 
right now throwing an exception instead.


This is for the Google App Engine developer environment of Web2Py.

[web2py] Working with MSSQL with codepage other than latin1 or unicode

[Алексей Котряхов]

Hello web2pyers

I have a problem with encoding when I work with MSSQL with codepage other 
than latin1 or unicode
Here is my DB connection

dbsol = DAL 
('mssql://user:password@w2ptkts/SacuraOnline',
 db_codec = 'cp1251', migrate_enabled = False)

I'm successfully read and and view any tables from my DB.
But when I try to write to my DB, I see strange behavior, like occuring 
unwanted (or excessive) encoding.

Here is example



Also got an error while saving the profile with Cyrillic letters



I got the following ticket

Re: [web2py] Restful authentication and CORS

[Albert Abril]

Hi Christian,

I'm trying to set up my app as a oauth2 provider too,
did you use https://github.com/SamuelMarks/web2py-oauth2 , or another
source? do you have any tutorials or documentation about it? I'll
appreciate it so much.

Cheers,
Albert.

 Sorry for late response. I am a web2py veteran who dives into restful
 world only recently. Do you have any finding to share about the restful
 authentication in web2py? Thanks in advance!

[web2py] Re: response.js does not load div

[Richard]

Niphlod ,

Thank you for the support. It appeared that I did not make an ajax call; in 
the controller request.ajax was False. This was because a simple form in a 
view does not generate an ajax call. Is this correct?

if form1.process(formname='form_one').accepted:
response.js= "web2py_component('%s','graph1')" % URL('default','graph1') 

So now I can generate successive forms and graphs.

[web2py] scheduler new feature: task dependencies

[Niphlod]

Hi @all,
   we have another feature in trunk for the scheduler... Jobs (i.e. task 
dependencies)

Directly from https://github.com/niphlod/w2p_scheduler_tests/ (that has 
been updated to accomodate the new feature explanation...)


What are "Jobs", you ask ? Well, it's a way to coordinate a set of tasks 
that have dependencies (what in Celery is called "Canvas").

As always, the Scheduler sticks to the basics. Every Job is considered to 
be a DAG (a  Directed Acyclic Graph 
).
Without going into silly details, every task can have one or more 
dependencies, but of course you can't have mutual dependencies among the 
same tasks.
If a "job" can't be represented as a DAG, then it can't be processed in its 
entirety. You can still queue it, but it won't ever complete (i.e. you 
could have a
  complete stall at the first task or just a task left on 100 queued...)

So... what can you do ?
Let's take a trivial example (there are a few based on mathematics, 
map/reduce, etc... but hey, this is an example!!!)
Suppose you need to create a job that describes what is needed to get 
dressed ( thanks to http://hansolav.net/sql/graphs.html )...

We have a few items to wear, and there's an "order" to respect...
Items are: watch, jacket, shirt, tie, pants, undershorts, belt, shoes, socks

Now, we can't put on the tie without wearing the shirt first, etc...





Suppose we have those tasks queued in a controller (for example's sake, the 
same function, with different task_name(s))...
watch = s.queue_task(fname, task_name='watch')
jacket = s.queue_task(fname, task_name='jacket')
shirt = s.queue_task(fname, task_name='shirt')
tie = s.queue_task(fname, task_name='tie')
pants = s.queue_task(fname, task_name='pants')
undershorts = s.queue_task(fname, task_name='undershorts')
belt = s.queue_task(fname, task_name='belt')
shoes = s.queue_task(fname, task_name='shoes')
socks = s.queue_task(fname, task_name='socks')


Now, there's a helper class to construct and validate a "job".
First, let's declare a job named "job_1"


#from gluon.scheduler import JobGraph
myjob = JobGraph(db, 'job_1')



Next, we'd need to establish dependencies


# before the tie, comes the shirt
myjob.add_deps(tie.id, shirt.id)
# before the belt too comes the shirt
myjob.add_deps(belt.id, shirt.id)
# before the jacket, comes the tie
myjob.add_deps(jacket.id, tie.id)
# before the belt, come the pants
myjob.add_deps(belt.id, pants.id)
# before the shoes, comes the pants
myjob.add_deps(shoes.id, pants.id)
# before the pants, comes the undershorts
myjob.add_deps(pants.id, undershorts.id)
# before the shoes, comes the undershorts
myjob.add_deps(shoes.id, undershorts.id)
# before the jacket, comes the belt
myjob.add_deps(jacket.id, belt.id)
# before the shoes, comes the socks
myjob.add_deps(shoes.id, socks.id)



Then, we can ask JobGraph if what we asked is a job that is accomplishable

myjob.validate('job_1')

And voilà, job done! If it's not a DAG, then an exception will be raised 
and the jobs won't be committed (of course their dependencies won't be 
committed too)

How it works under the hood ?

There's a new table called scheduler_task_deps that holds a reference to 
the job_name, the task parent, the task child and
a boolean to mark the "path" (the arrows in the graph) as "visitable".
To be fair, the job name isn't that important, you can have task 
dependencies amongst
different jobs, it's just not that easy to verify that the Job is a DAG at 
a later stage.
If a path is "visitable" it means that the DAG graph can be "walked" in 
that direction.
Every time a task gets "COMPLETED", the "paths" gets updated to be 
"visitable". The algo to pick up tasks has been updated
to work fetching only tasks that have no dependencies, or dependencies that 
have already been satisfied (i.e. tasks that depends
on nothing, or tasks that depend on tasks that are yet COMPLETED).


Let me know what you think, and if you spot bugs.

[web2py] Re: web2py vs others. Status of 2014

[Joe Barnhart]

I look forward to Massimo's improvements.

One of the continuing thorns in my side is that a significant number of my 
users are still on XP and IE8 -- about 15% -- and my users are in 
California.  I can only imagine the ratio would be higher in middle America 
where the tall corn grows.  I could choose to ignore these users, but they 
have money to spend and I want to get it.

As we move to more client-heavy designs, it means more javascript and more 
chances that it won't run in antique computers.  I can't leave 15% of my 
revenue on the table.  

On the other hand, more and more of my users are on mobile platforms, which 
fits perfectly with the heavy client approach.

Agh!

-- Joe
