[web2py] Re: not web2py question - test timezone detection

[Mirek Zvolský]

Hi,
maybe I don't understand how web2py handles a situation, when some python 
module is required by the web2py plugin.
I think, web2py cannot recognize it as part of the plugin (because of name 
not starting with plugin_...) or I can rename it (and have to identical 
files with standard and non-standard name).
Or is here some solution?

[web2py] auth_user uppercase

[Gael Princivalle]

Hello.

In my db I have this discounts table:
db.define_table('discounts',
Field('user_id', 'reference auth_user'),
Field('brand', 'reference brands', requires = IS_IN_DB(db, 
db.brands.id, '%(name)s'),
  represent=lambda id, r: db.brands[id].name),
Field('xcent', type='double'))

I would like to display the name and first name of the auth_user uppercase.
Something like that:
Field('user_id', 'reference auth_user', requires = IS_IN_DB(db, 
db.auth_user.id, '%(first_name.upper())s %(last_name.upper())s')),
But I've got this error:
'Row' object has no attribute 'upper()'

I've tried also like that, str(first_name).upper(), same error.

Someone have a solution?

Thanks, regards.

[web2py] Query string lost when redirecting through routes.py

[Louis Amon]

Hello,

I'm trying to map this URL 
: localhost:8000/annonces?lat=48.8610181&lng=2.3140934&locality=Paris
To this : localhost:8000/s/paris

(Full-text search hurrayyy)


I'm using the pattern-based routes.py to do that :

routes_in =[...

('/annonces', '301->/s'),
]

But when I try to reach the URL above, I get redirected to 
"localhost:8000/s" with no query string (no request.vars).

This is the rewrite log I get:

routes_app: [127.0.0.1:http://localhost:get /annonces] [jestocke] -> 
jestocke

select routing parameters: jestocke

routes_in: [127.0.0.1:http://localhost:get /annonces] [301->/s\g] 
-> 301->/s

routes_app: [127.0.0.1:http://localhost:get /s] [jestocke] -> jestocke

select routing parameters: jestocke

routes_in: [127.0.0.1:http://localhost:get /s] [/jestocke/offer/search] -> 
/jestocke/offer/search


Am I missing something there ?

[web2py] Routes pattern and args / query strings

[Louis Amon]

I'm opening this thread to discuss pattern-based routing and especially the 
handling of args and vars in an incoming URL.


Based on the doc, you can use a simplified syntax in pattern-based routes 
to avoid struggling with regular expressions:

('/new_name/$anything', '/app/controller/function$anything')

If you do so however, the URL */new_name/args* would be reachable but 
*/new_name* wouldn't and neither would */new_name?this=that*.

One solution I found to this problem is to write instead:

('/s$anything', '/myapp/default/search$anything')

(notice there is no */* before the *$*)

I changed *new_name* to *s* in order to illustrate another issue : if you 
use *$anything* like I just did, you might have conflicts between URLs 
depending on where in the list (routes_in) your put this specific rule.

For instance, routing */static* would be problematic with a */s$anything* 
rule.


In fact, what you really need to route is much less than */s$anything*. As 
far as I can see there are 4 cases:
1. /s
2. /s?vars
3. /s/args
4. /s/args?vars

I guess writing explicity these 4 rules would do the trick much better than 
*/s$anything*, thus avoiding the conflict with /static... but it could also 
become very bulky if you have to write 4 rules for each URL.


Is there a clean way to do this using the pattern-based system ?

[web2py] Re: Routes pattern and args / query strings

[Anthony]

In some cases, $anything isn't powerful enough, and you need to use regular 
expressions.

Anyway, the rules are processed in order, so you should be able to include 
a rule mapping static to static, and then include the /s$anything rule 
(which won't be matched to "static" because the static rule will already 
have matched).

[web2py] Re: Query string lost when redirecting through routes.py

You need to match and copy the query string explicitly:

('/annonces$query', '301->/s$query')

[web2py] Re: auth_user uppercase

[Anthony]

The third argument to IS_IN_DB is the label argument, which can either be 
Python string formatting (to which the Row object will be passed) or a 
function that takes a Row object. You cannot use arbitrary Python code 
inside Python string formatting. Try:

IS_IN_DB(db, db.auth_user.id,
 lambda r: '%s %s' % (r.first_name.upper(), r.last_name.upper()))

That’s actually what I ended up doing, but it isn’t something you can rely on 
in a big project…

I was hoping there would be an alternative, but I guess regular expressions are 
indeed the only option to do things properly.

That’s odd.

I put exactly the rule you proposed but the URL

ended up not being matched at all.

[web2py] Re: auth_user uppercase

Thanks Anthony.

But if I replacing my code with your suggested code I have crashed the 
table:
discounts.table appears corrupted

db.define_table('discounts',
Field('user_id', 'reference auth_user', requires = IS_IN_DB(
db, db.auth_user.id,
lambda r: '%s %s' % (r.first_name.upper(), r.last_name.

  represent=lambda id, r: db.brands[id].name),
Field('xcent', type='double'))

Any idea?

[web2py] Re: confirm

[JorgeH]

I mean, 
in one line you are saying that the object 'form' equals  a class function  
SQLFORM.grid

an object must be equal to a class

Ex
form = SQLFORM



thus.
form = SQLFORM.onefunction .() 
doesn't make sense.


Now, in regard to your main question, check this out:

[web2py] Re: rewrite the controller function for clarity

[Leonel Câmara]

There's nothing wrong with that code. You may want to do additional checks 
on request.args(0), for instance making sure it's an int with 
request.args(0, cast=int) and even that it's an id of a category that 
actually exists (which you may want to use to inform the user why he isn't 
getting any results). Otherwise it's perfectly fine to do it that way.

Re: [web2py] PDF view - set printing page size

Yes, all of us who don't live in english spoken countries share the same
problem.
There are two solutions for this issue, depending on the charset you need.

The easy one is executing:

import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding("latin-1")

In the function you are generating the pdf. This works for me with accents
or spanish ñ.


But, if there are some chars not available in latin-1 encoding (like the
european currency €) the second solution is loading a true type font:

As an example:
import sys

reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding("utf-8")

pdf.add_font('DejaVu', '',os.path.join(request.folder,'static',
'DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf'), uni=True)

This should work like a charm (if you leave the file
DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf  in the static folder of your application)

José L.

[web2py] Reset Password Not Working in Production

[Neil Oswald]

Hi,

Good day!

After clicking the reset_password link I received from email,
I got redirected to the homepage not on the reset password page.

The strange thing is that this problem only occur in my production
site. The reset works perfectly in my local machine.

I've done some checking in firebug and it said something like
a "303 See Other" error.

Any help is appreciated. 

Thanks.

[web2py] web2py framework as iOS app backend

[Amit Kumar]

Hi,

We are deciding backend layer for our iOS and Android mobile app. The app 
will interact with MySQL DB via REST JSON service. The implementation is 
not really complex.

I wanted to check if web2py is a good option for our app. We have been 
looking at multiple python framework - Django, Flask and Web2Py... based on 
the documents it appears that web2py is a good fit. I wanted to check in 
the group if anyone has used web2py for iOS backend. These are going to be 
native iOS and Android apps.

thanks for your time.

I have apps that run as android/ios backend services.

You can use web2py if you like it, I would definitely reccomend it :)

[web2py] web2py menu and CTRL+Click redirect both actual and new tab

[Richard]

Hello,

I am not sure where is it from, but I notice and change in the behavior of 
CTRL + Click over main web2py menu and submenu entry which in the pass were 
only open an new tab conducting the user on the requested page base on menu 
entry link. But now, when doing CTRL + Click over menu and submenu entry 
new tab still get create and pointing over the proper location, but the 
actual page also get redirecting...

Any idea?

I will open a issue on github if you think that actually a regression issue?

Thanks

Richard

[web2py] Re: When not HTTPS i receive TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

[UG]

An update on this is 
i have multiple apps on the same server i am using routes.py to map domains.
 when Apache is restarted the first protocol used will function but then 
the other will not . If i access the app on port 80 all sites will function 
on port 80 and 443 will create the below error and if HTTPS is the firs 
then requests on port 80 will generate the error. 

i have tailed the Apache error logs when this is happening and there is 
nothing.

[web2py] Re: only whole table search instead granular by field in grid?

[Anthony]

One simple option is just to disable the Javascript that shows the drop 
down:

search_input = grid.element('#w2p_directory_keywords')
search_input and search_input.attributes.pop('_onfocus')

You can also create your own search widget (e.g., a simple form with an 
input and submit button) and pass it as the "search_widget" argument to the 
grid.

Finally, by default, the grid will search all searchable fields for the 
keywords. If you want some other behavior (e.g., limit search to particular 
fields), you can pass your own search function to the grid via the 
"searchable" argument.

Did you have a particular API in mind? The parameter-based system is 
designed to be much simpler while cover the most common use cases, but if 
you want something highly customized, there will inevitably be some 
complexity to the rules you set up.

Re: [web2py] Routes pattern and args / query strings

[Niphlod]

BTW... just to synchronize ourself, what the book gives as an example is

('/new_name/$anything', '/app/controller/function*/*$anything')

mind the */* part . This is the only safe way to do what people usually 
want to "translate", that is the app/c/f part, while leaving args and vars 
untouched. You can work around using something like you suggested, but you 
already faced what the developers faced: the utter and complete disaster in 
mapping what comes in .

Of course (if you think to the method a piece of code would convert this to 
a regex) this just maps whatever is coming AFTER /newname/ and not what 
reaches /newname (again, mind the lack of the last /).

Frankly, I'm a bit scared to suggest that your issue (i.e. being accustomed 
on how web2py treats incoming urls in without arguments, which is that 
calling /a/c/f is the same as /a/c/f*/*) can be easily solved by 

('/new_name', '/app/controller/function')

That is, use the import functions of the database the site will use, 
right?  And then use migrate=False and/or fakemigrate to create the DAL's

http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#migrate--fake_migrate>
 
But Abhijit will still have to set up the models file with the correct

[web2py] Re: importing .csv to create DAL object

[Niphlod]

.sql files are files filled with

insert into table(col1, col2, col3) values ('a', 'b', 'c')

web2py can't parse them, and frankly, it doesn't need to. it's a job best 
served by native tools.
it'll better to restore the dump using native tools, then read the section 
on the book 
,
 
which basically resorts to:

1. set migrate=true, fake_migrate_all=true
2. create models accordingly
3. verify that all works fine
4. set fake_migrate_all=false
5. continue working as usual with application development

as previously pointed, 2. can be satisfied (for the most part) with the 
extract_mysql_models.py

 Hi,
 maybe I don't understand how web2py handles a situation, when some
 python module is required by the web2py plugin.
 I think, web2py cannot recognize it as part of the plugin (because of
 name not starting with plugin_...) or I can rename it (and have to
 identical files with standard and non-standard name).
 Or is here some solution?

thanks Anthony,

Javascript didn't work - where does it go?  Tried both in

['DenesL' via web2py-users]

So if anyone prints the 'ul' style form it will have a dropdown for field

while if you could use an (UL, LI, TAG[''] ) wrapper instead, it would look

The latter feels more semantic and is shorter.
Is anyone interested, at least in having a way to provide your own style?.

Is "URL' supposed to be the name of the field, or the type?

Past behavior  was  open top-level menu item, highlight entry for submenu, 
CTRL+click opens new tab which takes you to page corresponding to top-level 
item?

New behavior -- the tab opens as before, but the tab you started on also 
changes to that location?

[web2py] Re: only whole table search instead granular by field in grid?

[Anthony]

My code is not Javascript -- it is Python and goes in the controller where 
you create the grid (note it refers to the "grid"). It *disables* the 
Javascript that triggers the drop down, but it is not Javascript code.

I am happy to not have had to do much  to do much migrating.  The last time 
I had anything close, it was adding fields, and I was in a position to 
re-start with a clean slate, and use CSV files to import into the new 
tables via appadmin.  One of these days my luck will run out, and I'll need 
the above instructions.

Thanks for your patience.

[web2py] Re: adding signature to url after login

[weheh]

Is there any way to work around this issue? It's hanging me up in my 
checkout flow. 

User wants to buy product but must be registered. User gets logged in 
automatically if registration is valid. Is there a way at this point to 
generate a valid signature so that downstream checkout process can use 
URL(..., user_signature=True)? Currently, even though logged in, auth is 
rejecting signature and sending me back to login screen.

[web2py] Re: adding signature to url after login

[Leonel Câmara]

As a workaround, I guess that instead of using next, you could use 
auth.settings.login_onaccept and append a function/lambda that does the 
redirection, in this lambda the user would already be logged in so you 
could generate an URL with a proper signature.

[web2py] Re: web2py framework as iOS app backend

[Matheus Cardoso]

Web2py by itself it is a very easy tool to implement a API REST. However, 
you should attempt to multiple requests to your API, therefore you should 
to look after to your scalability's API. See this subsection in web2py's 
book: 
http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/13/deployment-recipes#Efficiency-and-scalability
Besides that, try to think more in your infra rather than the framework. 
The first thing in my mind is Openshift. It has support for web2py, 
although not native, and scales for you automatically when multiple 
requests (10 per sec, I guess) raises up over the current capability.

Anyone done this before?

[web2py] Re:

[Annet]

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply.

URL is the name of the field. I thought this would not cause any problem
for check_reserved = ['all'] accepted it as a field name.

Kind regards,

Annet

[web2py] Google Cloud Storage in GAE refresh token access

[Jacinto Parga]

Hi, 

I am using Google Cloud Storage (GCS) with web2py.

I've implemented 
( https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/json-api-python-samples 
) it works fine in localhost or in systems where you can write in the 
filesystem.

But in Google App Engine (GAE) you can not write in the filesystem so it 
doesn't create nor update *sample.dat*

 # If the credentials don't exist or are invalid run through the native client
  # flow. The Storage object will ensure that if successful the good
  # credentials will get written back to the file.
  storage = file.Storage('sample.dat')
  credentials = storage.get()
  if credentials is None or credentials.invalid:
credentials = tools.run_flow(FLOW, storage, flags)

  # Create an httplib2.Http object to handle our HTTP requests and authorize it

  # with our good Credentials.
  http = httplib2.Http()
  http = credentials.authorize(http)

  # Construct the service object for the interacting with the Cloud Storage API.
  service = discovery.build('storage', _API_VERSION, http=http)


The result is that anytime I deploy it in GAE it works fine until the 
*token* stored in *sample.dat * expires. As soon as it expires it cannot 
update the file so the access is revoked.

Maybe I can change the file *sample.dat*  for a variable stored in a table, 
something like this. 

db.define_table('t_sample',
Field('f_sampledat', type='text',  label=T('Mensaje')))

But I haven't found how to do it right, how to store the content of 
sample.dat and to access it in the same way. Any suggestion.

The sample.dat file is like this:

{"_module": "oauth2client.client", "token_expiry": "2015-02-25T20:17:48Z", 
"access_token": "", 
"token_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token";, "invalid": false,
 "token_response": {"access_token": 
"x", "token_type": 
"Bearer", "expires_in": 3600}, "client_id": 
"xx.apps.googleusercontent.com", "id_token":
 null, "client_secret": "xxx", "revoke_uri": 
"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/revoke";, "_class": "OAuth2Credentials"
, "refresh_token": 
"x", 
"user_agent": null}
