[web2py] Markmin best practices

[St. Pirsch]

I have some noob questions on how to use Markmin correctly: 
Is there a way to link pictures within markmin, i.e. to produce  ?
I noticed that anchors get the prefix "markmin-" automatically. I guess 
there is a concept behind this decision, but I do not see the reason & is 
there a way to circumvent this behaviour?
Maybe there is a more in depth documentation beyond 
http://web2py.googlecode.com/hg/applications/examples/static/markmin.html 
with more info on how to apply custom styles and other modifications? 
Thanks -Stephan

[web2py] Static content seems to load with a 404 error... uwsgi nginx

[Encompass solutions]

I have setup uwsgi and I seem to be very close to having everything working.
It just seems that my static data is not loaded now. (css, images, so forth)
This is my nginx file with the web2py applicaiton in it.

[web2py] Re: Has anyone done a detailed security analysis or attempted a methodical attack on web2py?

[Ian Ryder]

Hi, just looking back over anything about penetration testing and web2py - 
does anyone know of any recent (or any at all) testing of web2py? We're 
getting close to our first customers on an app we've been developing the 
last year so really need to try and pick it to pieces now while we have a 
few months to work on anything we need to.

Thanks
Ian

[web2py] Re: Web2py celery plugin

Hello mark! thanks for you answer.

Your approach sounds really nice, but exactly how you run a cron task 
inside web2py environment? you start the web2py client with the console 
option and there execute the task? may you give me an example of this?

 Why i am asking this is because i want to generate around 150 pdf's by

 Could this be done by the build in web2py Scheduler?

 PS: i tried the scheduler, but it tries to use the generic.html view 
 but has not enough settings provided in the layout.html to use it, it 
 fails.
 is is not so that it executes the function from the model with database

 Thanks for responding!

[web2py] Re: Web2py celery plugin

[Mark Graves]

Luis,

I've never personally used celery to queue tasks to execute in a web2py 
environment.

I found myself in a similar situation recently and just used a cron task 
running a python script in the web2py environment from the command line.

Is there a particular reason this workflow would not work for you?

Re: [web2py] keyError

[Alex Glaros]

It works Denes, thanks.

Here is the version needed for my app

 {{cc=[]}}
{{for x in location_data['postalcodes']:}}
{{c=x['countryCode']}}
{{if c not in cc:}}
{{cc.append(c)}}
  
  {{countryName=db(db.Country.countryCode==c).select(limitby=(0,1)).first()}}
{{=A(countryName.countryName, 
_href=URL('default','select_city_from_postal_code', 
vars=dict(vars=request.vars, specificCountryID = countryName.id, 
your_postal_code=your_postal_code)))}}
{{pass}}
{{pass}}

Much appreciated. Sure beats downloading 43,000 postal codes,

Alex

Re: [web2py] Re: Web2py celery plugin

[Mark Graves]

As documented in the web2py book,

The "web2py.py" script can take many command-line arguments specifying the
maximum number of threads, enabling of SSL, etc. For a complete list type:

>>> python web2py.py -h

For example, a shell script called async_events.sh can be called at
reboot as follows:

#! /bin/bash

cd /home/www-data/web2py

python web2py.py -S YOUR_APPLICATION_NAME -M -R
applications/YOUR_APPLICATION_NAME/private/async_events.py


The contents of async_events.py are a simple python script run as if it
were a request from web2py

For example:

import time



def create_pdfs(db):
> while True:
> ALL YOUR PDF PROCESSING LOGIC HERE

time.sleep(60)

>



create_pdfs(db)



The above is an example script where your create_pdfs function handles all
the processing logic.

The time.sleep(60) means run every minute.

You would run this task once @reboot so python would handle the interval
between tasks.

>From there, you can use all the internal web2py API including mail.send()
etc

[web2py] Re: ST_X function on POSTGIS geography() fields

['DenesL' via web2py-users]

How do you propose to code those functions if they are not available in the 
DB engine?.
MS SQL Server does have functions to extract longitude and latitude data 
from geography points but PostGIS does not seem to have them.

I can send in a patch for MSSQL with the following extended methods: Lat 
Long M Z
(last two being measure and elevation info)
and more functions are available depending on the version of MSSQL.

 But how can you exec a web2py task (who may uses web2py internal 
 components like Request, response, db, etc..) with a external celery app? 
 i 
 mean, if i wish to execute a task, for example: To insert a new register 
 in 
 a table of my web2py database, and in enqueue this task to a remote (or 
 local) celery worker to do it, how i can get this worker to know about all 
 the "environment" of web2py? the only idea i have its creating a worker 
 that is aware of the web2py environment, but i dont know how to do this.

 There is anyway to use celery queue to execute tasks that requires the 
 web2py environment?

[web2py] Re: Static content seems to load with a 404 error... uwsgi nginx

[Anthony]

location ~* /(\w+)/static/ {
root /home/www-data/web2py/applications/;

should be:

location ~* /(\w+)/static/ {
root /var/www/web2py/applications/;

Also, you'll need to repeat that configuration in the SSL section if you 
want nginx to serve static files via HTTPS as well.
