[web2py] Re: how to rewrite an URL to drop a function name showing in the address bar

[98ujko9]

I chose pattern-based  rewrite because I don't know better. Please know 
that I am only temporary part time web coder relying on web2py book 100% 
with understanding at about 60%. Being a mature person I am fond of 
eloquence in life as well as in URL's however complexity has its price. I 
sense from what you are  saying I should stick with parametric router or 
leave it alone and keep the "asset" function where it naturally is .  A 
quick sketch of what I am having fun with:



Thanks in advance.

[web2py] Re: web2py 2.15.3 is OUT

[Anthony]

It's not clear how that would be related to response.js, as it appears the 
code returned via response.js is in fact being executed in the browser. 
It's hard to say what's going wrong in the browser without knowing more 
about the JS and what the DOM looks like at that point.

[黄祥]

it seems response.js have a different behaviour in new version
e.g. (the same code work well in 2.14.6)
...
if form.process().accepted:
...
target_response = "jQuery('#test .close').click(); 
jQuery('#test').get(0).reload()"
response.js =  target_response
#redirect(request.env.http_web2py_component_location, client_side = 
True)

in 2.14.6, after the form submited it automatically reload the web2py 
component and the page still responding, while in the latest version the 
modal is closed, the component data is reload with new value but the page 
is not responding, just have the dark silouette of the page, the solution 
is must refresh the page or append :
redirect(request.env.http_web2py_component_location, client_side = True)
is it normal or did i missed something in the latest version ?

thanks and best regards,

[web2py] Re: how to rewrite an URL to drop a function name showing in the address bar

[Anthony]

Got it. Next, provide more detail regarding your current code/setup. Is 
there any particular reason you need to be using the pattern-based rewrite 
system? If so, you'll just need to create a regex that matches the route in 
question, or create a regex that matches all the other possible functions 
in the controller and create a fallback route *after* that to direct to the 
"asset" function.

[web2py] Re: Is it posible to fallback to static files when a controller is not found?

[Alfonso Serra]

Simpler and better approach:

routes_in = (
# do not reroute admin unless you want to disable it
(BASE + '/admin', '/admin/default/index')
, (BASE + '/admin/$anything', '/admin/$anything')
# do not reroute appadmin unless you want to disable it
, (BASE + '/$app/appadmin', '/$app/appadmin/index')
, (BASE + '/$app/appadmin/$anything', '/$app/appadmin/$anything')

# default controller
, ('/', '/%s/default/index' % default_application)
, ('/$c', '/%s/$c/index' % default_application)
, ('/$c/$f', '/%s/$c/$f' % default_application)
, ('/$anything', '/%s/static/$anything' % default_application)
, (BASE + '/$anything', '/$anything')
]

routes_out = (
# do not reroute admin unless you want to disable it
('/admin/$anything', BASE + '/admin/$anything')
# do not reroute appadmin unless you want to disable it
, ('/$app/appadmin/$anything', BASE + '/$app/appadmin/$anything')
)

Works well, I have to put aside web2py default autoroutes but this is what 
i wanted.

I still dont quite get routes_out, when a route is coming from the app? 
only on redirections? Thanks.

[web2py] Re: Is it posible to fallback to static files when a controller is not found?

[Alfonso Serra]

Think i got it:

routes.py:
routes_onerror = [
# (r'init/400', r'/init/default/login')
# ,(r'init/*', r'/init/static/fail.html')
# ,(r'*/404', r'/init/static/cantfind.html')
('*/*', '/myapp/default/handle_error')
]

In app/default.py

def handle_error():
code = request.vars.code
url = request.vars.request_url
uri = request.vars.requested_uri
ticket = request.vars.ticket
if uri:
redirect("/myapp/static" + uri)
return "Error"

This way we can set static files as they were in the root directory, no 
need to prefix with /static.
I have to polish this to implement 404's or 500's but would be a start. 

Any other suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.

Do you use another function as the default within the "showcase" 
controller? If not, you can define "asset" as the default function just for 
the "showcase" controller using the parameter-based router. Alternatively, 
you can use the default function to handle the above routes by checking for 
a URL arg and returning the appropriate response. For example, if the 
default function is "index":

def index():
if not request.args:
[code currently in the "index" function]
else:
[code currently in the "asset" function]

Finally, you could use the pattern-based rewrite system, though that can 
start to get complex.

[web2py] Re: change_password validator

[Anthony]

First, the default validator is not IS_STRONG -- it is simply CRYPT with 
min_length set to auth.settings.password_min_length (which defaults to 4).

Second, on the password change form, the validator is not ignored, but the 
min_length of CRYPT is set to 1 for the "Old Password" field only (this is 
not a problem, because the only validation that matters for the old 
password is that it matches the password stored in the database). The "New 
Password" field is validated with whatever validators have been defined for 
the password field.

I was able to setup IS_STRONG like this:

db.auth_user.password.requires.insert(0, IS_STRONG())

Be careful, after doing this users wont be able to log in if their password 
is not strong, validated.

[web2py] Is it posible to fallback to static files when a controller is not found?

[Alfonso Serra]

im trying to fallback to the static folder when a controller is not found, 
for example:
a route like:


img is not a defined controller so i would like to redirect this route to 
"/static/img/mypicture.png", how do i do that?

I have tried:

BASE = ''  # optonal prefix for incoming URLs
fixed_routes = [
 # do not reroute admin unless you want to disable it
(BASE + '/admin', '/admin/default/index')
, (BASE + '/admin/$anything', '/admin/$anything')
# do not reroute appadmin unless you want to disable it
, (BASE + '/%s/appadmin' % default_application, '/%s/appadmin/index' % 
default_application)
, (BASE + '/%s/appadmin/$anything' % default_application, 
'/%s/appadmin/$anything' % default_application)
]

# for some reason using the variable $app raises a server error. 
IndexError: unknown group name: 'app'
routes_in = fixed_routes + [
('/', '/%s/default/index' % default_application)
, ('/$c', '/%s/$c/index' % default_application)
, ('/$c/$anything', '/%s/$c/index/$anything' % default_application)
, ('/$anything', '%s/static/$anything' % default_application)
]

routes_out = [(x[1], x[0]) for x in routes_in]

but does not look like $c cares about the string is a controller or not so 
'/$anything' rerouting to the static folder never triggers.

Shall i try routes on error? Any tips on how to do that?
What kind of response is sent when a static file is not found?

Thanks in advance.

[web2py] Re: how to rewrite an URL to drop a function name showing in the address bar

[Alfonso Serra]

A solution would be to use routes.py
in there you can place something like
routes_in = [
 ('/stock/showcase/$anything', '/stock/showcase/index/$anything')
]
and use the index function to do whatever you like with the view.
You redirect everything through the index function so you wont be able to 
use another ones, like assets maybe. It all depends on how do you want to 
structure your app routes.
