[web2py] web2py | video course | license terms
Hello guys, I have become familiar with web2py over the last months and am now playing with the idea of creating a video course. However, I have been wondering for quite some time why there is no current video course on web2py. The only useful video material are the videos from Massimo on Vimeo. They are very informative, but sometimes a bit exhausting to watch, because they are very long and there is no table of contents with time stamp. Also, the video quality is not the best. Now I'm wondering if there are any licensing restrictions for creating a commercial video course. I looked at the LGPLv3, but I can't really figure it out, because it only refers to web2py as a framework, but not to it, if the framework is used as visual material for a course. It would be nice if someone could explain to me if and what there is to consider. Many thanks in advance.

[web2py] Validator IS_NOT_IN_DB not working | web2py
Hello guys,
I'm struggling with a problem that's driving me crazy. The validator
IS_NOT_IN_DB which I use for my object "tag" does not work for me.
# TAG
db.define_table('tag',
Field('name', requires=(IS_SLUG(), IS_LOWER(), IS_NOT_IN_DB(
db, 'tag.name'))),
Field('is_public', 'boolean', default=False, readable=False,
writable=False),
auth.signature,
common_filter = lambda query: db.tag.is_public == True)
db.tag.name.requires = IS_NOT_IN_DB(db, 'tag.name')
As you can see, there are two ways I made sure that no duplicates can be
created, in the name field itself and outside of the table definition.
Registered user can suggest tags:
Although the tag "test" has already been submitted twice I could submit it
a third time.
The function looks as follows:
What I already tried (without improvement):
- adding "unique=True" to the name field
- just using .process() without "onvalidation"
- "ignore_common_filters" on and off
- inside the "my_form_processing"-method I checked if the amount of db
objects with the given name is > 0 , but i could not figure out how to stop
the form from processing
Please let me know how I can fix that problem.
Thanks!
Jay

[web2py] Seeking advice on Heroku db parity
According to this Heroku article https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/development-configuration#dev-prod-parity, subtle differences between Postgres and Sqlite may cause hard to troubleshoot problems when using Sqlite locally and Postgres in production. Web2py includes a script heroku.py that uses a Sqlite db for local development.

Re: [web2py] Init Script in Web2Py
I'm confused as to why this scenario needs caching.
Isn't it true that for an empty user table:
if cache.ram('init',lambda:db(db.auth_user).isempty(),None):
arbitrary_function()
will only cache the boolean value True and keep that value (True) in cache
forever (until the app is restarted), associated with the given key 'init'?
Therefore, only this initial state is remembered. All future executions of
this code will only ever return this initial value (True), therefore the
subsequent arbitrary function will continue to be executed every cycle of
execution.
Am I missing something? Many thanks!

It seems that nobody cares much for web2py, ajax and browser back buttons
:) Nevertheless, I made some progress and thought I'd post some findings
here If anyone searches the group with a similar goal.
Let me describe the problem once again. Imagine a scenario:
1) visitor is on Google, searches for a web2py powered site, finds it,
follows the link
2) site loads
3) visitor sees an internal link which loads a web2py component (ajax
call) with new content, follows the link, component loads
4) visitor reads the content, wants to go back, uses the browser back
button...
5) KABOOM, user is back on Google instead on the first page of the site
which is pretty bad as far as user experience goes.
Anyway, our site has a number of components that can work as regular pages
(.load and .html do the same thing) so what I really need is a way for a
component to tell the browser it has loaded. To solve this, i need to
manipulate the browser history manually.
Sadly, current state of things is pretty messy on the browser side. After
looking at what's available, I found several solutions but none of them
perfect. I decided to give up on Internet Explorer 8 and 9 completely.
Sorry folks, you're on your own. IE 10 *should* work as it comes out...
yes, I believe in Santa. :)
So, the first thing I tried was using the native browser's history API
[1], which all modern HTML5 browsers have (yes, forget IE9). It looks fine
on paper, but the implementation has some problems. Chromium / Chrome
behaves differently than Firefox/Opera/Safari in one crucial point (fires
initial onpopstate, I even managed to crash Chromium) [2], so I had to
abandon using this API directly. If it wasn't for this Chromium issue, it
would be the perfect solution.
Then I tried using the history.js [3]. This project has a long history of
successfully coping with ajax/browser history issues, so I was optimistic.
But sadly, history.js's master branch (version 1.7.1) also works in a way
that pushState and replaceState will immediately trigger onpopstate,
which is not what I wanted [4]. Luckily, the devel branch (1.8.0-dev) got
an additional State.internal [5] with this commit [6], so I can tell if
onpopstate is triggered by the browser's buttons or not.
Ok, long story is coming to an end. It's time for some code. This is what
I'm currently at:
- set the history entry in the component's controller:
response.js =
History.pushState({isMyPageName:1},'','+URL('some','thing',extension=False)+')
-at the end of layout.html:
script
(function(window,undefined){
var History = window.History;
if ( !History.enabled ) {
return false;
}
History.Adapter.bind(window,'statechange',function(){
var State = History.getState();
if (( State.data.isMyPageName == 1 ) ( State.internal
== false )) {
//alert(data: + JSON.stringify(State.data) +
title: + State.title + url: + State.url + internal: +
State.internal);
window.location = State.url;
}
});
})(window);
/script
Ok, that's about it... The solution is flaky at times and I still need to
manipulate document.title, haven't gotten to that yet. But it works,
web2py components can silently change the browser url as they load. And no
#%/ URL hashes and hashbangs...

Thanks for letting me know about web2py's flexibility, Derek. Per your take on OO relevance, I'll slow down on that and dig right into the nuts and bolts of web2py. Fun! On Monday, May 20, 2013 1:22:55 PM UTC-4, Derek wrote: Where does it fall? Probably more near ROCA than SPA, but you can build your apps however you want. It's open enough to allow both of those use cases. OO may be helpful, but it's not necessary with Web2py. Web2py just gives you all the help you need to build your app as quickly as possible. It does so in a way that by default will be secure. As far as future direction? I'm happy with how it is now, I wouldn't want to change it, except perhaps to fork it's core to a smaller wsgi toolset framework. I've written all kinds of web apps, my favorite right now is SPA because it reduces latency, and bandwidth.

Frameworks are opaque and invent a new syntax subject to ambiguities
of parens, square braces, curly braces, dotted names, sometimes
tablenames being implicit, sometimes fieldnames being implicit. Why?
So, I have repeatedly tried to make a link table like the famous dogs
and owners tables in the Web2py book to no avail.
Each time there is a problem I must do the following:
- drop the database from mysql
- stop apache
- stop mysql
- delete the web2py application via the filesystem
- restore the web2py application via the filesystem making sure that
the cache and session files have been deleted
- restart apache
- restart mysql
- create the empty database in mysql
- run the web2py application
But, web2py's DAL fails to create the tables. Because the errors
appear to be in the framework itself, the diagnostics are completely
opaque through several layers of calls. The ultimate error is that one
of the tables is not being created. But, that is circular--that is
because the DAL failed to create the table for a brand new web2py
application in an empty database.
Judging from the references below it is because of a faulty
migration. it's not like the most trivial migrations EVER work. it
appears that some detritus of the previous application or tables
exists so that web2py attempts its failed magic by doing a migration.
So, perhaps the real question is how does one purge every possible
vestige of both the tables and application so that web2py does not try
any of its so-called magic (which is supposed to be very unpythonic,
in any case).
I've wasted nearly 60 hours on web2py and am about to stop wasting any
more time. There seem to be many reasons that php, jquery, and RonR
have dusted python for web development.

[web2py] Validators
In my app some input fields are optional. As an example, currently IS_DATE() forces the date to be present. I was wondering if it makes sense to allow Null or '' (empty) dates and then use IS_NOT_EMPTY() to force a value to be present in that field. In general, does it appeal to web2py users to use this approach? Can we change validators to allow this? I am happy to supply patches for all affected validators, if it is agreeable. It would certainly be more flexible. For now I have been writing a changed copy of the needed validators in my db.py file. Is there a better way to do it?

This is required because you are using the DAL outside web2py

Normally all database insert/updates/deletes are committed at the end
of each action by the framework.

ArrC, the proper way is to start the database using xampp (using control panel, or script) then use web2py. Actually web2py will come up even when the database it not up, but to actually interact with it the db needs to be up. So if yo get something like, failed to ... after 5 tries, just start the db via xampp. db is accessed by network location that is host and port, if those are correct you are good to go.

[web2py] Controller specific models
I've been unable to get my controller specific model to work in 1.96.4. Here's what I've got set up, can anyone point out the error?

Alternatively, if anyone has an example app that demonstrates using controller specific models, I can try running that to see if I've somehow broken web2py. Thanks, Jay
[web2py] Changing columns for TEXTAREA
I thought this might have gotten lost in the philosophical discussions
about line breaks, so figured I'd post it as a separate thread:
Using the advice given in a previous post, I'm doing this to try to
change the rows and columns for a TEXTAREA:
form=SQLFORM(db.contest,record=contest,submit_button=T(Save
Changes),fields=[name,description],_style='width:100%')
form.element('textarea')['_rows']=30
form.element('textarea')['_cols']=80
This works, in that the HTML output does have cols=80 and rows=30.
And the number of rows does change appropriately.
However, the number of columns displayed for the textarea does not
change, despite the HTML having the right value.
Is there something else that could be overriding the number of
columns? Something in Javascript perhaps?

[web2py] Two questions: one about markmin and one about SQLFORM
I've searched, but not found any information that helps me at my current level of web2py experience. Question 1: how do you insert a single line break (e.g. br/) in markmin? I've seen two spaces at the end of lines, but that doesn't seem to work for me. I've seen that you can use br as a separator instead of p, but that isn't what I want. I just want to put a single line break in specific spots in the content. Question 2: How can I alter the attributes of form elements using SLQFORM? Specifically, I want to change the number of rows and columns in a textarea, but I could see wanting to alter attributes of any form element. The answer is probably to create a custom widget for the field in the model, but I haven't been able to come up with anything that has any effect.

[web2py] Re: Multi-Tenant Web2py
SAP the world's biggest ERP program uses the option #3 above. They can host many companies in one system (a system has only one database). Each company has a client number (3 digits). The login screen has four fields. 1. userid, 2. password 3. client# and 4. Language. In the data dictionary - that is the schema - SAP has a field named mandt (shortened german for client) in *every* table that houses user data, but not in tables used by the over all system. The clever thing their runtime does is translate all queries by adding a where clause to include the client number for tables that have the mandt field in them. This is important because users can program the system. Hence cross company data access is prevented. Do you plan to treat all your tenants identically? I have not had a need to do this. I have worked with SAP schema for many years, I just thought you might get some ideas from this.

[web2py] Re: Dynamic virtual fields
I use this method for generating totally dynamic forms.
1. Create an array, say out
2. Append Field(name, type, etc. etc.) to this array for all
fields I need - note this is a string, no function calls
3. Wrap the above in an SQLFORM statement.
formstring = 'SQLFORM.factory(' +','.join(out)+')'
4. Then eval the formstring to get the form
form = eval(formstring)
You can use a similar method to create a table in the database
*** WARNING: I have not tested table creation, but it should work
WARNING: You can create the table, but because the definition of
the table in not in models dir, you will need to keep creating the
table each time you want to access the table.
If this table is to exist long term, you can write the generated text
(like formstring in #3 above) to a file and manually include it in a
model file.
So to answer your question:
Do #1-2 as above
3. Wrap the above in a define_table statement
deftabstring = define_table('tablename,' + ','.join(out)+')' --
add migrate=... as necessary
4. Eval the deftabstring to create the table
mytab = eval(deftabstring)
Assuming you use 'db' to get to the database, you can now user
db.tablename to get to your table. *Keep the second warning in
mind.*
Aside: Many people out there do not like the use of eval, and will
criticize it right away. I use it when it is necessary.
NEVER USE EVAL WHEN THERE IS CHANCE OF USER INPUT IN UNPROCESSED FORM
BEING PART OF WHAT YOU EVAL, because you open a way to get hacked.
NEVER FORGET THIS!
This is where programming gets interesting.

[web2py] Re: Major Speedup in trunk 10x
Thanks Jonathan and Massimo. This makes web2py EVEN more attractive for high end apps. I have one further request: A little history, I use web2py for all heavier lifting (forms and db processing etc.) but use Tornado for serving pages (see http://fon.st ) with links and redirecting links. I want to turn off DAL for some actions like the ones above. The model exists and it is being used for the 'heavy lifting', but for serving links and redirecting I am going through the cache and the loading happens if the request misses in the cache. If I could switch off DAL for either some actions OR some controller(s), I could replace the actions served by Tornado completely with web2py. Under Tornado I can currently serve about 850 URL re-directions per second (checked on the local server) if they are in cache, a lot slower if reading from db. Tornado is running behing Nginx. So, to translate http://host/CVGFsdf87 to http://google.com (assuming data in cache), what is the fastest way to do it using web2py?

Moreover it would only form when called with URL(r=request,...) but

[web2py:37468] Re: Switch from http to https within app
The file is named 0_redefine_url.py and is in my applications/init/
models folder. It contains:
_URL=URL
def URL(*a,**b):
if not 'secure' in b:
return _URL(*a,**b)
elif b['secure']:
del b['secure']
return 'https://'+request.env.http_host + _URL(*a,**b)
else:
del b['secure']
return 'http://'+request.env.http_host + _URL(*a,**b)
Here is the complete traceback:

It might help to see the entire traceback.
A few follow up questions:
1. Did you intend to say 'model' rather than module?
'models'
2. How do I integrate 0_redefine_url.py into my app such that the
URL
helper will accept the keyword argument 'secure'?
The idea is to stick it in applications/yourapp/models/, which makes it
visible to the entire app. The prepended '0' makes it sort to the beginning,
so it's also available to the other model files.
Thanks

I do not think it is a idea because would encourage people to use it
and build non-portable applications.
If users were doing that, the applications may break when running on
port 8000 or would break when being a proxy if it where to detect the
port. There is no definitive way for the app to know the public URL.
Moreover it would only form when called with URL(r=request,...) but
not when called with URL(app,...) because it would have no knowledge
of the request object.
I think whether to use https and/or https should be handled outside
the application.

It *would* be useful, I think. If URL() defaults secure=None ...

Thanks very much for your suggestions. I created the file in models
and modified a url helper to use it and received the following error:
TypeError: URL() got an unexpected keyword argument 'secure'

2. How do I integrate 0_redefine_url.py into my app such that the URL
