[web2py] Re: Web2py in combination with mod_python

[Grezly]

No, my host doesn't provide FastCGI access, so i need to use
mod_python.

 The procedure using FastCGI works well.   Does your host provide any
 access FastCGI?

[web2py] Web2py in combination with mod_python

[Grezly]

I'm trying now for a few days to get web2py working with mod_python
(on a shared hosting). Because i have no other options of configuring
apache or anything else.

I did find a small tutorial on how to configure web2py with
mod_python. (http://www.web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/show/231).

So far i have the following:
.htaccess
===
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler web2py_modpython
PythonPath ['/path/to/web2py/public_html/'] + sys.path
PythonDebug On
SetEnv SITE_URL '/welcome'

I've also downloaded the web2py_modpython.py.
At first i had some problems with req.subprocess_env['SITE_URL']  in
web2py_modpython.py but found out that setting the enviroment variable
did solve the problem.
So right now i have set the SITE_URL by hand to 'welcome', which
workes, but only for the application. The static files aren't served.
(I only get the text back, links

I did read something that i have to use mod_rewrite, but can't find
information about this specific for web2py.
Does someone has the basic of web2py working with mod_python/apache?
Did i miss something to set? Or did i misconfigure something?

[web2py] Re: Model with 2 fields were one field is required

[grezly]

Thanks Massimo,

The fieldnames are arbitrary, i indeed use different names for it (not
even start(_time) or end(_time) )
What i indeed needed was the onvalidation for a crud.

Cheers

 first of all start and end and sql keywords you should choose another

 I suggest

 db.define_table('event',Field('title'),Field('start_time'),Field('end_time'))

 def exclusive(form):
     if form.vars.start_time and form.vars.end_time:
         form.errors.end_time = 'you already filled start time')
     elif not form.vars.start_time and not form.vars.end_time:
         form.errors.estart_time = 'you must fill start time or end
 time')

 then use
 form = crud.create(db.event,onvalidation=exclusive)
 and/or
 form = crud.update(db.event,id,onvalidation=exclusive)

[web2py] Change upload behaviour: standard filename

[grezly]

I'd like to change the default behaviour for one app, concerning my
uploads. Web2py normally rename the uploaded file, but in my
particular case, web2py doesn't need to change my filename.

Is something possible, while creating my model?

Next to that i also like to store a hash of a file in my database.
With the standard crud i can't change this behaviour.
I also can't find such a functionality right now in web2py/crud, or
did i miss something?

[web2py] Multilanguage wiki

[Grezly]

I'm trying to create a multilanguage wiki with the plugin_wiki.
I know i can create just a few pages with different slugs
(corresponding to the language) for the same article, but what i can't
figure out is how to create a menu, using meta-menu or another way,
that belongs to a specific language.
