[web2py] The new Instant Press CMS

[netcode]

Has anyone tried the new Instant Press 2.1.2 ? To me, its cool and has new 
features like the up and down votes on comments but also the 'share links' 
were removed. However, it says you can adjust the DAL config in the file 
"00config.py" but i dont even see any such file on the list. The present 
models there are: 
   
   - 
   

00main.py
   - 
   


instantpress/00main.py
   - 
   


users/00main.py

Please i would greatly appreciate a prompt response as am already feeding 
my blog with posts and i want the database changed to mySql rather than the 
default sqlite.

thanks 

[web2py] openID in InstantPress

[netcode]

i read the discussion on openID using Janrain (janrain.com) and i tried 
implementing it on my blog built with InstantPressit . it worked just well 
but i discovered it disabled my registration page(for new users) and also 
my default sign in page was disabled 

from gluon.contrib.login_methods.rpx_account import RPXAccount
2 auth.settings.actions_disabled=['register','change_password','
request_reset_password']
3 auth.settings.login_form = RPXAccount(request,
4 api_key='...',
5 domain='...',
6 url = "http://localhost:8000/%s/default/user/login"; % request.application)

i am aware dat line 2 disables the default login but is there a way one can 
make this openID optional thereby reserving your default login page and the 
registration page 

many thanks

[web2py] shared host deployment of my web2py site

[netcode]

Hello All, 
i am trying to follow up on steps in this 
link:http://www.web2pyslices.com/slice/show/1401/web2py-on-shared-hosting-hostmonster-with-fastcgibut
 i think am lost now.

I have downloaded and extracted the python setup to the Home Directory but 
after that, it says this:


cd $HOME/Python-2.6.5
./configure --prefix=$HOME
make
make install

and thats where am lost. i know 'cd $Home/python-2.6.5' means i should be in 
the python folder in my home directory but i dont 
know what the next line of instruction says 

If we can have these installation steps in plain english, i think most web2py 
users having the same difficulty would be satisfied

many thanks 

[web2py] Re: Installation on GoDaddy shared server

[netcode]

webfaction does not handle domain registration. you still have to get a 
host and then change your nameservers to that of webfaction so you can have 
control of your DNS from the webfaction control panel.

[web2py] web2py and apache

[netcode]

hello guys,
please am a newbie on ubuntu environment but been using python for a month 
now. I am using the InstantPress to make a blog on the web2py framework. 
Now, am reading the deployment recipe on the official web2py documentation 
but it males no sense to me yet. i get confused at this point:

Then, enable the SSL module, the proxy module, and the WSGI module in 
Apache:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy_http.load \
   /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy_http.load

Am i to run the command as a single line or am i to break them into two, i 
really dont understand the backslah at the end of the first line. cos when 
i run as a single line, i dont see anything processing on my terminal.
Also, most links on web2py site are broken, they give an invalid reference 
ticket.


thanks, 
netcode

[web2py] compiling web2py app

[netcode]

Hello all! 
i am from a windows environment and i expect things to be easy. well, i 
moved to ubuntu of recent where i develop using python and web2py. I am 
currently trying to raise a blog using the InstantPress CMS. I am done with 
customizing its contents but i get errors when trying to compile it so i 
can FTP the files to my domain. 

In windows, it only takes you to compile your web application and FTP the 
files and Folders to your domain and just with a click. Please i would 
appreciate help on getting my web2py (InstantPress) app ready for copying 
to my domain so users can access my blog.

Many Thanks,
Netcode

[web2py] web2py resources

[netcode]

Hello all, i think we need more web2py resources. am new to web2py but
i find it hard to get a loaded and comprehensive video to help in
building apps. Also, i find it difficult to get a good CMS written in
web2py. Luckily, i found one i could use for my blog and its called
InstantPress. Its cool and am done with setting the blog to what i
want. My issue is this, i did no special editing to codes so its all
default and i would like to know what dbms was used by instantpress.
>From observations, its sqlite but i want to be sure.

secondly, i am ready to host so what next? should i just compile the
application and FTP the files to my domain. If i do this, would it
read the sqlite files just like that or i have to create my own online
dbase using sql scripts just as with ms-sql server?

Many Thanks, guys
