[web2py] Re: REF: Bare Ajax Login
I solved the ajax login the follwing way
controllers/user.py
def login():
'''
ajax login function
return login form error/success message and serialized user
as JSON object
'''
form = SQLFORM.factory(
Field('email', requires=[IS_EMAIL()]),
Field('password', 'password')
)
user = dict()
message = ''
success = None
if form.accepts(request.vars, session):
success = auth.login_bare(form.vars.email, form.vars.password)
if success:
from gluon.contrib import simplejson
if not auth.is_logged_in():
return simplejson.dumps({'id': None})
user = dict([(k, v)
for k, v in auth.user.iteritems() if k in 'first_name
last_name email id'.split()])
user['groups'] = [row.auth_group.role for row in db(db.
auth_membership.user_id == auth.user.id)(
db.auth_membership.group_id == db.auth_group.id).select()]
success = True;
else:
message = 'invalid login'
from gluon.contrib import simplejson
return simplejson.dumps({'user': user, 'form': str(form), 'message':message
, 'success': success})
in index.html
div id=login-form/div
in my JavaScript lib
function trapForm(target, url, success_callback) {
$(target + ' form').submit(function(e) {
getForm(target, url, $(this).serialize(), success_callback);
e.preventDefault();
});
}
function getForm(target, url, fdata, success_callback) {
$.ajax({
url: url,
data: fdata,
method: 'post',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data) {
if (data.message) {
$.jGrowl(data.message); // I juse jGrown instead of the build
in .flash
}
$(target).html(data.form)
trapForm(target, url, success_callback);
if (data.success == true) {
success_callback(data.user)
}
},
error: function() {
$.jGrowl('getForm failed');
}
});
}
/**
* get the login form via ajax and render it into the page
*/
function getLoginForm() {
// load login form
getForm('#login-form', localconfig.baseurl + '/user/login', undefined,
function(user) {
framework.this_user.update(user);// this is where I process the
returned result
... // further front end actions that should be done on login
follow here
});
}
Hope this helps other facing this problem.

Re: [web2py] Re: REF: Bare Ajax Login
Was fighting with the problem in 2011 and still do, how to log in with ajax?
The problem is that I have a one pager app with client site js code that
needs to register if the user is logged in
when I login with e.g.
index.html:
div id=i-login-form/div
js code:
web2py_component(localconfig.baseurl + '/default/user.load/login',
'i-login-form')
default.py unchanged from welcome app
user.load
{{=form}}
I have not found a way to register in the js code if the login was a
success or fail
I modified web2py_component so that it has a callback that is executed
every time the ajax call in web2py_ajax_page (via web2py_component) is
completed
web2py_component(localconfig.baseurl + '/default/user.load/login',
'i-login-form', undefined, undefined, function() {
// do some other ajax call if the login was a success
});
But this is far from ideal. The callback code must check if this is the
first call and if the login was a success. Also if the login failed (e.g.
an email was provided but no password) no form is returned :(
Do I really have to write my own server side login methods to make this
work? Any news on this?

Re: [web2py] Re: REF: Bare Ajax Login
I just wanted to mention that a similar problem exist for
request_reset_password,
the call works, passoword is restet the email is send but there is just a
blank return and I have no idea how to react on that on the client side
without rewriting the web2py_ajax... routines

Re: [web2py] Re: REF: Bare Ajax Login
Web2py has excellent backend processing. I think the way Massimo made
web2py to work supports less pure Ajax calls. I would recommend and request
that core functions are made to support pure Ajax say a one page website,
cause users now want to experience web apps as if they are desktop apps. On
the other hand I have also been developing an app with dhtmlx framework
client based and using web2py calls. Works well but don't use inbuilt cool
features of web2py to process foreinstance forms. It would be cool to see
how a Ajax call can be handled by say form.procesd().
