[web2py] Re: it case you missed it...

The evidence is overwhelmingly in the other direction both in terms of what users want and what other frameworks offer. I don't think that's disputable.

[web2py] Re: it case you missed it...

I disagree. In the case of web2py it makes no difference to users since the web2py license clearly states it does not apply to them. Users of the framework can release their code under any license they like. Massimo On Dec 12, 11:39 am, pbreit wrote: > I'm not sure you can make that generaliza

[web2py] Re: it case you missed it...

I'm not sure you can make that generalization with frameworks. The solid, widely used ones are all BSD/MIT (Rails, Django, Cake, CodeIgniter, Pylons, Turbogears, Symfony, etc.). But as you say, BSD/MIT are better for users.

OK, I like every comments about 301 redirect, and this is a good tip. But, I started this post with this subject in mind: I am thinking on how we can have some helpers, functions, directives or just > improvements in 'welcome' app to help us follow this SEO tips? So, how can we develop some hel

Re: [web2py] Re: Accessing filename from upload field in onvalidation call

Thanks Massimo, Mr. Freeze and Weheh. In the end I just used form.vars.file.file.read(15) to make sure it was a SQLite file to begine with. At first I'd neglected to followup with a form.vars.file.file.seek(0) to reset the read position in the file. It's pretty important to remember that piece

[web2py] Re: it case you missed it...

It prevents a group of individuals or a company to make a better closed source derivative, and screw the original project. In my experience, MIT/BSD projects tend to be smaller, fragmented and with a lot of incompatible forks when compared with GPL projects. Of course there are exceptions. Massim

Carlos, the only solution I see is using a virtual field, or removing repeats in Java Scripts. Enviado via iPhone Em 12/12/2010, às 14:17, Carlos escreveu: > Hi Denes, > > That's clear to me, my question is not about getting the data (I got > it ok), but instead showing the data in an html ta

+1 PageRank is dying and not what Google really uses. The www.web2py.com vs web2py.com is a non issue from a search engine perspective. You can tell Google Webmaster Tools that web2py.com == www.web2py.com.

[web2py] Re: SQLTABLE with joined data, but without repeats?

Hi Denes, That's clear to me, my question is not about getting the data (I got it ok), but instead showing the data in an html table (SQLTABLE) with unique (no repeated) "one" data, as per my examples above. Maybe I'm not explaining clearly? - sorry :-) Thanks!, Carlos On Dec 12, 9:41 am,

Re: [web2py] Re: it case you missed it...

The disadvantages of GPL are somewhat clear. Are there any advantages of GPL (with respect to "frameworks")?
