you must save somewhere in your "long_time_consuming_function()" the progress and let the page show that.
If you manage that function outside web2py (using the scheduler or not), you need something readable by your page and writeable by the external process. A record on the db, a file, something. The scheduler has a facility you can use for that http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/04#Scheduler-%28experimental%29 under the section "reporting percentages" . if you want to get familiar with the scheduler you can look at this "learn by trial" application https://github.com/niphlod/w2p_scheduler_tests let me know if you need further assistance on the scheduler's side. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
