Hi I'm new to web2py. I've made great progress in a few days with my
project.
SUMMARY: for every view I call, I get default.py as the controller.
Even if I specify app/view/view or app/namediffernt/view I still get
default.py as the controller. I appreciate any ideas or pointers on
what to try. thanks in advance, james
MORE DETAIL:
I've read the documentation and here and tried some different
approaches. The app is something like this:
Anyone can access the hello page and sub pages(page1, page2,
page3, ... page7) none of these pages require log in and present
static content. A registered user can log-in and access and update
contents of a database. In menu.py and (default.py, under def index()
{ I check if the user is logged-in. if so the I send them off to
the protected page, by using
logged in, if so they are sent off to their view via:
response.view='protected_page.html'.
I've also tried response.view='different_controller/protected_page' .
First I was trying with the controller and the view html page having
the same name. I read under some conditions that may not work so as
shown in my example I'm using a controller with a different name from
the view. I've tried also putting this in menu.py. and tried putting
{{response.view=different_controller/...ect}} into the view.html
I also tried using redirect and URL with no success. Every case I
ended up either breaking the application or the no matter or with
default.py. (regardless of what controller explicitly specified) If I
just put all the logic in default.py I can probably getting it
working. But I would like to understand what is going on and structure
the application appropriately.
Sorry for the rambling, but am somewhat sleep deprived from working on
this continuously the past three days. I appreciate any
recommendations on what to look at or try. Thanks in advance. James
