[web2py] Re: save the original value of one field in another table field

2018-06-19 Thread Anthony
This is generally not good database design. What are you really trying to 
do? Would it make more sense for mytable2 to reference mytable?

perhaps you can use database callbacks or form validation

2018-06-19 Thread Ayron Rangel
How can i save the value of one field in another table field??

db.define_table('mytable',
Field('n1', 'integer', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY())
)

db.define_table('mytable2',
Field('n1', 'integer', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()) -> I want this field 
iguals the field (n1) on mytable.

The default validators for the username field are:

[IS_MATCH('[\w\.\-]+', strict=True,
error_message=self.messages.invalid_username),
IS_NOT_IN_DB(db, '%s.username' % settings.table_user_name,
error_message=self.messages.username_taken)]

You could replace the IS_MATCH with a custom validator that accepts unicode 
characters, or just remove IS_MATCH altogether.

[web2py] Re: field username in auth_user

2018-06-19 Thread Anthony
By default it must match the following regular expression:

'[\w\.\-]+'

So, no spaces. I suppose you could override the default validator and allow 
spaces, but I'm not sure if that has any consequences for uses of the 
username elsewhere in the Auth system.

You might try a "non-breaking space".  In unicode, that U+00A0

You probably want to look at chapter 7.8 of the Python Standard Library 
docs:
https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/codecs.html>
especially section 7.8.2.
Also, chapter 7.9 describes the tools for getting unicode properties, and 
you can find the numeric value for a given character that way.

I would expect the DAL connectors to handle most of the common encodings, 
and Leonel points out they can talk UTF-8 to a database that supports it 
(find me an example that doesn't).
In the book, the DAL signature shows UTF-8 as the default codec.
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer?search=unicode#DAL-signature>


If you really need to be ASCII-safe: Since URLs are supposed to be ASCII, 
unicode gets escaped ... look at chapter 20.5.2 for urllib.quote():
https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/urllib.html#utility-functions>
or the web2py helper function xmlescape()
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/05/the-views#xmlescape>
to provide a "clean ascii" representation if you need to.

I know, TL;DR.  But I hope this gives you some pointers to your choices.

[web2py] Re: Salesforce access code works standalone but fails from within web2py app

2018-06-19 Thread 'jim kaubisch' via web2py-users
Solved... 

Ultimately an out-of-date simple_salesforce, 
but complicated by the fact that my pip v9.0.1 attempt to upgrade  
simple_salesforce (and even pip  itself) also failed with a TLSV1 failure.

Stumbled upon this link - which had an answer that worked for me to get out 
of this apparent infinite loop :-(

[web2py] Salesforce access code works standalone but fails from within web2py app

2018-06-19 Thread 'jim kaubisch' via web2py-users
 

HI,


One of the apps I’m writing involves interaction with Salesforce. 


I’ve written a context manager to implement access to our Salesforce 
account (using “simple_salesforce” as the access mechanism). 


When run as a standalone program access and data retrieval work fine, but 
imported into my web2py app and called from there, it fails with


   Failed to open SF connection. 


   Msg= HTTPSConnectionPool(host='login.salesforce.com', port=443): 

Max retries exceeded with url: /services/Soap/u/29.0 (Caused by 
SSLError(SSLError(1, 

u'[SSL: SSLV3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE] sslv3 alert handshake 
failure (_ssl.c:661)'),))


There’s no particular reason why anyone would know what the problem might 
be, but I’m asking just in case :-(

2018-06-19 Thread 'jim kaubisch' via web2py-users
Thanks, Anthony.

because there may be MANY values in the field, what I would actually be 
perfectly happy with is a list as you describe it, 
but one that is the result of a db query, 

e.g. a list of names of all schools whose "Field('district_id'   , 
'reference districts', label=T('District')" is 2. 

Tried doing that yesterday without success.

[web2py] Re: Clarification please on autocomplete widget...

2018-06-19 Thread Anthony
No, as the example in the book shows, by "list", it just means a list 
generated from the contents of a single field in a database table (in 
contrast to the reference field option, which submits integer ID values 
from a reference field but searches and displays the corresponding values 
from an alternative field).
