[web2py] Re: [py4web] - how to disable some auth actions?
+1 on this request. For some apps this is a deal-breaker. For example, a client who wants a secure place for their employees and doesn't want any random registration requests. FYI, other Auth requirements that I've been asked to implement to 'secure' an app are: - Lock account after x failed login attempts. - Force new password on first login - Force new password every x days. - No re-use of passwords within 8 changes. - No sequential passwords (for example, can't change your password from 'password1' to 'password2'). - Force logout after x hours. - Two-factor authentication for users with 'administrator' access. - Require passwords of various complexity. I'm not saying that py4web should have all of these functions right now, but pointing out some of the options it might need to have in the future.

[web2py] Custom Delimiters Broken in 2.18.1?
Hi there,
I think the custom template delimiters are broken in 2.18.1. Here's my
test code and the exception I'm getting:
CONTROLLER

response.delimiters = ('')
return dict(message=T('Welcome!'))
VIEW - index.html
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
Note that each column needs at least {{minCards}}
cards.

[web2py] Re: update_or_insert
It looks like update_or_insert() will always do two database hits and, as you say, even then doesn't give you the id of the existing record. It goes something like this (pseudo code for clarity): record = db.table.select() if record: update_record() else: insert record() So it's a simple function that you could easily substitute with your own code. However if you want to reduce database hits, I guess you could use try/except instead. Is it more likely that the record will exist or not exist? Do the most likely thing. And then if that fails, and only then, do the second query. This assumes that the appropriate fields in the index table have been defined with unique=True.

[web2py] Re: How do I check of the version of pysimplesoap in web2py.
SOAP can really be a world of pain. I spent hours trying to connect to a
SOAP service and the best I could get was a 400 Bad Request. It turned
out that they were using wsHttpBinding - which seems to only be supported
by .NET clients. The work-around is to manually inject the WS-Security
headers into the SOAP envelope. In the end I gave up and reverted to a
service using basicHttp binding.
Long story, short: pysimplesoap works really well. It is SOAP itself that
is overly complex and mostly broken.
And for anyone out there experiencing the pain, here's some sample code
that I use as a sanity check. The 'trace' option leaves a nice trail on
the console - but remember to turn it off in production.
from gluon.contrib.pysimplesoap.client import SoapClient,
SoapFault
url = http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?WSDL;
client = SoapClient(wsdl=url, trace = True)
parameters = {}
parameters['ZIP'] = 90210
try:
response = client.GetCityWeatherByZIP(**parameters)
except SoapFault as e:
response = ERROR {0}: {1}.format(e.faultcode,
e.faultstring)

FWIW, I also use pysimplesoap (it's what brought me to web2py), both with
a third party target and with my own SOAP target. It works well with these.
I tried using it with a different third party target that had some special
WSDL handling required , and I wasn't successful with that. I had some
conversations here about it, and the dev (M Reingart) tried to help, but I

[web2py] Re: Design flaw in auth.impersonate ?
Well the easy answer is to simply open the impersonated user in a different browser (eg, have Support Team login in chrome and impersonated user login in firefox). For us it is important that impersonate is restricted to the user's permissions...we have several classes of user and it is essential to see what the site looks like from their environment. On Monday, 6 April 2015 06:51:53 UTC+12, Louis Amon wrote: When you impersonate a user in web2py, your whole auth session gets replaced with the user's, and that means you lose access to whatever permissions you used to have ( http://web2py.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tools.html#gluon.tools.Auth.impersonate ) Practically : if you're a staff member (Support Team, not geek) and you're using a permission-locked back-office to impersonate a user, that means you won't be able to access the back-office to check for extra data until you impersonate(0) to go back to your own session and permissions. So far I've just asked my team to chew on it and just de-impersonate every time they need to go back to the back-office... but they keep complaining about it and they're quite right. I've been thinking about how to improve this, and so far I've only managed to narrow down a few options : 1. Building a second Session() object to manage both sessions separately 2. Using session.connect(masterapp=...) to use another application's sessions (between main app and back-office app for instance, if those are separate... which is a pain in terms of model management) 3. Messing with the permission system to add up permissions (staff member's permissions + impersonated user's permissions) before permission checks I'm really not sure what strategy I should adopt here and how I should go about implementing this.

[web2py] Re: advice on creating multi purpose table
Hi Leonel,
I like your suggestion, but I always wonder with these sorts of solutions
whether or not you need a separate field in the person_meta table for each
data type? For example:
db.define_table('person_meta',
Field('person', 'reference person'),
Field('name'),
Field('val_string', 'string'),
Field('val_integer', 'integer'),
Field('val_double', 'double'),
Field('val_list_string', 'list:string'),
Field('val_list_integer', 'list:integer'),
Field('val_datetime', 'datetime'),
Field('val_text', 'text')
)
That way you have the option of using the database to do the sorting,
filtering and manipulations. You can also use the web2py validators
directly on the table. Or is the overhead of having so many empty fields
on every record too much?
I'd be interested in your thoughts.

Right now you have 4 types of companies with different profiles, that may
not always be so, also, company a, b, c or d may change the fields they

What's more efficient depends on your objectives. I would do something
like this:
db.define_table('company',
Field('name')
)
db.define_table('person',
Field('name'),
Field('company', 'reference company'),
)
db.define_table('company_person_meta',
Field('company', 'reference company'),
Field('name'),
Field('mandatory', 'boolean'),
# The next one is optional and just an example in case you want to
# validate, format, etc for different types.
Field('value_type', requires=IS_IN_SET(('email', 'url', 'integer',
'date'))),
)
db.define_table('person_meta',
Field('person', 'reference person'),
Field('name'),
Field('val'),
)
# Notes when inserting into person_meta you should check it's one of the
names
# defined for that person's company.
The field names are a bit convoluted because I use check_reserved=['all'],
but this would give you complete flexibility and would let you use the same
controller functions for all companies.
For instance, using this model, list all persons from a company with their
attributes:
Controller:
def show_persons():
return {'persons': db(db.person.company == request.args(0, cast=int)).
select()}
View:
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
{{for person in persons:}}
h2{{=person.name}}/h2
dl class=dl-horizontal
{{for meta in person.person_meta.select():}}
dt{{=meta.name}}/dt
dd{{=meta.val}}/dd
{{pass}}
/dl
{{pass}}
Both the controller and the view would work for any type of company
whatever the fields they could want.
This may not be the most efficient in terms of hardware use, but it future
proofs your app, so it's certainly the most efficient if you want to be
proactively lazy as I think all developers should strive to be.

[web2py] Re: How to fix 'list' TypeError with many-to-many SQLFORM.factory and multiple=True?
Hi there,
The issue you have is that you are mixing a fully normalized solution and
the web2py short-cut.
In the table you have defined db.component_package_association.component_id
as a single integer, but the validator is giving the field multiple values.
The easy option is to delete the component_package_association table and
have something like this:
db.define_table('package',
Field('components','list:reference component'),
Field('another_field'),
format='%(another_field)s'
)
That way multiple references will be handled automatically in forms and
they are transparent to the DAL. See the list_reference example in chapter
6 of the book.

Hi everybody,
since a couple of days I am trying to implement a *normalized

My problem is an exception that is thrown when the form is validated after

The exception is caused by a list of reference ids defined by selected

A way to circument this exception might be to denormalize the intersection
table by using the field type list:reference which I want to avoid for
various reasons.
I have created a similar model for demonstration purposes, where the

I did some research in the web2py-users ML and some search engines but
could not find a way to tackle this issue.
Following a couple of ideas for which I am thankful to get helpful
comments and advice:
1. Create a custom validator for the form or
2. Disable form.process().accepted or
3. Disable the validation for the specific field
4. Something completely different
I try to avoid options 2 and 3.
Thank you for your time!

Thanks Cliff and Niphlod,
I've used ajax several times and think I understand the process. My
problem now involves using a form inside a bootstrap modal and using ajax
to submit the form. What I meant by web2py intercepting the event was
that web2py.js registers an event handler for the submit which interferes
with the modal submit handler. web2py.js adds the 'disabled' class but
does not detect the succesful ajax response and then remove the class.
Per Niphlod's request, I've recreated the problem using a minimum of code
that I've pasted below. This codes works if I remove web2py.js and fails
if I leave it. To recreate, click the button to open the model and then
click submit on the modal. You can see the button becomes disabled (even
if you close and reopen it remains disabled). In other testing, I also had
web2py add 'display='none' ' to the target but the code below doesn't do
that.

Here's how I do it and I assume Web2py does something similar when it,
for example, resets the Working caption on buttons.
The Javascript/Jquery whatever in the client changes the state of the
button. I do it before sending the ajax post. I don't know how Web2py does
it.
It doesn't matter whether it's JQuery's ajax or Web2py's ajax. The syntax
is a little different between the two, but the overall process is the same.
The client sends a request that gets routed to a function. The function
returns a response.
In that response you would include, assuming JQuery has been loaded on
the page, something like
$('#somentity_on_page').whatever_attribute_needs_changing('new state of
the attribute');
Web2py isn't intercepting anything. You push a button, click a link,
whatever, the browser sends a request. The request goes to your web server,
be it Rocket, Apache, Nginx, any other. The web server sends the request to
Web2py because the server is set up that way. Web2py then processes the
request and returns a response.
Excuse me if I'm interpreting incorrectly, but your questions suggest a
certain misunderstanding about what's going on. Chapters 1, 3 and 4 of the
Web2py manual provide a pretty good overview of how this all works. If I
recall correctly, Wikipedia has some reasonably good articles about http,
http requests and http responses.

[web2py] Re: scheduler new feature: task dependencies
Thanks Niphlop, that's brilliant! I've been using a work-around to
schedule dependent jobs, and this will help to tidy things up.
On Tuesday, August 5, 2014 8:51:25 PM UTC+12, Niphlod wrote:
Hi @all,
we have another feature in trunk for the scheduler... Jobs (i.e. task
dependencies)
Directly from https://github.com/niphlod/w2p_scheduler_tests/ (that has
been updated to accomodate the new feature explanation...)
What are Jobs, you ask ? Well, it's a way to coordinate a set of tasks
that have dependencies (what in Celery is called Canvas).
As always, the Scheduler sticks to the basics. Every Job is considered to
be a DAG (a Directed Acyclic Graph
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_acyclic_graph).
Without going into silly details, every task can have one or more
dependencies, but of course you can't have mutual dependencies among the
same tasks.
If a job can't be represented as a DAG, then it can't be processed in
its entirety. You can still queue it, but it won't ever complete (i.e. you
could have a
complete stall at the first task or just a task left on 100 queued...)
So... what can you do ?
Let's take a trivial example (there are a few based on mathematics,
map/reduce, etc... but hey, this is an example!!!)
Suppose you need to create a job that describes what is needed to get
dressed ( thanks to http://hansolav.net/sql/graphs.html )...
We have a few items to wear, and there's an order to respect...
Items are: watch, jacket, shirt, tie, pants, undershorts, belt, shoes,
socks
Now, we can't put on the tie without wearing the shirt first, etc...
http://yuml.me/995413d6
Suppose we have those tasks queued in a controller (for example's sake,
the same function, with different task_name(s))...
watch = s.queue_task(fname, task_name='watch')
jacket = s.queue_task(fname, task_name='jacket')
shirt = s.queue_task(fname, task_name='shirt')
tie = s.queue_task(fname, task_name='tie')
pants = s.queue_task(fname, task_name='pants')
undershorts = s.queue_task(fname, task_name='undershorts')
belt = s.queue_task(fname, task_name='belt')
shoes = s.queue_task(fname, task_name='shoes')
socks = s.queue_task(fname, task_name='socks')
Now, there's a helper class to construct and validate a job.
First, let's declare a job named job_1
#from gluon.scheduler import JobGraph
myjob = JobGraph(db, 'job_1')
Next, we'd need to establish dependencies
# before the tie, comes the shirt
myjob.add_deps(tie.id, shirt.id)
# before the belt too comes the shirt
myjob.add_deps(belt.id, shirt.id)
# before the jacket, comes the tie
myjob.add_deps(jacket.id, tie.id)
# before the belt, come the pants
myjob.add_deps(belt.id, pants.id)
# before the shoes, comes the pants
myjob.add_deps(shoes.id, pants.id)
# before the pants, comes the undershorts
myjob.add_deps(pants.id, undershorts.id)
# before the shoes, comes the undershorts
myjob.add_deps(shoes.id, undershorts.id)
# before the jacket, comes the belt
myjob.add_deps(jacket.id, belt.id)
# before the shoes, comes the socks
myjob.add_deps(shoes.id, socks.id)
Then, we can ask JobGraph if what we asked is a job that is accomplishable
myjob.validate('job_1')
And voilà, job done! If it's not a DAG, then an exception will be raised
and the jobs won't be committed (of course their dependencies won't be
committed too)
How it works under the hood ?
There's a new table called scheduler_task_deps that holds a reference to
the job_name, the task parent, the task child and
a boolean to mark the path (the arrows in the graph) as visitable.
To be fair, the job name isn't that important, you can have task
dependencies amongst
different jobs, it's just not that easy to verify that the Job is a DAG at
a later stage.
If a path is visitable it means that the DAG graph can be walked in
that direction.
Every time a task gets COMPLETED, the paths gets updated to be
visitable. The algo to pick up tasks has been updated
to work fetching only tasks that have no dependencies, or dependencies
that have already been satisfied (i.e. tasks that depends
on nothing, or tasks that depend on tasks that are yet COMPLETED).
Let me know what you think, and if you spot bugs.

Re: [web2py] Brainstorming
Have you looked at breezejs? A JavaScript library that helps you manage data in rich client applications. Breeze dynamically builds a mirror of the server-side db model on the client and then binds to UI controls so the UI updates when the data model changes. Each object knows when it has changed and what has changed. Essentially it builds a client-side cache of the db. On the surface it's focused on .NET (with it's own .NET components), but if you look underneath you see that web2py could easily provide the back-end.

If your customer is happy using MS Word why force them to change? Word files are just zipped up xml that can be manipulated using tools such as lxml.etree.

Re: [web2py] calling download function page by ajax
You might want to look at
http://johnculviner.com/jquery-file-download-plugin-for-ajax-like-feature-rich-file-downloads/
The only fiddly bit is to make sure you set the cookies correctly (see the
documentation for details).
For example:
{{view}}
response.files.append(URL('static','js/jquery.fileDownload/jquery.fileDownload.js'))
{{controller}}
response.js =
'$.fileDownload(http://127.0.0.1:8000/sgddms/label/download_func1?var1=2676var1=2673var1=2678;);'
response.js +=
'$.fileDownload(http://127.0.0.1:8000/sgddms/label/download_func1?var1=2676var1=2673var1=2678;);'
# these cookies are required by jQuery.fileDownload.js
# to enable download via ajax
response.cookies['fileDownload'] = 'true'

Re: [web2py] Error uploading 60 character named .pptx file
Actually, the web2py setting you're looking for is 'length'. Here's an

db.define_table('document',

request.post_vars.document.filename),
Field('document','upload',autodelete=True,
requires=IS_LENGTH(minsize=10, maxsize=9048576,

If you want to host on Windows, you may have to store the original

So in my case the file name actually passed to DB is as highlighted

in db.py I have -

I am not using blob to store files- instead files are stored on server at

Hi Ricardo,
Thanks for the response, but I don't understand why it should

this app. What might cause this, for now I have reduced the file name and
it gets uploaded just fine.
Sincerely, Rahul D.
There's no way you can have a path with more than 260 characters in
windows. Any database has no issues on handling long paths, only the
underlying filesystem. If you choose to store files in your uploads folder,
and you are on windows, you need to limit the length of the filenames users
try to upload. Alternatively, you can store files in the database in a blob
field.

I have often wondered if changing the names admin and appadmin would be an easy and simple way to add another layer of security? In other words, add these as command-line arguments that can be set on startup? In this way www.mysite.com/admin could be changed to something like www.mysite.com/secretadmin123. After that access attempts to www.mysite.com/admin could either be handled using the normal invalid request methods or treated as a breach attempt.

[web2py] Re: Generating pdf using web2py-appreport (xhtmltopdf) in Python Web2py webapp
Hi Akash,
Your example controller code seems good and shouldwork. The issue is that
PISA is a bit sensitive and only supports a reduced subset of CSS. The
error suggests PISA does not know how to handle Alpha(Opacity=0). You
will need to somehow strip out the unsupported CSS from the html before it
is rendered by REPORTPISA. Note that images are also problematic (you will
need PIL installed if you want anything other than JPG and even then they
are rendered in separate paragraphs), so you might need to play with this
too.
Cheers

using ajax post (in Javascript). Redactor is the textarea RTE I am using
and alert gives me the desired html result.
View:
function getContent() {
var t= jQuery('#redactor_content').getCode();
alert(t);
jQuery.ajax({
type: POST,
url: http://127.0.0.1:8000/Test50/default/myreport2;,
data: {g : 'jQuery('#redactor_content').getCode()'}
});
}
Controller:
def myreport2():
g = request.get_vars
html = response.render(g)
return plugin_appreport.REPORTPISA(html = html)
Due to my less knowledge in coding , I am not able to figure out and
correct my mistake. I will be thankful if anybody can help me with this
problem.

[web2py] Re: How to Save Query in Session
What do you think about adding a serialization function to gluon.dal.Query? Eg, Query._as_dict() We could also get the framework to automatically invoke it when saving a Query/Expression to session.

Sooner or later I guess I will need to save this data in the data store, but at the moment I'm trying to get a prototype up and running and reworking the code to get the data into/out of a database is more pain than I can face atm. The instances are pickleable (well, cPickle doesn't complain) My options seem to be: * cache in ram using the session id as a key and * dumping the instance to a string, saving the string to session (on GAE will this be the same as cache.ram?) Are there other approaches? What's the best way to go about this? Also, in the next update of the documentation, this would be a useful detail to include on the session related sections.

M. Picking might not be the issue. I would try to take javascript out of the equation first. What if you simulated the javascript in a second server-side controller?

The first one I add (in the controller for the view for debugging) gets stored in the instance fine, and it seems to persist when I save the instance to session. However, when I add other elements (in a separate function called by the javascript) to that instance they get added while in the function, but don't seem to persist in the object saved in the session. It is like the instance is a local variable initialised from what is first stored by the controller. I can modify the original instance like it is a local variable, but changes don't stay there to the next call.

[web2py] Re: Bug? The DAL gives different SQL when query is provided as string.
Hi Niphlod,
Thanks for your reply. I'm running 1.99.7 and here's the model:
db.define_table('webpage',
Field('title'),
Field('body', 'text'))
db.define_table('comment',
Field('page_id', db.webpage),
Field('body', 'text'))
The issue is when you have an implicit inner join, but where you only
want one table in the output.
I've found a thread where Massimo says that support for stings in
queries is clanky and that
you need a db(db.table) or db(db.table.field) to determine which table
is needed.
http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/2024f660a8981558/d4b0e90d701833bb
So I guess it isn't supported?

See the example below, the first SQL works, the second SQL raises an

from gluon.dal import Query
query = (db.comment.id 0) (db.webpage.title == 'FAQ')
(db.comment.page_id == db.webpage.id)

query_from_string = Query(db, query_as_string)

print db(query_from_string)._select(db.comment.body)
SELECT comment.body FROM comment WHERE comment.id 0) AND
(webpage.title = 'FAQ')) AND (comment.page_id = webpage.id)));
Why do this? If the were possible it would enable you to easily save
a query in the session. For example:
==Controller 1==
query1 = (db.comment.id 0) (db.webpage.title == 'FAQ')
(db.comment.page_id == db.webpage.id)
session.query = str(query1)
==Controller 2==
from gluon.dal import Query
query2 = Query(db, session.query)
This does NOT work because the DAL gives different SQL for query1 and
query2.
[web2py] How to Save Query in Session
Just in case any of you want to do this...I've written a routine that enables you to save a Query/Expression object in the session. I have a controller that uses a form to build a relatively complex query and I want other controllers to use that query to generate reports and graphs. I initially explored saving the query in the session as a string, but it just wasn't working for me so I bit the bullet and wrote a seralization routine that takes a Query object and extracts it into a dictionary strucuture. There's another function that does the reverse. It's all here in this slice: http://www.web2pyslices.com/slice/show/1489/save-query-in-session It needs more testing for edge cases (I just don't know enough about the DAL to do all of that). I've written it as a module, but ultimately it would be nice to have something like it as a method within the gluon.dal.Query class itself? Better yet, get the framework to automatically invoke it when saving a Query/Expression to session (like it does for rows).

[web2py] Re: missing FROM-clause entry
Thanks for your suggestion...it pointed me in the right direction. It turns out the issue is not with the query construction, but that DAL handles string input differently to objects. What I am trying to do is take a Query and then convert it to a string so it can be saved in the session. The string can then be pulled from the session and converted back into a Query. This works for simple queries, but not for queries with implicit joins. See the difference: from gluon.dal import Query query = (db.comment.id 0) (db.webpage.title == 'FAQ') (db.comment.page_id == db.webpage.id) query_as_string = str(query) query_from_string = Query(db, query_as_string) db(query)._select(db.comment.body) SELECT comment.body FROM comment, webpage WHERE (((comment.id 0) AND (webpage.title = 'FAQ')) AND (comment.page_id = webpage.id)); db(query_from_string)._select(db.comment.body) SELECT comment.body FROM comment WHERE comment.id 0) AND (webpage.title = 'FAQ')) AND (comment.page_id = webpage.id))); Does anyone know how to convert a Query to a string (so it can be saved in the session) and then get it back again?

If you need the query (not the resulting rows object) to be stored this doesn't help, but if it works in your case to store the select() result this may actually be easier. There is also an .as_list() method, which converts to a list of dictionaries rather than a dictionary of dictionaries. You can also just store Rows objects directly in the session or cache -- the DAL defines a reduction function that calls the .as_list() method when a Rows object is pickled, so you don't have to call the method manually.

[web2py] Re: missing FROM-clause entry
An interesting suggestion...I can see how I could use it for some sort of workaround. What it would me is that I would have to use two separate selects, when I was hoping you only do one. Still it seems to me that my initial approach is the correct one, and that the DAL should be consistent in the way it generates SQL. Specifically: ==Controller 1== query1 = (db.comment.id 0) (db.webpage.title == 'FAQ') (db.comment.page_id == db.webpage.id) session.query = str(query1) ==Controller 2== from gluon.dal import Query query2 = Query(db, session.query) Should work, but does NOT work because the DAL gives different results for query1 and query2.

If you are using an SQL database, and the initial query is for a subset of records in a specific table, you might be able to use belongs, which can accept a query string; so: # compute complicated query; use _select instead of select sqlquery = db(table)(...)(...)._select(table.id) # store sqlquery in your string storage, etc; it is a string. # e.g. put it in your session (but under no circumstance in a form/request # variable or a cookie - that would make your app vulnerable to SQL injection) # retrieve your sqlquery string from the secure storage # add additional conditions finalquery = db(table.id.belongs(sqlquery) table.field1=='field1value')

I use a form to build a query, which ends up like this: db_query = (comment.id 0) AND (webpage.title = 'FAQ')) AND (comment.page_id = webpage.id)) AND (((comment.id = comment_tags.comment_id) AND (tag.id = comment_tags.tag_id)) AND (tag.label = 'Agree' However, the select gives me an psycopg2.ProgrammingError: missing FROM-clause entry because only one of the required tables has been included in the SQL FROM clause: db(db_query)._select(db.comment.body, distinct=True, orderby=db.comment.body) SELECT DISTINCT comment.body FROM comment WHERE (comment.id 0) AND (webpage.title = 'FAQ')) AND (comment.page_id = webpage.id)) AND (((comment.id = comment_tags.comment_id) AND (tag.id = comment_tags.tag_id)) AND (tag.label = 'Agree' ORDER BY comment.body; I can get rid of the error by including all the tables in the select, but that gives me duplicates: db(db_query)._select(db.comment.body, db.comment_tags.id, db.tag.id, db.webpage.id, distinct=True, orderby=db.comment.body) SELECT DISTINCT comment.body, comment_tags.id, tag.id, webpage.id FROM comment, comment_tags, tag, webpage WHERE (comment.id 0) AND (webpage.title = 'FQA')) AND (comment.page_id = webpage.id)) AND (((comment.id = comment_tags.comment_id) AND (tag.id = comment_tags.tag_id)) AND (tag.label = 'Agree' ORDER BY comment.body; The SQL I want (which seems valid enough) is this: SELECT DISTINCT comment.body FROM comment, comment_tags, tag, webpage WHERE (comment.id 0) AND (webpage.title = 'FAQ')) AND (comment.page_id = webpage.id)) AND (((comment.id = comment_tags.comment_id) AND (tag.id = comment_tags.tag_id)) AND (tag.label = 'Agree' ORDER BY comment.body; How do I get the DAL to do this? What am I missing here?
[web2py] Re: transfer auth_group data with the app
Massimo's solution sure is cunning, but you might something like this a bit more maintainable: def install(): if db(db.auth_group.id 0).count() == 0: db.auth_group.insert(role = 'edit') db.auth_group.insert(role = 'moderate') db.auth_group.insert(role = 'comment') return install() On Nov 23, 11:28 am, Massimo Di Pierro massimo.dipie...@gmail.com wrote: yes because the file gets moved in a different folder after execution.

[web2py] Re: lexical scanner
Okay, in that caseyou pass the function to the view as you would
any other variable. For example:
return dict(form=form, rows=rows, file_lookup=file_lookup)

[web2py] Re: SyntaxError: Set: no tables selected on select statement.
A couple of obvious thing. First, the query goes with the db() not
the select(). Second, the reference to room is via room.id rather
than room.name. So you could try:
reservations = db(db.reservation.room==room.id).select()

[web2py] Re: lexical scanner
if you use the web2py Storage class:
context = Storage()
context.auth = auth
render(content=content, context=context)
or in raw python:
context = {}
context['auth'] = auth
render(content=content, context=context)

i have reference to auth in my text, for cross checking with

thank you in advance. lucas
[web2py] Re: lexical scanner
I think you want render. For example:
from gluon.template import render
fields=Storage()
fields.first_name = John
content = Hello {{=first_name}}
rendered = render(content, context=fields)

i played with CODE(...) but that only displays the text in python or

on that line saying invalid syntax.
so i am still not sure, so how does view get processed and separated
by html and python code and then the python code is interpreted and
run as executable code?

[web2py] Re: lexical scanner
Render is the same function used to process the views. So, as long as
you put all the variables in the namespace, your code will execute.
Something like this should work:
from gluon.template import render
context = Storage()
context.rows = rows
content =
HTML
p
{{
for row in rows:
..something with rows..
for c in rows.colnames:
..something with colnames..
=A(some link text, =href=URL(index))
}}
/p
/HTML
rendered = render(content, context=context)
On Nov 2, 11:43 am, lucas sjluk...@gmail.com wrote:
yes, but even more general then only fields, like you can have entire
sections of blocked executable code in a view like
HTML
p
{{
for row in rows:
..something with rows..
for c in rows.colnames:
..something with colnames..
=A(some link text, =href=URL(index))}}
/p
/HTML
that isn't so much a field as a big block of code, in a html/text
file. how do we get that to execute as python? lucas
[web2py] Re: lexical scanner
Conceptually, this is the same as giving any module to access the
web2py helpers...you will need to make them available within the
namespace. I did a quick test:
content = {{from gluon.html import *}}{{=A('hello world')}}
render(content=content)
'ahello world/a'
So it works! Other things you might need are:
from gluon.http import *
from gluon.validators import *
from gluon.sqlhtml import *
As with the old local_import, if you want request, session, cache, T,
db(s) they will need to be passed in the context. For example:
context.db = db
context.request = request
Hope that clarifies it for you.
