[web2py] Re: Any jquery gurus out there?
That is true. I have also run into that problem. At first, I thought it
might be that too so I changed it and it still didn't work right. When I
noticed I was sure that was it (or rather was hoping that was it.) I did
also do a search and it seems that problem is not very-well documented
either. Strange since almost everything I've ever run into someone else has
seen it all before.

[web2py] Updated deplopyment docs?

Below is some correspondence I've had today with my shared host: [After emailing them the link to the deployment recipes in the documentation:] "We have looked at the page and unfortunately it doesn't look like it >> will work well with our shared Web hosting service.

I'm really just looking to have a live testing bed where I can load w2p applications and view them from external services like browserlabs etc. Hence the need for it to be live. With this host I do have shell access but no sudo or Apache config permissions. They're running the latest apache and are already set up to support Django and run several django sites already, so I think w2p is certainly doable there.

[web2py] Sending message.html to single new user?
In the book it mentions sending message.html to every person in the
database. I know you know where it is already but for posterity
sake...http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/8.
There now seems to be a problem with my code as it only sends the first
mail.send and not the other. I really would like to take the
form.vars.email and send them message.html that is a template with their
login info and how to login as well as some other form.vars I have in the
form they fill out.
My controller:
def new_post():
form = SQLFORM(db.post)
if form.accepts(request, formname=None):
mail.send(to=['r...@rks.com'],subject='New Registration at
RKS',message=', '.join('%s: %s' % (k, v) for (k, v) in
request.vars.iteritems()))
mail.send(to=['form.vars.email'],subject='Your Registration
Details',message=response.render('new_user.html'))
return DIV("Test")
elif form.errors:
return TABLE(*[TR(k, v) for k, v in form.errors.items()])
My view:
First Name *
Last Name *
Email *
It seems my default code does not recognize form.vars.email because I'm not
defining it in the form inside the controller? That's the only thing I can
think of there. Plus I realize now that I'm not going to get vars from one
view in another or auth.user vars from a non-logged in user? Correct?

I think it might be pretty simple just to add a class or id to the

just to target those specific inputs or tedious to target them in the

[web2py] Re: Parsing python from db fields?
Unless you're very curious about this problem I wouldn't try too hard. I'm under a deadline so I just used an if statement to wrap the include file I need and referenced the specific pages inside the if. Might not be the most elegant way to do things and certainly it falls into the workaround way of doing it, but for now it's what I'm going to do. Thanks, both of you, for all your help on this.
Re: [web2py] Re: Creating users on checkout?
Not to mention the redirect to user/profile I mentioned in another post.
Trying to invoke auth.register() with a logged in user will force a
redirect. Instead, I think it's best I just select the auth.users table and
write directly to the database. But easier said than done.

[web2py] Re: Parsing python from db fields?
View source does not show anything below the content inside that XML.
For example, I have a layout.html with the standard {{include}} {{ include
footer.html}} etc.
The place where I have this XML element fall within the view that's
extending this layout. So no matter what, there should be a footer at the
very least. There's none. Even after the XML I have HTML within that view
that no longer exists in source. The new source just ends after the content
of blog.body like web2py no longer recognizes anything else.
That's why I added in the {{pass}} trying to force web2py to stop whatever
it is doing to ignore the rest of the HTML.
There is no since the data being called inside the blog.body is
just a field from the db. I know I could have put a in the field or
in the included view it's calling but I double checked after reading your
comment and there is none. All that html after the snippet is just like
Keyser Soze.

[web2py] Re: Parsing python from db fields?
In that trial I was trying to end the python, thinking possibly it's
affecting what follows. Deleting it does nothing.
Sort of like {{if:}},{{else:}},{{pass}}. I was just trying to make it
render that python and then stop.

[web2py] How does the auto-increment on field id work? I'd like to use the method in a table.
I have some html:
{{for i, (product_id, qty, total_price, product, options) in
enumerate(order):}}
-
+
I have a js function that takes min_pro_1 and plus_pro_1 and allows them to
decrement of increment value_pro_1. So they're just buttons a user can
click and the product quantity goes up and down. Well, the js I have needs
each quantity field to have a unique id (imagine that) but my {{for i}}
python just creates each item with the same id. How do I increment these
ids to ensure valid code and proper functioning of the js?
So item two would be:
-
+
And so on. The function I've got in my controller now is:
def increment(self,key,value=1):
self.locker.acquire()
try:
if key in self.storage:
value=self.storage[key][0]+value
self.storage[key]=(value)
except BaseException, e:
self.locker.release()
raise e
self.locker.release()
return value
And I figured I could do something like:
{{for i, (product_id, qty, total_price, product, options) in
enumerate(order):}}
-
+

[web2py] Re: Redirecting to user/profile?
I actually just decided that I probably just need to manually add new
values to db.auth.users. That way this is actually a non-issue and I won't
even need to worry about it.
I think it may be harder since I don't know how to do that, especially with
the checks on if auth.user or IS_IN_DB references but I can't see this
working any other way for what I want to do. The end goal is to take a
checkout form that will submit like normal to the payment gateway but at
the same time register users if they don't have accounts, not register
users if they're logged in or the email value exists already in the
auth.user db.
The code I have already in the controller is:
def checkout_test():
order = []
balance = 0
for product_id, qty, option_ids in session.cart:
products = db(db.product.id == product_id).select()
if products:
product = products[0]
options = [db.option[id] for id in option_ids]
total_price = qty * (product.price + sum([option.price for
option in options]))
order.append((product_id, qty, total_price, product, options))
balance += total_price
else:
pass
session.balance = balance
if form.accepts(request, formname=None):
#if not auth.user:
#if field.email IS_NOT_IN_DB:
#register email field in auth.users db
# pass
#pass
mail.send(to=['r...@rks.com','customer_email'],subject='Test
Success',message=', '.join('%s: %s' % (k, v) for (k, v) in
request.vars.iteritems()))
return dict(order=order, merchant_id=session.paypal_id)
elif form.errors:
return TABLE(*[TR(k, v) for k, v in form.errors.items()])
Of course, you'll notice some invalid code in there that I have as
placeholders for myself to logically symbolize what I need done.

[web2py] Redirecting to user/profile?
I'm having some issues I don't fully understand. I've customized an auth.login using login_form.custom.widget.email etc in a controller. It works fine and logs in users like you would expect. However, I have a view, checkout_test.html where I have included another form=auth.register() in the controller. By default, a logged in user who teis to access a page with auth.register() gets redirected to user/profile. How can I stop this behavior on at least this one view? The reason this is all here is that I'm extending the option to users on checkout to login or create an account on successful checkout. So I'm trying to expose all the auth.registration functions for non-logged in users. With the redirection, these functions are preventing any logged in user from ever checking out. [SIDENOTE: I haven't been able to perfect my registering users on successful checkout just yet so I could end up not having to include any standard auth.register anything in this view once all is said and done.] --
Re: [web2py] Re: Creating users on checkout?
Also, if you were to use the {{=*.custom.widget.email}} method you get
errors when a logged in user is using the form. The form tries to act like
a registration form instead of a checkout form.
If I use things in the inputs like {{=auth.user.first_name}} it works to
prefill values if users are logged in. But afaik it looks like setting the
values to the auth.users db manually after checkout is the only way to go.
I could be wrong thought since I'm not as good on web2py as many/most other
people here.
--
Re: [web2py] Re: Creating users on checkout?
I see that there are auth.register() and auth.login(), I'm already using login_form=auth.login(), in the controller, but otherwise I'm not certain the checkoutform would be form=auth.register(). Maybe it can be, but is that the best practice? Or just creating a function that writes into the same auth.user db? --

[web2py] Re: Parsing python from db fields?
This all works, but I can't wrap my head around why everything after this
snippet is no longer displayed. It does not even exist in the source. For
example, my code is like this:
{{import os}}
{{from gluon.template import render}}
{{=XML(render(blog.body,path=os.path.join(request.folder,
'views'), context=globals()))}}
{{pass}}
NEW USER?
CURRENT USER?
{{=blog_form}}
Everything from the inserted comment () will not exist any more
after this. Go back to simple {{=XML(blog.body)}} and everything after it
displays fine. I've tried adding a pass, no pass, two passes, etc. But it
still appears from that point web2py is not recognizing regular html
anymore. Nothing after that will display at all.

[web2py] Re: Creating users on checkout?
Not so easy? --
[web2py] Re: Parsing python from db fields?
Okay, so that works on everything except href="{{=URL('something')}} it
returns the error "URL is not defined." I'm going to try the other anchor
method available and see if that works.
The {{=blog.title}} and {{include 'postviews3.html'}} works fine with this
solution.

[web2py] Creating users on checkout?
I'm using the standard users/login and users/register for normal
operations; however, I want to include these functions in a checkout
function. For the login, I've read up on auth.login but for the
registration portion I have no idea where to look.
I have defined checkout.html with a return(form=auth.login(), order=order).
I have created a form in the view with an action {{=auth.login}}. It seems
this is what I need? My one question (since this is in dev I can't test the
checkout functionality yet) is whether this form is going to interfere with
the second form in the view that submits the order. Since both actions are
different, I don't think so but a) I don't even know if my login form
action is correct and b) I don't know if the return(form=auth.login) is
going to hijack the second form and treat it like a login form as well.
My plan for the second part(registration), is just to check if the user is
logged in and if not create a new user based on the information given. I'm
already asking for all the information I need to create an account, I just
want the form to submit the order, and then create a user at the same time.
Anything out there that can help? Maybe some documentation or tutorial or
something?
Also, can someone point me to the standard fields for auth.users? I would
like to auto-insert values like {{=auth.email}} or {{=auth.firstname}} in
my fields for logged in users.

[web2py] Re: Parsing python from db fields?
Yes. Inside the actual field I use HTML and python. If I use
{{=XML(blog.body)}} then I can insert all the HTML I want inside that field
from the db administration. Very helpful.
But now I want to be able to insert {{=blog.title}} inside the blog.body
field and when it renders int he view I want to execute {{=blog.title}}.
Also, I have an HTML view that aggregates all of the blogs. So I want to
include this inside the field blog.body.
So with your example are you saying when I use {{=XML(blog.body)}} I should
use {{=eval(blog.body)}} or are you telling me to put eval or exec inside
the {{=blog.title}} that I am calling inside the field? So would it be
{{=exec(blog.body)}} or {{=exec(blog.title)}} inside blog.body?
Sorry, this all seems confusing. Thanks.

[web2py] Parsing python from db fields?
I have a table defined with some old fashioned fields. When printing the
fields in a view I use {{=XML(field.name)}} and so far this works great for
all the HTML I've been putting in there all this time.
Now I've come to a situation where I'm trying to print some python from a
field. Might be recursive, but if I have {{=field.name}} it prints that out
directly instead of recognizing that it's a call and should go look for the
field referenced. The reason I'm doing it this way is that my view is
defined for all items of that type. One item has some differences and it
should include another HTML file such as {{include "html.html"}} but that
just prints instead of trying to find that html and include it.
Hopefully this wasn't so confusing.
So instead of {{=XML(field.name)}} when printing this particular field,
what should this be in order to parse the python and html inside? Thanks.

[web2py] Re: Changing images and CSS with language preferences
Thanks. Works great. I never thought about translating my CSS attributes.
For anyone coming in the future a quick example of what I've done with
Massimo's suggestion is add for image swapping:
{{if T.accepted_language in('en','en-us'):}}
{{else:}}
{{pass}}
and for the css attributes you can just add the T function inside a class
or id like:
Some text
And then in es.py I just changed the definition of paragraph to
paragraph_es or you can keep paragraph and add an additional class like
paragraph spanish. And then make sure you add styles to your CSS to account
for these new styles.
Hopefully that's exactly what you were telling me to do, Massimo, cause it
works. Sorry to post all this but I like to be thorough with my solutions
so no one has to ask later.
Thanks again.
[web2py] Changing images and CSS with language preferences
The old way I was doing things (because I hadn't had time to explore how w2p was handling T) was creating multiple views based on languages with anchors pointed at these different views. Easy enough since I only had like 6 views to translate into one other language. But now that I want to do things right, and for the simple fact that some things are given to me programmatically instead of in the HTML, I changed everything over to T strings. It works great and it's simple. The problem I'm having now is that some images contain text that I need to translate and serve the user that image instead of the original. The other problem is things like dynamically changing the CSS. In Spanish there's a 5:1 ratio for words to say the same thing and several times in my design just a straight translation will break the layout. When I was doing multiple views, I could add different classes and change the CSS that way, now I can't seem to figure that out. So how would I do that? I'm sure there has to be some 'if language=es' type function I could put in there I just have more design sense than w2p sense. Thanks.
[web2py] Trouble running from source
Docs say run python2.7 web2py.py in the terminal and all I can get is the error: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file 'web2py.py' Maybe I put it in the wrong place where it can't find it?
[web2py] Redirecting to a mobile website?
What is the best way to redirect uses to the mobile version of your site? I.e. redirecting to http://m.yoursite.com when it detects a mobile viewport? I tried to do this the normal way that I redirect in other places but I keep getting invalid errors. We're just using js to detect the browser and then we can collect that data in w2p and redirect from there, correct?

Thanks a lot. This solved my problem.
[web2py] Re: Easy question, inserting user input fields into an email message
That was my latest and yes, it does result in an error. The original was:
def new_post():
form = SQLFORM(db.post)
if form.accepts(request, formname=None):
mail.send(to=['s...@distrobeef.com'],subject='DistroBeef Retailer
Contact',message='Test')
return DIV("Thank you for contacting us! We have received your
information and will contact you shortly.")
elif form.errors:
return TABLE(*[TR(k, v) for k, v in form.errors.items()])
This works and I get test as a message. Next try was:
def new_post():
form = SQLFORM(db.post)
if form.accepts(request, formname=None):
mail.send(to=['s...@distrobeef.com'],subject='DistroBeef Retailer
Contact',message='request.vars.
>
>
> distributor,request.vars.dba,request.vars.contactnum,request.vars.fax,request.vars.location,request.vars.locationtwo,request.vars.city,request.vars.state,request.vars.zip,
> request.vars.name,request.vars.contact,request.vars.email
')
return DIV("Thank you for contacting us! We have received your
information and will contact you shortly.")
elif form.errors:
return TABLE(*[TR(k, v) for k, v in form.errors.items()])
And no luck. It just prints that verbatim. I tried quoted, unquoted,
bracketed and ended up on the version I posted in the first comment.
The goal is just to return the values of the fields the user typed. Nothing
fancy. Just a boring old list of items.
[web2py] Easy question, inserting user input fields into an email message
So I got the mail function working correctly but now I can't get it to send
me the fields from the form. The form is standard HTML with ids on all the
inputs. In the controller I have:
def new_post_two():
form = SQLFORM(db.post)
if form.accepts(request, formname=None):
message=%(request.vars.distributor,request.vars.dba,request.vars.contactnum,request.vars.fax,request.vars.location,request.vars.locationtwo,request.vars.city,request.vars.state,request.vars.zip,request.vars.name,request.vars.contact,request.vars.email)
mail.send(to=['s...@distrobeef.com'],subject='DistroBeef Dealer
Contact',message=message)
return DIV("Thank you for contacting us! We have received your
information and will contact you shortly.")
elif form.errors:
return TABLE(*[TR(k, v) for k, v in form.errors.items()])
What am I doing wrong here? (And this is just the latest version, I've
tried a bunch of different things with the syntax and message part but
obviously not the right combo.) Thanks.
[web2py] Mimicking HTML5 pattern attribute for inputs
I'm looking to validate all of my forms with HTML5 and the pattern
attribute, but as always, nothing is perfect on the internet and I still
need a backup to catch those users who do not use HTML5 friendly browsers.
I'm having trouble finding exact representations of the regular expressions
in the handbook so if you know, I'd appreciate some help. I have written
the code in two ways, the HTML way and the HTML helper way (see below) and
the HTML5 works and validates in modern browsers except IE as expected but
I can't translate them to python.
An example, you will see below, is the expression
pattern="[A-F0-9]{11}|[A-F0-9]{14}"
This effectively forces an input to only contain uppercase letters of A-F
and numbers 0-9. It also ensures the length is exactly 11 characters or 14.
So how would I use this in web2py? IS_LENGTH seems to accept only a range
from my tests and so far I've only found IS_ALPHANUMERIC to control what
characters are accepted.
Please seem the form below:
HTML:
MSIE/ESN *
Zip Code *
* denotes a required field.
HTML Helpers:
form=FORM(LABEL('MEID/ESN
',(SPAN('*'))),INPUT(_name='meid',_pattern="[A-F0-9]{11}|[A-F0-9]{14}",_placeholder='MEID/ESN',_required='required',_title="The
MEID/ESN number only contains 11 or 13 characters, the letters A-F, and the
numbers 0-9.",requires=[IS_LENGTH(11|14),IS_NOT_EMPTY()],
_onblur="this.checkValidity();"),BR(),LABEL('ZIP CODE
',(SPAN('*'))),INPUT(_name='zip',_type='number',_pattern="[0-9]{5}",_placeholder='Zip
Code',_required='required',_title="We only required the five character zip
code.",requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),BR(),BR(),BR(),BR(),INPUT(_type='button',_name='cancel',_value='Cancel',_onclick="history.go(-1);return
true;"),INPUT(_type='submit',_name='submit',_value='Activate'),_method='post',_id='activate_form')
if form.accepts(request,session):
response.flash = 'Form accepted'
# redirect(URL('next'))
elif form.errors:
response.flash = 'Form has errors'
return dict(form=form)
Thanks.
[web2py] Re: New member and new to web2py and need some clarification about file paths.
Thanks guys. @Massimo The
[web2py] New member and new to web2py and need some clarification about file paths.
Hello. Coming over from the php world and I started a new job where we use web2py and python. I'm trying to wrap my head around how it's handling the paths to pages I create and I can't find my answers in the docs. Probably I'm just missing it but I can't seem to figure it out. I've already created the layout.html and all the page.html files located in views/default/page.html. I added def page(): return dict() in default.py. Now I'm trying various methods of adding anchors into my html and everything returns an invalid error. For example, , , and nothing seems to work. I'm running it from 127.1.1.8000. I'm at home so I don't have my specific code here. I'm actually the designer so I'm running the web2py OSX Lion app while the developers are running Ubuntu and I've noticed a couple of things are different based on that. Perhaps the way they were doing it needs to be changed for the web2py app? Already some things that work in Linux had to be changed to work on my Mac. Also, what is the correct method to reference css and images that are located in the static/images directory? Thanks and I look forward to meeting more python developers and getting to know web2py a bit more. I'm coming over from a background in php, asp, and vb. I hate asp and vb and was forced into it where I used to work and so I'm super excited to be working with python now instead. The only good thing I took from asp was the C and that helps with iOS so it wasn't all bad but... I'll shut up now. Thanks for your help.
