[web2py] Re: Hosting my web2py application
The technique we used with PHP was the php would call the python program (or any other program callable from the linux shell) and take the output from it or the files generated by it using PHP. This is not the same as generating web pages using python, or modifying the HTML to include python code (like web2py, or, I imagine, django and such) Have you looked at www.pythonanywhere.com?

It has been a while since I did anything with web2py, but I seem to recall
that if you didn't have a view for a function it would
open up a default view, which is also in a file. (Was it generic.html?)
Anyway, the point being you might want to use that
for your catch all file instead of creating your own specific file.

Solved. Just to give a tip to another newbie:
1. In mycontroler.py place the code response.view = 'myview.html' to
force executing myview.html regardless of a function name.
2. In myview.html use {{if request.function==anyviewname:}} to execute
just a block of code designed for a certain view.
Or just look inside appadmin.py and appadmin.html of your application
to get the idea.

It is very difficult to see what you are trying to accomplish in those

returning

def runfuncs():

yield(func())

[web2py] Adding fields to auth_user (and creating alternate username validation)
Still a noob, but starting to actually use web2py, and getting hands dirty: I am working on an actual web2py project (low-bandwidth word game back-end logic), and I'm finding as I make incremental changes I hit potholes on the way. I have some users who are going to the website to download alpha versions of the program. I recently enabled auth, to get registration capability. Some enthusiastic users registered before I noticed the separate username was not enabled. When I enabled it, the database records has username of None upon migration, so people couldn't log on by username. What I did is just plug in some user names which they can now change in their profile (once they find they can't log in, they can ask for their user name) In examining username, there is a limited format for user name, allowing only hyphens and decimal points. I wanted more liberal character set, but there's not simple way to extend that capability. To do that, I have to modify gluon.tools. (Starting to get messy...) So my question is: What procedure is recommended for expanding the auth_user data table, adding more fields and changing validation. Do I rewrite all of it? Can I actually subclass it and extend it? Do I edit gluon.tools in my own system? -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups web2py-users group.

Several times a day I navigate away from an editor page, either with forward or backward buttons, or a link, and sometimes I can lose a considerable amount of changes (and disturb the thought process...) Isn't there a way we can prevent the web page from being navigated away while the edit window has changed data in it? There are plenty of websites that hold me captive until I dismiss their customer satisfaction survey or indicate that I definitely don't want their deal of a lifetime. The editor must know when the data has changed, so can't it set a flag so you have to save or revert back changes before you can leave the edit page. Any ideas? I've tried to mitigate the problem by doing my editing in a separate window or IDE and doing the testing in another, but that removes all those great shortcuts that the online development environment has!

[web2py] Saving Site or App specific data: Use a special db table with one huge record?
For site persistant data, is it customary to put it
in a database table with one large record?
There are some statistical things I'd like to keep track of on the
site. Is it standard practice to define one data table that has
one large record containing the information?, for instance:
Number visitors since inception
emails sent
uploaded bytes stored
...
You don't want to pump through all your data base data for these
numbers, so it's probably more efficient to just keep them in a
file.
Is it normal to do this with a database table called something
like site_stats (or maybe app_stats, to stay in the application's
space), and simply do update_record with the changed field?
This is what I did:
in models/sitedb.py -
db.define_table('app_stats',
Field('visitors', type='integer'),
Field('emails_sent', type='integer', default=0))
--
and in my controller I had (I left in the first misfire and comment
as a future warning to others):
--
#stat_rec = db().select(db.app_stats.visitors).last()
# the above line generates a KeyError for stat_rec.update_record
# the line below worked fine
stat_rec = db(db.app_stats).select().last()
if stat_rec:
stat_rec.update_record(visitors = stat_rec.visitors + 1)
else:
stat_rec = db.app_stats(db.app_stats.insert(visitors=1))
db.commit()

Are there other ways people save this kind of data?

Trouble is, there's an endless list of pattern expressions that can be

fact, IS_ALPHANUMERIC just calls IS_MATCH).
At the very least, consider that you might want a language-dependent
IS_LETTERS, or at least one that accepts the common alphabetic variants.
However, if you do that, do it this way:
IS_MATCH('[0-9]+', strict=True)
IS_MATCH('[a-zA-Z]+', strict=True)
strict=True forces a $ at the end of the regex. Or you can just include the
$. (IS_MATCH is already anchored at the beginning of the string.)

[web2py] Creating local standalone program importing web2py models files?
I'm sure this is a very fundamental Win2py or Python thing. I'm such
a Noob.
I am writing a database populator program that I would like to run
outside the framework
to fill the database with test data.
I have been struggling with importing the models from the
application. Here's what I've tried:
I put my standalone app in web2py\alone subdirectory
to point to web2py directory, I use:
---
more_path = ..+os.sep
if more_path in sys.path:
pass
else:
sys.path.append(more_path)
--
then I find the model directory
model_path = os.path.abspath(..\\applications\\myapp\\models)
and add it to sys.path in a similar way
--
I try to import the database connection with:
--
import db
-
which complains there is no 'request'variable
so I decided to open it directly with
---
from gluon.dal import DAL, Field
db = DAL('sqlite://storage.sqlite')
-
Then when I try to import the data table statements
with
--
import pdpb # define the data tables
--
which complains there is no 'db'
I guess I need a form of import which is more like #include statements
in C or assembly programming.
Is this a scoping and/or namespace issue?
How does the web2py framework seem to load the different .py files
of a model prior to running the controller code yet have request,
session,
response variables available prior to executing the model code?
while waiting for replies, I'll just have to put the database initter
into a controller
function inside the framework. (I really don't want to have multiple
copies of duplicate table definition code.)
In summary, I'd like to create a python program outside the web2py
framework, using the same model files as used by the framework, so the
program looks somewhat like:
### some kind of path setups
import db # get database connection
import pbdb # get table definitions
db.employee.insert(last_name=Smith, first_name=Rufus)
db.commit()

[web2py] Re: routes.py and rewriting URLs
I'm a newbie too, but I see myself also prettying up my
URL's with routes.py.
Is your routes.py in the correct directory? If it is in
an application directory, it won't work. it should be in
the web2py directory.
A hint: You can always put print statements in any of your .py files
to verify they are being executed.
For your example, I would guess routes.py would look like:
---
routes_in = ( ('admin/courses','init/admin_courses/index'),)
routes_out = ( ('init/admin_courses/index', 'admin/courses'),)
print routing lists initialized...
---
and it would be in your web2py directory.
(...time passes, trying it out)
I discovered one other thing! If you edit routes.py, SHUTDOWN AND
RESTART WEB2PY!
The routing lists are initted at web2py startup, not on every http
request!

Hi,
I'm struggling with the routing in web2py and I'm hoping someone can
point me in the right direction (I'm a web2py newbie).
I want to change this (which works):
http://127.0.0.1:8000/init/admin_courses/index
to this:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/courses
but I can't get it to work with the various routes.py files. I've
followed the suggestions here:http://wiki.web2py.com/URL_Re_writing
and here:http://www.web2py.com/book/default/chapter/04#URL-Rewrite
and various others from this forum but I can't get anything other than
invalid request.
I want to do this for various controllers, for example:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/usershttp://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/users/3/assignments
(I'm coming from Rails / Symfony / Kohana so perhaps I'm trying to do
something that isn't the web2py way?)
If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly
appreciated!
Many thanks
Dave

Yes, this will create auth.settings.extra_fields['auth_user']. Once created,
you should be able to add additional fields via append().

If you are trying to append to a list, or create it if it's not
present, don't
you want to do it this way?
try:
auth.settings.extra_fields['auth_user'].append(Field('Skype'))
except:

[web2py] Re: Do we need a Web2py micro-framework , or split web2py into multiple components ?
I just recently started with web2py, and found that it
is a pretty big elephant that is hard to eat a bite (byte?)
at a time, precisely because everything's included.
Even a simple app gets and incredible amount of scaffolding.
I routinely delete the languages directory, as I don't need
the clutter during development.
I am starting to appreciate all the help the scaffolding supplies,
like the development links the layout provides during development,
but I found it confusing during learning.
Perhaps there should be a minimalist app, with an empty
model, one default controller, and one default/index.html view.
or if someone is ambitious, a new project start page with
checkboxes of the components to include or remove from the
scaffolding.
Such as:
. appadmin
. jQuery
. ajax
. SQL database
. default views
. crud
. mail
. layout.html
. css pages
. languages
. cache
. cron
Obviously, the inclusion of some require the inclusion of others.
After all, you can have a minimum hello world (as in the tutorial)
with only one file:
someapp/controllers/default.py
containing only
def index():
return Hello World!
Or perhaps a more usable minimum (with helpers) would be:
def index():
return HTML(H1('Site currently under construction. Come back
soon!'))
The Web2Py Framework is Extreme Awesomeness
But my brain hurts if I have to deal with too much of its beauty at
once.
(What started as just a +1 for reduced scaffoldings has gone on too
long already)
[web2py] I keep getting Invalid Circular Reference using Project Wizard!
I am trying to create a very straightforward database of about 5 tables (for now) but when I try to use the wizard, I always get errors. A trimmed down version follows: table employee first_name last_name picture upload table driver employee_id employee scan_tag table vehicle name picture upload table transaction_type description table transaction driver_id driver type transaction_type modified_by employee source_timestamp datetime I can never successfully enter this data through the wizard without a flash up of Invalid Circular Reference or if I skip to generate, I get a runtime error. Any clues? Rufus
[web2py] Re: I keep getting Invalid Circular Reference using Project Wizard!
I'll prefix all my field names in the wizard to avoid that keyword problem and see what happens.

[web2py] Re: I keep getting Invalid Circular Reference using Project Wizard!
Yeah, I know the fields would be prefixed twice. It was just an experiment to ensure any field names I chose didn't correspond to keywords. It worked fine when I did that, so I may have used type as was suggested here. I went through so many iterations I wasn't exactly sure which I had tried. It just wasn't very clear what the Circular Reference was referring to in the flash-up. Rufus P.S. I was trying to edit out those prefixes out of the generated files and found out what a nightmare it is trying to change a field name manually. On Jul 28, 2:20 pm, Kenneth Lundström kenneth.t.lundst...@gmail.com wrote: It should definitly not help that you Rufus prefix all fields by hand as web2pys wizard already does that automatically.

[web2py] wiki.web2py.com seems pretty broken
Is the wiki still actively supported in any way? I found a problem in a tutorial and wanted to make a correction, but I couldn't edit it (not being registered) I tried to register as a new user, and I kept getting invalid when entering a new user password. Also none of the links work on the front page. Incidentally the FAQ link on the main page here doesn't seem to work either.

[web2py] Re: DISCUSSION: Dual Desktop/Mobile Functionality
I'm new to web2py but since I have an iphone I've been interested in the mobile view/standard view capability of web2py so I've been watching this thread. Could you possibly generalize display devices even more, to even provide per-user or per-session skinning of the web page, storing the display mode/ theme/skin value in the session storage. Then controllers and views could adjust according to their own abilities. (to tell the truth, the mobile-enabled websites really tick me off when there is no way for me to force it back to the standard page.)
