Re: [web2py] default function in a non default controller with args - routing
Right now using the Parameter-based system for routing if we want to define different default_function for each controller we must set a list of all controllers, and then a dictionary with a list of all functions in each controller. blog=dict( controllers=['posts', 'comments'], functions=dict( posts=['list', 'create', 'show', 'edit', 'delete'], comments=['list', 'create', 'show', 'edit', 'delete'], ), default_controller='posts', default_function=dict( posts='list', comments='show', ) ), Why is this truly necessary? Shouldn't we just set the default_controller and default_function for each controller like bellow? blog=dict( default_controller='posts', default_function=dict( posts='list', comments='show', ) ), It would save lots of time, because every time you add a new controller or function you have to set it in routes and restart the server. And if you have lots of functions, and you access them with .json extension you also have to set those on the list like 'create.json' On Tuesday, July 10, 2012 5:05:44 PM UTC+1, Jonathan Lundell wrote: On 10 Jul 2012, at 6:14 AM, Anthony wrote: Thanks Anthony and Jonathan.

Thanks Anthony and Jonathan. It works!
It would be nice to have this routing documentation updated in the online
book.

When I go to http://localhost/user/john i get this: invalid function
(user/john)
I would like it to map it to http://localhost/user/show/john
So it is possible to pass args to a default function in a non default
controller without the name of the function?
Try specifying functions as a dict of lists keyed by controller names, and
include and entry for user. Something like
app = dict(
...
functions = dict(
default = [ list of functions],
user = [ list of functions ],
).
...
One other thing to pay attention to is that by default there's a function
app/default/user that manages your auth object. The router will do the
right thing, but there may be some omissions that it won't be able to do
because the conflict creates an ambiguity. In particular, the router can
normally shorten /app/default/user/whatever to /user/whatever, but it can't
do that if you have a function named user.
You can work around that by renaming your controller, or by renaming the
auth-support function and telling Auth: auth = Auth(...
function='somethingotherthanuser'...)
