Open a Python terminal, and try this example

>>> d = {'id':1,'title':'web2py'}
>>> d
{'id': 1, 'title': 'web2py'}
>>> "Title for id %(id)s is %(title)s " % d
'Title for id 1 is web2py '
>>>

Re: [web2py] new welcome (scaffolding) app

[Bruno Rocha]

Is there any chance to have that options for choose just at the moment
of app creation?

we put the name for the application, then check what do we want to have within.

May be choosing a completely blank new app or a complete one, choosing
the theme, to have or not things like Plugins, Wiki, Jquery UI etc..

and the new app based on scaffold app is created dinamically.

By the way my choice is:

I think default scaffold app needs to be clean, minimalist, a blank theme.

Re: [web2py] Re: web2py Reference Manual -- a call to arms

[Bruno Rocha]

PHP manual is great, I always use, the information are easy to find, and
connections with related subjects are simple, one advantage is that it was
written in a way that allows various applications, badges, widgets etc using
your content

I think that information in the PHP manual is organized much like a forum,
the first post is a detailed explanation, with some examples. <
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.php > The replies below are
more examples of different scenarios for the same explained function.

With a good moderation, preventing unnecessary comments for each thread,
PyForum http://www.pyforum.org/ could be a great start, may be, changing
PyForum to accept Markmin, and a good way for publish live demo examples.

Simply gather a team, and start writing, in this way each person moderates
others.

Re: [web2py] Re: web2py Reference Manual -- a call to arms

[Bruno Rocha]

Massimo, could you provide a list with reference to the files that need docs?
any way or idea, to separate, distribute the tasks, manage the
versions and make the moderation of docstrings.

I can help with that, a little every day, I reserve some hours of my
day for this task, it would be interesting even to me, so I learn more
about the framework, and it helps me to formulate training material
for my Python-Web2py classes, and to write the articles to the blog
and IT-Magazine that I mentioned to you by mail.

I agree with you, and I believe in future the documentation generated
in docstring could be shifted toward an easy reference guide.

Furthermore, I advocate using a help forum (PyForum), instead of
concentrating everything in the group,I like most of the style of
organizing a forum, I'm pretty used to seek help in ubuntuforuns and
several others, IMHO Forum has much more effective role in providing
help than a list like this, forum is easy to search, best indexed by
search engines, best with usability, navigation etc.

How can we start with docstrings?

I ike the new visual style, just think it should be centralized or fluid.
strings of the README are not all being very well translated into
Portuguese, I can send you the language file for that.

why the administration interface does not have the same new visual

> response.meta.mycustomfield='bla bla bla'

I wasn't referring to custom fields in the header, It's about custom
fields in the wiki pages table.

if I need for example: create categories for pages, include more
information that are not part of the page body( and for that I am
using the title field).
Would like to have custom fields without having to change the model,
there is a ready way?

I am trying to create my own widget to do this by creating a new table
"page_custom_fields" related to the ID of the page. but, if there is
already an easy(ready) way.

just to clarify, I'm migrating my blog from wordpress to cube2py, so
I'm trying to implement what I have in wordpress using widgets.

I made changes in authentication, comments and tags are ok.
My needs now are: SEO (partially solved, because I want to do this
using db custom fields),
and obviously the way to create custom fields in database, using wiki
markup ( a widget) .

Re: [web2py] Wiki in Chap 3 of Documentation

[Bruno Rocha]

I have this app working fine, but I had to change the search to:

controller:

def search():
 "an ajax wiki search page"
 return dict(form=FORM(INPUT(_id='keyword',
  _onkeyup="ajax('bg_find', ['keyword'], 'target');")),
  target_div=DIV(_id='target'))

def bg_find():
 "an ajax callback that returns a  of links to wiki pages"
 pattern = '+ request.vars.keyword.lower() + '
 pages = 
db(db.page.title.lower().like('%'+request.vars.keyword.lower()+'%')).select(orderby=db.page.title)
 items = [A(row.title, _href=URL(r=request, f=show, args=row.id))
for row in pages]
 return UL(*items).xml()
 #return UL(LI(request.vars.keyword.lower()))

View:

{{extend 'layout.html'}}
Search wiki pages
[ {{=A('listall', _href=URL(r=request, f='index'))}}]
{{=form}}{{=target_div}}


If you need, I can attach a w2p package here.

[web2py] [Plugin_wiki] - Manage categories for blog pages and posts

[Bruno Rocha]

Hello, I'm migrating my blog from wordpress to web2py, and to make
this possible, I'm creating and testing a series of widgets in
plugin_wiki.

My intention is to create a blog platform to be based only on the
plugin_wiki custom widgets, creating tables and defining widgets
through "meta-code.

I do not want to  change models, controllers and views, not touching
the core of the framework or plugin.

I already have several widgets almost ready, generally cloning
wordpress features.

The first widget I'm testing at GAE is the widget to manage the
categories of pages, and make possible to diff pages from posts, and
post categories

It is available at this link: http://web2pybrasil.appspot.com/c2p/

I need suggestions, am I going the right way?
could improve this code, save resources and etc?

Is running on GAE, and therefore needed to adapt some things

someone is willing to help?

Thank you.

Re: [web2py] best way to take advantage of sidebar in layout.html

[Bruno Rocha]

if you define a function sidebar in your model

sidebar.py

def sidebar():
return SPAN('teste') #this could return anything to be rendered in sidebar

You can call that in any view, even yout layout.html:

default/index.html
...

README
{{=sidebar()}}

...

[web2py] Error after a page is deleted in plugin_wiki

[Bruno Rocha]

I found an error in the model plugin_wiki.
1. Create a new page
2. make some changes to include entries in the table
plugin_wiki_page_archive
3. Appadmin go through the table .. _archive and view the historic
4. Delete the page you created
5. Visit again .. _archive through appadmin

I guess that is related to cascate deletions, but in this case the archive
entry dont have to be deleted.

I'm trying to create a logic to excluding categories of pages that have
already been excluded from _page table. [1]

Re: [web2py] Re: Error after a page is deleted in plugin_wiki

[Bruno Rocha]

To solve my problem<http://www.web2pyslices.com/main/slices/take_slice/92>,
I did:

#Category CleanUp
def categoryClean():
"""
Check if a category exists for a deleted page, then delete the dead category
"""
#populate a set with pages in db
dbpages = set()
[dbpages.add(item.slug) for item in
db(db.plugin_wiki_page.id>0).select(db.plugin_wiki_page.slug) ]
#populate a set with pages referenced by categories
dbcats = set()
[dbcats.add(item.slug) for item in
db(db.category.id>0).select(db.category.slug)]
#cleanup dead entries
if dbcats-dbpages:
[db(db.category.slug==page).delete() for page in dbcats-dbpages ]


It will be better if a page was disabled.

Re: [web2py] call a function in another controller

Re: [web2py] Re: call a function in another controller

[Bruno Rocha]

Take a controller called math.py

def sum():
 return 1+2 #returns 3


In any view



 $(document).ready(function(){
   $('#button').click(function(){
ajax("{{=URL(r=request, c='math',f='sum.load')}}",'','target');
return false;
});
 });


CLICK HERE



The last tip, could be writen as:

{{=LOAD(url=URL(r=request,c='math',f='sum.load'), ajax=True)}}

Re: [web2py] call a function in another controller

[Bruno Rocha]

Just as an example

teste.py

def sum():

return int(request.args(0)) + int(request.args(1))


any view:



 $(document).ready(function(){
   $('#button').click(function(){
ajax("{{=URL(r=request,
c='teste',f='sum.load',args=[1,2])}}",[],'target');
return false;
});
 });


CLICK HERE

RETURNS 3

With input fields:

teste.py

def sum():

return  request.vars.name*10

view



 $(document).ready(function(){
   $('#button').click(function(){
ajax("{{=URL(r=request, c='teste',f='sum.load')}}",['name'],'target');
return false;
});
 });





CLICK HERE

RETURNS name*10

Also fails on JQGRID Search,
I Know GAE has some limitations performing LIKE, so I think if this have no
solution, may be disabled when running in GAE.

I Solved my problem in a hard way with a custom widget, the only way I found
to perform %LIKE% on GAE

@staticmethod
def searchPages(string=None,nfmessage='Nothing found with %s'):
"""
string: string to be found
"""
found = set()
if string:
#search in slug
pages =
db(db.plugin_wiki_page.id>0).select(db.plugin_wiki_page.slug)
for page in pages:
if page.slug.find(string) > -1:
found.add(page.slug)

if found:
return UL(*[LI(row) for row in found])

Re: [web2py] Re: crud.search() fails on GAE with plugin_wiki

[Bruno Rocha]

Thanks Massimo, however, using set() I assure distict elements, using your
LAMBDA solution, entries may duplicate.
SEARCH to plugin_wiki is running here :
http://web2pybrasil.appspot.com/cursoweb2py/

I need to search in different fields using a %LIKE% operator, my code now
needs some improvement to be more DRY,
and a way to cache search or create a table to store indexes.



search pages in GAE:

found = set()
string = request.vars.search

if string:
#need to encapsulate all search below in a single function
#search in slug
pages =
db(db.plugin_wiki_page.id>0).select(db.plugin_wiki_page.slug)
#how to cache pages object?
for page in pages:
if page.slug.find(string) > -1:
found.add(page.slug)

#search in page body
pages =
db(db.plugin_wiki_page.id>0).select(db.plugin_wiki_page.slug,db.plugin_wiki_page.body)
#how
to cache pages object?
for page in pages:
if page.body.find(string) > -1:
found.add(page.slug)

#search in page body
pages =
db(db.plugin_wiki_page.id>0).select(db.plugin_wiki_page.slug,db.plugin_wiki_page.title)
#how
to cache pages object?
for page in pages:
if page.title.find(string) > -1:
found.add(page.slug)

#search in tags
#TO-DO

if found:
return UL(*[LI(*[A(db(db.plugin_wiki_page.slug==row)\

 .select(db.plugin_wiki_page.title)[0].title,\

_href=URL(r=request,f='page',args=[row,]))])\

[web2py] Doubt on plugin_wiki meta pages

[Bruno Rocha]

At plugin_wiki index there is:

InfoPages started with undescore are considered system pages. In particular:

>>> Can I create a page started with _ ? e.g _mycustomsystempage ?


   - meta-code  must contain code
   and it will be executed for every page.
   - meta-menu  must contain a
   description of the menu.
   - meta-header  conatins the
   content of the header.
   - meta-sidebar  conatins the
   content of the sidebar.
   - meta-footer  conatins the
   content of the footer.

>>> That means I can create any meta- page and it will be executed under
web2py env?

[web2py] Plugin_wiki - the URL() helper has changed in version 1.81.5?

[Bruno Rocha]

##plugin_wiki
There was some change in the URL() helper, from 1.81.4 to 1.81.5?

To the search widget in <
http://web2pybrasil.appspot.com/cursoweb2py/default/index>
before, in 1.81.4 I did this:

return UL(*[LI(*[A(db(db.plugin_wiki_page.slug==row)\

.select(db.plugin_wiki_page.title)[0].title,\

_href=URL(r=request,f='page',args=[row,]))])\
for row in found])


and the result was:
Home

but trying localy with the new version 1.81.5 the result is:

Home

Notice, that I am doing it with ajax() to load the item list

$('#search').keyup(function(){
ajax("{{=URL(r=request,
c='plugin_wiki',f='page.load/searchpages')}}",['search'],'target');
return false;
});

Why .load is being appended to the url generated by URL() ?

Something that can be done to continue as before?

Tks

.load is not appended to the link.

[web2py] plugin_wiki - Ajax to save pages?

[Bruno Rocha]

 to save a page in plugin_wiki page editor, we have to submit the page or
focus in page title then hit enter.

As I am writing large pages, I have 2 displays when editing a page, first to
edit the code, and the other to frequently refresh and view the result.

It is so annoying to submit the page every time I need to have a preview, is
there any way to save the page code via Ajax, just like appadmin edit_area ?

or may be, to have a preview panel, as you can see when editing a slice on <
web2pyslices.com> or the one used to edit markdown in

Re: [web2py] Re: fun with metaclasses

[Bruno Rocha]

I completelly agree with Jonathan, I also want to have a deeper explanation
on DAL backgrounds.

web2py is Agile enough for me and for my development team, but, sometimes we
spent more time trying to figure out "how to" to some things, and testing
alternatives than developing real solutions.

The book is very good when we need to solve common and trivial things,
otherwise when we need to go further. The only solution has been testing,
looking for examples, using this list, or in many cases reading the source
code and trying to understand what is happening behind the scenes. It costs
a great time.

As was mentioned in the "why I hate Django" video, using frameworks you gain
time in the early stages, but lost much more in that we need to refine and
tune up applications.

For this reason I support a forum , IMHO, until we have a
broader and deeper documentation, a forum would be much more usable than
this list, and the DRY concept could be applied more easily to posts in a
forum, rather than messages in this list.
Forum can do things like a good search engine, sintax highlighting,
screenshots embeded in to the context
and yet it is possible to create mechanisms for threads to be followed by
email, and people could start new threads by email as well.  Perhaps using
markmin syntax to include files, highlight the code, and things ... more

This type of platform could be better used to build further documentation.

why not support and start an official web2py forum?

Re: [web2py] Re: fun with metaclasses

[Bruno Rocha]

It is impossible not to use the official book as a reference. since the book
is the only official documentation available.
I use it for  writing a series of tutorials and handouts, used for training
that I will give, and I'm also writing a documentation in Portuguese, for
beginners with web2py.

In all cases, the Official Book has been used as a reference, and often
translated and quoted.

I support the creation of a platform for documentation, but once the
incentive does not come through Massimo and development team.

I believe that nobody will feel motivated to get something in the dark.

[web2py] plugin_wiki suggestions

[Bruno Rocha]

Sorry again, I am creating a new thread about plugin_wiki.

I wonder if there is any public place where we can write suggestions,
criticisms, and send questions exclusively about plugin_wiki, markmin and
cube2py?

-- 

http://rochacbruno.com.br

Re: [web2py] Re: plugin_wiki suggestions

[Bruno Rocha]

I am developing and writing a lot with plugin_wiki (cube2py). I already have
some suggestions, observations and have also found some bugs.
As I'm finding more issues, I will posting here in this thread. If someone
else has something to add, enjoy the thread.

I am working now on this page : http://web2pybrasil.appspot.com/cursoweb2py/

*
*
*Bugs I Found:*

-* **Comments Widget*
I noticed that the comments widget is restricted to logged in users, the
code that generates the widget has requires_login (), this is great for
protecting users not logged in to write.
however, as the same widget generates the form for adding a comment, and
also generates a list of comments to display, it is not possible to display
existing comments to a user who is not logged.
I suggest dividing into two widgets, one to generate the form of insertion,
and this would be protected. And another to generate a list of existing
comments, and this would free reading. this last could be used in another
place eg:  to show recent comments for a page.

-* Searches with crud.search and jqgrid on GAE*
I got error using crud.search and jqgrid widgets, as GAE does not allow to
perform LIKE, StartsWIth, EndsWith, Contains, etc, while do not have any
workarround, I think that options should be disabled When it is detected
that is working in GAE


*Suggestions:*( Too many things. Sorry )

- *Widget_Builder:*
Binds the code generated by widget builder direct to the page content
editor, I think it is not hard to do with JavaScript, preventing the
copy-paste when using widget builder

- *Widget* *Messages customization*
Include the total capacity for customize the output messages  in the
standard widgets. "load_action" and "load_url" eg uses AJAX and display the
message "loading", it would be nice to have how to pass as a parameter, a
new message to be displayed, it is usefull for translating.

- *Blank lines, white space:*
Markdown for example set spaces by using two blank spaces at the end of each
line to make a break, I'm developing a lot with plugin_wiki and had to
create a function just to give me white space and blank lines.
``{{=br(2)}}``:template

- *Categories:*
wiki or any other type of page created with plugin_wiki, IMHO, will need
some kind of category management. it is not difficult to implement as
standard, without having to create custom widgets, as I had to do.

- *Search: *
I created a custom widget that performs searches in titles, slugs, and body
of the pages, and it is running on GAE,  I believe this should be used as a
widget placed on the meta-header, or meta-sidebar for example. but could be
part of the plugin itself, considering that this is a basic need of any wiki
page.

- *Link Targets:*
I do not think there is a specific reason not to open external links in a
wiki page, wikipedia does, it would be interesting to receive the parameter
"target" by default in the marking of a [[link]] as [[linktitle
http://linkurl  blank]]

- *Preview and Saving: *
It is very annoying having to submit  the page every time we need to save,
then to have a preview, the saving could happen with AJAX and have option to
view a Preview window.

- *Lists:*
 In ordered and unordered lists creates with - and +, Needs a way to create
sublevels with lists, maybe -- and ++
- A Topic
-- Subtopic of A Topic
--- Subtopic of a subtopic of A Topic
-- Another subtopic of A Topic

+ A Topic
++ Subtopic of A Topic
+++ Subtopic of a subtopic of A Topic
++ Another subtopic of A Topic

- *Page auto reference:*
It would be interesting to have a variable that works as ALIAS to reference
the page itself, when I need to reference the current page into a widget I
use {{= request.args(0)}} would be more interesting to use something like
"THISPAGE"

- *Wiki Pages management: *
Wiki Pages management "plugin_wiki / index" tends to get a little confusing
as the number of existing pages grows, it would be interesting to have
pagination, search, categorization.

- *Meta Pages: *
As a developer I use a lot the page meta-code, but as the code grows, things
start getting difficult to administer, would have the option to create more
pages like meta-code, for example meta-code- xxx, meta-code-something,
meta-code-anynameigive, and they have the same operation of the meta-code.

By Now , that's it. As Im using I will send more thoughts about it.
I am available for any help or tests you need.

{{=thanks}}

Re: [web2py] Re: plugin_wiki suggestions

[Bruno Rocha]

I Just found one more thing:

take this page by example:
http://web2pybrasil.appspot.com/cursoweb2py/plugin_wiki/page/curso-web2py-002

now add a ".code" to he action

http://web2pybrasil.appspot.com/cursoweb2py/plugin_wiki/page.code/curso-web2py-002

even logged out, you can see the code behind the page, as we pass parameters
to custom widgets, I think this could not happens.

but, it is usefull to still have page.load, page.xml, page.json, and
page.rss functions.

Re: [web2py] Re: plugin_wiki suggestions

But the ".code" thing, is usefull for editors, so there is a way to ".code"
output be available only to logged in editor users?

its usefull to check the code as in

Re: [web2py] Re: plugin_wiki suggestions

[Bruno Rocha]

One more suggestion for today.

It will be great to create new pages from "template", as creating a template
page with standard texts, widgets and other stuff, we have any way to
duplicate that page.

actually just creating a way to duplicate certain page will do that work.

I do not want the url: http://127.0.0.1/HelloWorld/default/index
I need http://127.0.0.1/index

that points me to the place I need, but raises INVALID REQUEST

I tried to remane my app to 'init' but does not works too.

Where can I find more detailed explanation on routes.py ?

SlideShow widget also does not runs on GAE.

try it; http://web2pybrasil.appspot.com/init/plugin_wiki/page/images

the code: http://web2pybrasil.appspot.com/init/plugin_wiki/page.code/images

Given an image saved as BLOB in GAE, how to retrieve this image URL to put
it on Wiki Page body?

[web2py] Exporting data from GAE BigTable

[Bruno Rocha]

Hello, I'm writing a lot of text using cube2py running on GoogleAppEngine.
All content written in cube2py is stored in the database, and I need to do a
backup.

Is there a way to use DAL to export records in a given table?
I know it may be possible to do this by creating action.json or action.xml,
 table by table.
But is there any easier way, someone already did?

Another BUG in markmin render

**text** renders as text

**text:** renders as **text:**

the same happens if we put any mark, point or accent as the last in Markup


**text()** renders as **text()**

where should render as text()

I can do for plugin_wiki chapter, as I am working a lot with that.

let me know about standard format for the image and min-max size/scale, I
use default MacOs screenshot tool ( shift+command+4)

Do you want only selection of the funcionality?, zooming ?, just

Running locally InstantPress looks awesome, quickly, beauty/clean layout and
I loved the way you treat Admin Buttons.

Congratulations!

But, this could not works on GAE, I saw a lot of code that is not allowed on
GAE, you are using .like() in get_lats_pots_with_search()

Today I will try to run it on GAE, testing  some workarround, then I report
you.

Re: [web2py] Re: rewrite url using routes.py

[Bruno Rocha]

I really tried every example given,
but no one works on GAE

I cant figure out how to change this:

http://web2pybrasil.appspot.com/init/plugin_wiki/page/home

to this:

http://web2pybrasil.appspot.com/page/home

Re: [web2py] Re: plugin_wiki suggestions

[Bruno Rocha]

Another suggestion:

 should be the page.title field of plugin_wiki_page just
including response.title = page.title to page controller

def page():
"""
shows a page
"""
slug = request.args(0) or 'index'
w = db.plugin_wiki_page
page = db(w.slug==slug).select().first()
response.title = page.title
if not auth.user and (not page or not page.public or not page.active):
redirect(URL(r=request,c='default',f='user',args='login'))
elif not plugin_wiki_editor and (not page or not page.public or not
page.active):
raise HTTP(404)
elif page and page.role and not auth.has_membership(page.role):
raise HTTP(404)
if request.extension=='load': return plugin_wiki.render(page.body)
if request.extension!='html': return page.body
return dict(page=page,slug=slug)

- Page History
page history does not works on GAE,
http://web2pybrasil.appspot.com/init/plugin_wiki/page_history/home  Fails
and raises a ticket


There is a limit to history entries per page?

I mean, if I edit a page too many times this will create too many entries in
plugin_wiki_page_history
I think it needs a limit, may be 20 entries per page like a FIFO

Re: [web2py] Re: A Call to Arms - Necessary and KILLER Apps for Web2py

[Bruno Rocha]

I am using cube2py(plugin_wiki) as a CMS, for my site I am using markmin to
write in, it is a quite difficult and needs some improvement, I like markin
syntax and I will keep markmin to the site.

besides, is it easy to turn plugin_wiki in to a Simple CMS ( able to run on
GAE).

In Model:
change plugin_wiki_mode = 'markmin' to plugin_wiki_mode = 'html'

Editor:
Change the default WSIWYG to CKeditor

Include a category widget for each page:
http://web2pyslices.com/main/slices/take_slice/92 ( alpha )

I'm trying to build a CMS / blog, using plugin_wiki as a platform, I wish to
include some changes to the plugin_wiki core, and everything else can be
extended with widgets, components etc..

Take a look:

Thats the way I found to perform LIKE() search in GAE, it is ugly (I know)
but works.. I am waiting for any feature to replace this.

string = request.vars.search

Texy features are very good http://texy.info/en/syntax

I would like markmin to implement all that features in a beauty way.

Re: [web2py] Re: plugin_wiki suggestions

[Bruno Rocha]

Thanks, Massimo

I have no doubt, I will keep the markmin as markup language for my site, I
did a comparison and I write much faster with markmin than with LaTeX,
markdown, html Or Another.

I'll do everything possible to contribute on issues that I have knowledge. if
I get some success will send a patch.

I suggested using the page title as  by questions of SEO,
concatenating site name + pageTitle:
 My Wiki Site | My Page Title   Considering that plugin_wiki
can be used as a CMS platform (as in my case).

{{=thanks*10}}

Re: [web2py] Re: A Call to Arms - Necessary and KILLER Apps for Web2py

[Bruno Rocha]

Thanks Massimo!

I am learning a lot about the way you use lambda: in web2py.

now my search is really faster.

is there any chance to do:

myrows = db(..).select().GAELIKE('string')   or
myrows = db(...).select().like(string)   or may be
myrows = GAELIKE(db.().select(),'string')

pointing to you solution? than this could solve the problem.



I am doing this:

*Search page (meta-sidebar):*


$('#search').keyup(function(){
ajax("{{=URL(r=request,
c='plugin_wiki',f='page.load/searchpages')}}",['search'],'target');
return false;
});

Search





*page/searchpages:*

``
name: searchPages
string: {{=request.args(1)}}
nfmessage: Nothing found with the word (%s)
``:widget

*the widget just as you said:*

@staticmethod
def searchPages(string=None,nfmessage='Nothing found with %s'):

string = request.vars.search
pages = db(db.plugin_wiki_page.id>0).select().find(lambda row:string
and (string in row.slug or string in row.body or string in row.title) and
not row.slug.startswith('meta'))
if string:
if pages:
return 'Results %s  ' %
UL(*[LI(A(XML(page.title),_href=URL(request.application,'plugin_wiki','page',args=page.slug)))
for page in pages])
else:
return nfmessage % string
else:
return ''

'Bad English'*2 ... I mean my english is worse than yours.

 your method get_last_post_with_search()  can be replaces with the solution
using .find() posted here,
now we have to find ways to port use the not operators ("!=" and "~")  and
mixed queries (db.image.id==id)&(db.image.title=='').

Image upload is also a problem, I have no sucess when trying to download an
image from GAE Blob.

[web2py] Is it possible to close the source of an app made with plugin_wiki?

[Bruno Rocha]

I saw this post - > "So ... you want to make and sell a closed source
windows exe web2py app? Http://bit.ly/aNWRgi"

And I was thinking, if it is possible to package an application developed
with plugin_wiki and distribute closed source?

I am not sure how this works internally, but since the plugin_wiki executes
code that can be stored in database, within meta-pages, and template widget.

Is it possible to package parts of the application and still perform the
meta codes at run-time?

Just curious.

Re: [web2py] Re: plugin_wiki suggestions

[Bruno Rocha]

Useful suggestion:

markmin currently does not allow the creation of references to links, this
is very useful when the written material might be used for printing as
well. thus present a list of links referenced in the footnote.

with markdown, we can do:
This is [an example] [id] reference-style link.
Then, anywhere in the document, you define your link label like this, on a
line by Itself:
[Id]: http://example.com/ "Optional Title Here"

Re: [web2py] Re: cube2py news

[Bruno Rocha]

I found a trick to do that

as #anchor marked with [[anything]] is rendered as  ( which I am not sure if it is a good html pratice
)

BTW, I solved my problem on white spaces with CSS

[[br]] =  I want 
[[brbr]] =  I want 

the CSS

#br{
height:15px;
line-height:15px;
display:block;
}
#brbr{
height:30px;
line-height:15px;
display:block;
}
#hr{
width:100%;
height:2px;
border-top: 1px solid black;
display:block;
}

I also modified markin.py to render  just for curiosity, but I decide to
stay with only CSS

regex_br = re.compile('\[\[\sbr\s\]\]')  and [[ br ]] is rendered as  by
defining text = regex_br.sub('')

LOL

Really sorry when I read the thread mentioned above got the number on the
head, I even mentioned as being the current version on my site. (just
corrected)

web2py use a crawler to pull the version information directly to the
appadmin. it is possible to embed in any other place?

I i'll take a look into appadmin source now.

Sry...

Re: [web2py] Re: plugin_wiki with 1.82.1 "meta" page error

[Bruno Rocha]

Take a look in your layout.html

when you create meta- pages, is expected to yout layout.html to render that
code..

HEADER


  
{{=auth.navbar('Welcome',URL(r=request,c='default',f='user'))}}

  {{=*plugin_wiki.embed_page('meta-header')* or XML('%s%s'
% (response.title, response.subtitle))}}


SIDEBAR


  {{=*plugin_wiki.embed_page('meta-sidebar') *or ''}}



FOOTER


  {{=*plugin_wiki.embed_page('meta-footer')* or XML('© 2010. Design

Re: [web2py] Re: web2py and SEO

[Bruno Rocha]

SEO is basically done through:

page title (response.meta.title)
page keywords ( response.meta.keywords)
page description ( response.meta.description)

plus:
the robots.txt file under website root directory,
good practices for creating links and inserting images,
Semantic html markup ( I mean always including "name" , "alt", "title" for
relevant tags),
and also using correctly the most relevant tags (h1,h2,h..., , 
etc )

And one of the most important thing: Build a sitemap [1]

web2py is ready to do all that, but we need to do it all from the scratch,
what we need now is a helper or a mechanism to make it more user friendly.As
is done by the plugin ALL-IN-ONE-PACK-SEO on wordpress for example.

Re: [web2py] Re: web2py and SEO

[Bruno Rocha]

I believe that a simple helper, to be called in any view or controller is
enought, imagine:

view:

{{extend 'layout.html'}}

{{SEO(title='My Product view',

 keywords='phones,calls,smartphone',

 description='This is a phone seller site made with web2py',

 author='me',

 sitemap=['/products/categories/phones']

}}

Choose your phone
...

...

...


Another important thing is the page slug, even if the action is called
e.g: "showproduct" and that expect an product id for a product named
"XPTO smartphone", then
"/showprodict/id" needs to be accessible by "/showproduct/xpto-smartphone"
but it is a database design matter, I dont know how web2py could help with that.

In this example you are declaring globally.
The problem is that SEO variables. must be unique for each view, and
sometimes, must be built according to the parameters received, as in the
example of Canonical URLS.

take this example:
/ Showproduct/01 the url needs to be changed to /showproduct/foo-smartphone

and also title of the page needs to be amended in accordance with the
product,
response.title = "my phone shop | phones | Smartphone foo"
response.keywords = "foo, phone, brand, 3G, 5 mp cam"

Regarding the sitemap is a good point to look how this is being done out
there, to get an idea:

Re: [web2py] Re: Some MARKMIN questions

[Bruno Rocha]

In Markmin double spaces between lines or paragraphs breaks the line, but
only one break is allowed, sometimes we need more space.

I think it's extremely necessary to use  sometimes. Markdown and
wikimedia does.

I'm writing a lot and need to convert to PDF, the way I'm doing the css code
is not considered in the conversion.
So I'm using  :template   to solve the problem, it is very ugly..
but works..

I created a function to render that then I call as ``{{=br(4)}}``:template
which returns ''

Re: [web2py] Sessions

[Bruno Rocha]

The problem that Session variables have to overcome is that the HTTP
protocol that you use to browse the web is stateless. Each request for a
page is completely independant of earlier requests, so if you want  to
"remember" the variables you have to store that information somewhere. This
remembering of user-specific data is called "maintaining state".

Session lives until browser is openned to keep the session relation with the
cookie that stores the session ID,
if you want to mantain  session variables active for a long time, you have
to create a cookie, specify the cookie duration, insert your values to the
cookie and also check if the cookie exists on every page load.

You can save the information in a database as explained here:
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/04?search=session#session

also you have to save a cookie that refers to that register in database, or
if you want, you can save the whoke information in the cookie.

I dont know any other trick to maintain state with web2py, anybody?

Re: [web2py] Sessions

[Bruno Rocha]

If I understand, he wants to save session values, even the user closes the
browser and returns after.

if you set e.g one week to the cookie time limit, this will keep the
reference to the session ID, but I dont think this will automaticaly keep
the session values. ( what if the server restarts?)

To maintain the state, I guess you have to store the values anywhere, even
inside the cookie. Then you have to check if the cookie exists Am I
wrong?

Re: [web2py] Book in Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and Russian (sort of)

[Bruno Rocha]

Portuguese version is really funny :o| , absolutelly wrong, as portuguese is
a "strange", non semantic and complex language.

Look how the Python Chapter were translated back into english..

- Python is a general purpose,  and about programming of very high level
languages.

By the way, this is very useful to be used as a guide for a human
translator.

[web2py] lightning speech - Web2py - A framework for human beings

[Bruno Rocha]

On August 22 will present the lightning speech (only 5 minutes) at TDC2010 (
The Developers Conference ) in São Paulo - Brazil

TDC is a big event in São Paulo, with trails of speeches on various subjects
related to software development.

on sunday, Python will be the subject of a full day of speeches, I will try
in just five minutes to show an overview of web2py and provide a focus on
the DAL.

any idea or advice?

Re: [web2py] Problems with GAE auth :(

[Bruno Rocha]

The first place where I always search for help is *THE ORACLE* :

http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#uyCl3L51_dI/gluon/contrib/login_methods/gae_google_account.py&q=GaeGoogleAccount%20package:http://web2py%5C.googlecode%5C.com

class GaeGoogleAccount(CasAuth):"""Login will be done via
Google's Appengine login object, instead of web2py'slogin form.
Include in your model (eg db.py)::from
gluon.contrib.login_methods.gae_google_account
<#uyCl3L51_dI&q=file:(/%7C%5E)gluon/contrib/login_methods/gae_google_account(/__init__)%3F%5C.py$&exact_package=http://web2py.googlecode.com/hg/&is_navigation=1>
import \GaeGoogleAccount
auth.settings.login_form=GaeGoogleAccount()"""


So if you are out of GAE and need to Auth using GMAIL you have to use
*email_auth
or RPX ( rpx can auth with a wide range of accounts, facbeook, twitter,
gmail...)*

http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=email_auth+package:http://web2py\.googlecode\.com&origq=email_auth&btnG=Search+Trunk



def email_auth(server="smtp.gmail.com:587",

Re: [web2py] using URL() inside a component view

[Bruno Rocha]

I Solved using this way:

URL(request.application,'default','view_detail',args=[rec.contact.id])

.load is not appended to the link.

PLUS: If you need an example on how to auth with gmail account,
look at pyforum source code:  http://pyforum.org/

"extension=False" is new to me, Thats not covered by the Book

I found and reported that before :

Re: [web2py] using URL() inside a component view

[Bruno Rocha]

Thank you agains 4 the explanation,

now, this should be documented anywhere, as this is not on the book (
http://web2py.com/book/default/search?search=extension ) also not in
AlterEgo ( http://www.web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/search?search=extension )

Re: [web2py] reminder about last book edit

[Bruno Rocha]

I dont know if timeline has ended but...

URL helper has an "extension" parameter, as we can see here:

http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#uyCl3L51_dI/gluon/html.py&q=URL
package:http://web2py\.googlecode\.com&sa=N&cd=1&ct=rc&l=119

But not here: http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/04?search=URL(#URL

Re: [web2py] using URL() inside a component view

[Bruno Rocha]

I thought your explanation is very well written,
we need always maintain the practice of looking for something relevant to be
documented when a new thread emerges, and document as quickly as possible,
so soon web2py will be the framework with the best online documentation (if
not already)

Massimo, please ignore my last reply about that.
