I read this post in the group: http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/6201f9f56bdb16d6, and I am facing a similar problem.
I have one web2py installation in which I have a base application which contains all shared files i.e .js and .css files. Within this application I also defined all database tables, so all .table files are in the databases folder of this application. Furthermore this web2py installation contains an init application and b2c, b2b, crm applications. The db.py files of these applications are copies of the db.py of the base application with all migrates set to False. From the post mentioned above I understand I can make a function of the base app's db.py, name it db_stuff.py and put it in the base application's modules file: /web2py/applications/base/modules/db_stuff.py My first question is: how do I make a function of a db.py file, and which parts of the db.py file should the function contain? Then, I should write an import statement in each of the applications db.py files: local_import('db_stuff',app='base') My second question is: what code do these db.py files contain apart from the import statement? Kind regards, Annet.
