For whatever reason, IRC isn't very popular with web2py folks. Instead, most activity happens here on Google Groups (some on Stack Overflow as well). This is your best bet for quick help. > [10:10] <+ludwa6> so i have installed the appliance "ManageContacts" from > http://www.web2py.com/appliances > [10:10] <+ludwa6> this looks like quite a rudimentary app > [10:11] <+ludwa6> in fact all it appears to do is manage Companies > [10:12] <+ludwa6> and even at that, when i try to add a company, it throws > this error: invalid view (default/company_create.html) > In that app, there is no /views/default/company_create.html view -- instead, it relies on /views/generic.html for that function. However, since that app was created, a change was made to disable generic views by default for security reasons. You can re-enable (on localhost) by adding the following to any model file: response.generic_patterns = ['*'] if request.is_local else [] For more details about generic views, see http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/10#Generic-views.
