I have not been looking at Web2Py for 8 months or so. Picking it up again I can see lots of improvements done.
Even though I'm impressed I have some problem with the default application. Out of the box it has: - Authentication - Nice Javascript (JQuery I assume) menus - Some generic files If I want to create a simple app that doesn't need authentication or any fancy menus I need (or want) to delete some files that are not needed. This takes time, and I'm not sure what I can delete without breaking some basic functionality like DB scaffolding. If I want an app that has all the bells and whistles I probably not only want to use the default stuff, but also extend it. That said....it would be cool if you could choose between minimal and an extended functionality when you create a new app. To do what I need I can probably study the code, but being away from Web2Py for so long that is not the greatest way to try to get back into things. So, all I am saying is that it would be great, no, actually essential to have some sort of documentation about how the parts of the default application work together. Another thing. A good introduction to Crud would be nice. In the slides it is used in many places, but it is actually not properly introduced. I can guess what it does, but I would really like a better explanation than: - db.py connects to DB, defines tables, Auth, Crud (edit this file to add tables) - There are many ways to generate forms in ........ crud.create, crud.update, crud.read (*) I hope you don't feel that I'm negative. I'm just looking for the things that will get me going with Web2Py again. Also, I now all this is being done for free, so I have no problem if the answer is "We don't have time....do it yourself if you like....". --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
