OK, I will try to be specific from a newbie perspective. How does the Javascript menu work?
I assume that you build a structure with HTML and then set the class or id to something that JQuery will turn into a menu. I can easily extend it, but I cannot easily find (in the code) what makes it tick. Basically the relationship between the files web2py_ajax.html, layout.html and menu.py could be explained. What to do with the generic files? I know how what generic.html does, but I'm not sure about the rest. Does generic.rss return, your site as feed (sounds unlikely) or should you extend it. I searched and found this information: http://www.web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/show/226 which gives me an idea, but I'm still not sure. Why is there a menu.py file in the models section? I know that things in the model section will be run first, but that is not entirely obvious. It seems that Crud is creating the forms for the table administration, can you leave it if you don't need the administration? I realize that all the information is there, but it is somewhat hard to find....google searches mainly returns hits to google groups. If all the details of the default app was explained in one place I suspect it would be extremely helpful to newbies and people who are returning after a longer break. I suppose the reason why I bring all this up is that I looked at Django before Web2Py. The learning curve of Django is very steep compared to Web2Py, and I just don't wish (not that I have any say in it) web2py to go in the same direction. IMHO if its too much work to give a good overview of the default app then its too big as an example. I don't want to make an issue of this (I still love web2py) so feel free to take my statements "as is" and please don't feel obliged to give comments. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
