Hi Jim, There is only one controllers folder in web2py/applications/<your_app>/controllers
Into that folder you place all your Python controller files. Each controller file can contain one or more functions. For example web2py/applications/<your_app>/controllers/default.py may contain functions such as def index() and def user() and web2py/applications/<your_app>/controllers/mycontroller.py may contain def foo() to call index() point your browser at http://localhost:8000/yourapp/default/index or http://localhost:8000/yourapp/default/ or http://localhost:8000/yourapp since if no function is specified index() is assumed and if no controller is specified default is assumed. to call user() point your browser at http://localhost:8000/yourapp/default/user to call foo() http://localhost:8000/yourapp/mycontroller/foo So generally the URL is mapped in the following manner. http://localhost:8000/<application>/<controller>/<function> For Views, there are folders in web2py/applications/<your_app>/views when you call http://localhost:8000/yourapp/default/index web2py/applications/<your_app>/views/default/index.html is used and for http://localhost:8000/yourapp/mycontroller/foo web2py/applications/<your_app>/views/mycontroller/foo.html So the subfolders in web2py/applications/<your_app>/views correspond to the controllers and their contents (.html files) to the functions defined in the controllers. I am not sure whether that answers your question. Do not add folders at a deeper level.
