I also suggest another modification, to have a global messaging system in any application in db.py for the welcome scaffolding application, I suggest adding:
from gluon.storage import Messages messages = Messages(T) Now a developer is free to set all his messages using the messages reference and his messages will be translated on the fly so I can do : messages.hello_messag = 'Hello' and use it anywhere in my application This is very useful because in an environment where many developers work on the same application, they need a unified messages to use otherwise application will end up with many many similar messages in fact hello application can have another new model named messages.py with : from gluon.storage import Messages messages = Messages(T) and developers can set/check message from there
