hello, by default, if some function needs auth, w2p gives back some text/html: When I work with components ajax way, I don't want my content parts to get mangled with it... 1) if I am not logged in, it would flood my tiny content area with big login page clone :) 2) in my case, I want my current content (of target div) to stay in place if I don't have permisions, (and new content should replace it only if accessible).
so I made a small patch, You can test it hear https://web2py-gae-test.appspot.com/auth_for_web2py_components/default/test its default new app with several changes in /controllers/default.py : user() /views/web2py_ajax.html : web2py_ajax_page() is it a good way? or how would be better? /controllers/default.py def user(): if request.ajax: result = auth() if not auth.user: return "ERROR" +"<br> You should %s first <br>\n" % ( A('login', _target="blank", _href=auth.settings.login_url).xml()) if isinstance(result, str): response.flash = result return "ERROR" return result # no dict(form=result) else: return dict(form=auth()) /views/web2py_ajax.html 'success': function(text) { if (text.startsWith( "ERROR" )) { jQuery('#'+target).prepend( text.substr( "ERROR".length ) ); } else { jQuery('#'+target).html(text); }
