There are many old applications in http://web2py.com/appliances some
are current, come are old, some are crap.
I encourage users to adopt an app:
- pick one
- download it and try it
- determine if it is crap and if it is let me know, I will delete it!
(*)
- try improve it (good exercise) (**)
- add your name as author, post it on github or bitbucket or google
code and send me a link.
- I will replace the app with your link
(*) an app is crap if
- does nothing useful
- uses identity.py
- perhaps if it uses t2.py or plugin_t2.py (but not necessarily, kpax
is not too bad)
(**) how to improve it?
cp from welcome layout.html, static/* appadmin.py and appadmin.html
replace whatever auth method with Auth
fix it if does not work.
replace syntax like
rows = db(...).select()
if not rows: recirect(...)
row=rows[0]
with
row = db(...).select().first() or redirect(...)
replace
form.accepts(request.vars,session)
with
form.accept(request,session)
replace
URL(r=request,c='controller',f='function',...)
with
URL('controller','function',...)
This is a good exercise.
