[web2py] Re: In appadmin clicking on the "file" trying to load it in the browser..

[mdipierro]

Is this an app you started some time ago? Could you try move
controllers/appadmin.py and views/appadmin.html from the latest
welcome into your app and see if the problem persists?

[web2py] Re: please help us test new web site

[mdipierro]

We cannot start another logo contest... we have tried it before and we
did not get much further.

Bruno has created more than a logo. He has created a visual identity
and completely rewritten the examples app.

This was on the todo list for more than one year and nobody else did
it. He did. A major change in the logo would just bring us to square
one. There are also trademark and possible conflict issues that are
complex and have been taken into consideration here.

Yet minor changes to the new examples app and to the logo are possible
I guess and all comments here will be taken into consideration. In
particular I think Wobmofo has a valid point. It is also true that we
do not intentionally want to give web2py a dark/bad connotation so if
we can lighten up the logo a bit that is worth a try.

adding the three attempt limit is a good idea.

Oops, yeah.  We should have a check for that. It would be nice to have 
the option upgrade the appadmin as well, I totally forgot about it.

When you meet him why don't you give him a TSL private key+signed cert
on a USB key?
Then you will allow access only if cert is properly signed.  the
private key can be protected by a secret.
It is easier to do than it seems at first :-)

[web2py] Only 1 {{extend ...}} allowed in a view ?

[Stef Mientki]

 hello,

I'm trying to make a visible view of the layout components (html, css etc).

Is it correct that in each view,
it's allowed to have at most 1 {{extend ...}}  ?

thanks,

Great work with the new web2py site!  I like how well the top and

resources about web2py that I didn't realize were available.

I have one question.  Do you think the twitter link should direct
people to the twitter search for web2py, as opposed to the web2py
twitter account?  http://twitter.com/search/web2py

Excellent work!

[web2py] Re: error when registering on local GAE

[Chuck Paulson]

I am using web2py version 1.86.2 on Windows Vista and the error
happened with both Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.

Registration works fine when running web2py without GAE. However with
local GAE I get the error given above. For some reason the line

table_user[form.vars.id] = dict(registration_key='')

in tools.py line#1627 is failing to write to the
db.auth_user.registration_key field and the default UUID remains
there. If I change that field to the null string then it works fine.

[web2py] Re: Only 1 {{extend ...}} allowed in a view ?

[mdipierro]

Think of the layout hierarchy for each page as a tree. You can enter
into any node of the tree. You can include down and extend up.
Beacause each node has a single parent, each html file can only have
on extend.

[web2py] result of LOAD do not accept global css/javascript

[Tomas Pelka]

Hello,

need to affect result of LOAD by javascript and css. Tying to implement 
something like 
http://www.mattkruse.com/javascript/mktree/documentation.html. In view:



{{if len(res)==0 and q_size==0:}}
{{=nothing}}
{{else:}}
{{=LOAD('sniffer','getResults',ajax=True)}}
{{pass}}


getResults from controller produces an field containing HTML with 
appropriate classes etc (javascript is included in web2py_ajax.html). It 
seems that the result of LOAD is not affected by javascript and css.



Thanks for advices.

[web2py] Re: result of LOAD do not accept global css/javascript

[mdipierro]

When you load content via ajax, the content should not contain an
.. tag nor a ... tag. the style info are
inherited by the parent page. Perhaps you want an iframe instead?

Re: [web2py] Re: result of LOAD do not accept global css/javascript

Hmm, well if the style is inherited from parent it should work instead.

Hello,

need to affect result of LOAD by javascript and css. Tying to implement

{{=nothing}}
{{else:}}
{{=LOAD('sniffer','getResults',ajax=True)}}
{{pass}}


getResults from controller produces an field containing HTML with
appropriate classes etc (javascript is included in web2py_ajax.html). It
seems that the result of LOAD is not affected by javascript and css.

Thanks for advices.

Re: [web2py] Re: nginx with bultin uwsgi module

[Michele Alzetta]

I'm not sure I understand what the advantage of wsgi would be, in any case
if somebody finds it useful here is the part of my nginx.conf with which I
run web2py with https access on a remote server; if somebody could post
instructions on running web2py through wsgi on nginx I would like to test
the difference.

server {
listen   443;
ssl  on;
ssl_certificate  /etc/ssl/nginx/nginx.pem;
ssl_certificate_key  /etc/ssl/nginx/nginx.key;
keepalive_timeout70;

if ($http_destination ~* ^https(.*)$)
{
set $fixed_destination http$1;
}

[web2py] Init script for Web2Py

[Michele Alzetta]

Hello, I wonder if someone has created a "normal" initscript for Web2Py.

For the moment I manage with the following hack, but it is not elegant and I
would prefer something that integrates better with the rest of the system.

My hack:

start.sh ( in web2py directory ):

-

#!/bin/bash

exec /usr/bin/python /my/path/to/web2py/web2py.py -a mypassword -i 127.0.0.1
-p 8000



In /etc/init.d the following file (copied from a lighttpd startup script):



#!/bin/sh

PIDFILE=/my/path/to/web2py/httpserver.pid
HTTPD=/my/path/to/web2py/start.sh

PID=0
if [ -e $PIDFILE ]; then
PID=`cat $PIDFILE`
if [ "x" == "x$PID" ]; then
PID=0
fi
fi

case "$1" in
start)
if [ 0 -ne $PID ]; then
running=`ps --pid $PID | grep $PID |wc -l`
if [ $running ]; then
echo "web2py is already running"
exit 1
fi

echo "web2py does not appear to be running, but old PID file
exists. Removing..."
rm $PIDFILE
PID=0
fi

echo "Starting Web2Py..."
$HTTPD > /dev/null 2>&1
;;
stop)
if [ 0 -eq $PID ]; then
echo "Web2Py was not running"
exit 1
fi

echo "Attempting to kill process $PID (Web2Py)"
kill $PID
tries=""
while [ -e $PIDFILE ]; do
if [ "x$tries" == "x.." ]; then
break
fi
sleep 2
tries=".$tries"
done
if [ -e $PIDFILE ]; then
echo "Unable to kill Web2Py in 10 attempts. Killing with -9
flag..."
kill -9 $PID

---


HTH somebody, but a regular init script would be so much better :)

It is uwsgi not wsgi.

It is a network protocol for fast transfer of information (mainly string
dictionary). It is binary based and very easy to parse (for a machine not
for a human ;) ):

http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/wiki/uwsgiProtocol

You can think about it as "simplified fastcgi/scgi", even if uwsgi is not
(only) related to cgi/http messages.

Then there is the uWSGI project (that uses the uwsgi protocol) that is a
web application container (it was born as a WSGI only server, but over
time it has evolved a lot, supporting other languages).

It includes all you can expect from a deploy platform (failover, automatic
respawning, process monitoring, inter-cluster communications, resource
limiting, logging...).

You can find web2py configuration example here:

http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/wiki/Example#Web2Py2uWSGI

Handlers for the uwsgi protocol are available even for Cherokee (included
in the official distribution), Apache2 (as external module) and lighttpd
(external, not very well tested, module)

I hope it can be useful

You might want to rm -f $PIDFILE at the end of the stop function, or at least 
in the kill -9 path.

I think that init scripts tend to be rather system-specific. There's a Red Hat 
script in the scripts directory, and maybe some others.

I think the "w" is redundant in the logo. It just looks funny.

What if the logo was just the user icon in the middle?

Speaking of the scripts directory, it looks to me like a cleanup is in order. 
Some of the scripts could use some comments--they're pretty opaque.

Some of them, I suspect, don't work or are way out of date.

setup-web2py-fedora.sh, for example. apt-get? Ubuntu?

...and it ought to check that it hasn't been run already.


repair.py: isn't that functionality built-in these days (main.py)?


etc...

Re: [web2py] Re: please help us test new web site

[rochacbruno]

I did not understand your suggestion, what user icon?

Are you saying to remove "web2py" leaving just the WP or removing the big W 
leaving just the P?

I am working on new ideas for the logo, small changes.

The circle-dagger in the middle of the logo. Remove the W and make it
just an i. IE: A user icon, the circle representing a head and the
dagger representing the user body. Remove the \ and / from the logo.

[web2py] Re: please help us test new web site

[weheh]

Hi Bruno, good work all around. Thoughts about the logo: I like the
way the logo worked in the past, where the icon part of the logo
separates from the web2py part of the logo and works stand alone. I
like your attempt to combine the W and the P. If you overlap the P on
top of the right-most up-slanting segment of the W, it looks like the
loop in the P could be the head of a snake and the W is its body. As
many of us would not be using web2py were it not for python, the snake
is an important motif IMHO. As you come up with new sketches for the
logo, could you try a design that incorporates these ideas? I present
a quick example of this concept (using your color scheme) here:

For what it's worth, I don't think we need a snake in the logo. At
least, it can be difficult to get it right -- snake logos can easily
end up looking either too fierce/scary or too childish/cartoonish.
Most other Python frameworks and libraries don't have snake logos (not
to mention that the language was actually named after Monty Python,
not a snake). The few snake logos that actually look OK are typically
highly stylized and don't really look too "snaky".

This was discussed long ago... Snakes are a nice reference to the
Python community but are not appealing outside the community. They are
not exactly perceived as friendly animals.

In case of a new logo.
What are the guidelines you want to accomplish?

[ma...@rockiger.com]

Totally digg the new website, looks good and more importan seems to be
much better organized.

Regarding the logo: use the old one - web2py has working hard to
establish
some kind of brand, why destroy that?

Take care

Looks good, clean, professional, consistent.

1. The black icons for the links on the lower right (User Groups,

[web2py] Re: Init script for Web2Py

[berubejd]

I have created an updated script for Fedora/CentOS/RedHat and done
testing on the OSs which I have available to me.  (Not very
exhaustive, however.)  The script has both been forwarded to Massimo
and posted on web2pyslices at:

   http://web2pyslices.com/main/slices/take_slice/98

I have used it a number of times and I haven't encountered any issues.

A couple of comments.

Ideally, the Python version(s) should be parameterized. I assume, for example, 
that we'd want to use 2.6.6 rather than 2.6.4, and it'd be easier to do those 
updates if the version were not embedded in the code. Likewise 2.6 vs 2.7?

Likewise the mod_wsgi version.

The old /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf will be obliterated if the script is run 
twice. Maybe we don't care...

Big improvement; thanks.

[web2py] plugin_wiki

[christina]

I just installed the plugin_wiki, but when I go to the "Pages" tab, I
cannot really get anything to work. Following along with the book
tutorial, I tried to make  "home" page, but when I submit, I get a
page that says "This page does not exist yet. Create this page".
Clicking "Create this page" sends me a ticket.

So I tried to manually create a page called home at
http://127.0.0.1:8000/.../plugin_wiki/page/home, but could not. Does
this have something to do with the "templates"? Because when I open
the "Page" tab, there is nothing in the "Templates" drop down. Do I
need to install something else before trying to run the plugin_wiki?

Also, it complained about me not having the correct tables in my
database. Since I did not have auth_user or auth_group tables, it
threw an error. I added empty auth_user and auth_group tables, but it
is still not working. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

[web2py] DateTime Widget

[villas]

For a Datetime field...

On creating a record I wish to use a default date (say today) and
choose only the time (selected from half hour intervals),  e.g.
10:30,  14:00,  19:30  etc.

On editing a record,  I would maintain the date but simply allow the
time to be edited.

Can anyone make a suggestion to handle that elegantly?

Thks, David

[web2py] Re: plugin_wiki

[christina]

Hi Massimo.

Thanks for the quick reply. I fixed the problem! It started working
when I added a "roles" field in my auth_group table.

[web2py] Powered by web2py

[Bruno Rocha]

A student of one of my classes of web2py training in Brazil, research the
web and made a list of websites powered by web2py.

he separates in categories: Populars, Great Ones, Good ones and which keeps
scaffold layout.

I found good designed websites in that list.

Participei no seu curso de web2py básico na Tempo Real Eventos em 28 de
agosto em São Paulo.
Desde aquela data até hoje tenho me dedicado a estudar o web2py.
Paralelamente fui na web procurar exemplos de sites desenvolvidos com o
web2py.
Encontrei vários, que classifiquei seguindo meu conceito de sites melhor
desenvolvidos, mais complexos ou mais bonitos.
Espero que sejam de alguma ajuda para você poder utilizar na sua tarefa
evangelizadora deste framework.
Para alguns deles não indico a página inicial, porque a mencionada me

[web2py] How to edit the display of a database table

[primitive]

Hello all,

I am wondering how to get a database table to display properly within
my web2py app. Currently my tables are too wide and end up going off
the side of the content area for the page. Is there a way I can limit
the width of a table, or otherwise fix this issue?

Thank you.

[web2py] Re: How to edit the display of a database table

[mdipierro]

Given rows=db(...).select()
You have options like

{{=SQLTABLE(rows,headers='fieldname:capitalize',fields=[..])}}

and fields is a list of 'tablename.fieldname'

If you download plugin wiki you can do

{{=plugin_wiki.jqgrid(tablename)}}

[web2py] Form returns None for field after AJAX update

[weheh]

# model
...
db.define_table('u',Field('name'))
db.define_table('v',Field('name'))
db.define_table('mytable',Field('x',u.id,requires=IS_IN_DB(db,'u.id')),Field('y',v.id,requires=IS_IN_DB(db,'v.id')))

# controller
...
  form=SQLFORM.factory(db.mytable)
  # ajax to update v when u is selected
  form.element('select#no_table_u')
['_onchange']="ajax('update/'+jQuery(this).val(),['v'],':eval');"
...
# and then later in the same controller
def update():
...
 
new_select_list=SELECT(...OPTION(...,_selected='selected'),OPTION(...),OPTION(...))
  return 'jQuery("#v").html("%s")'%new_select_list.xml()

ISSUE: The form displays OK. When I select a value from the first
field, u, the values shown in the second field, v, change dynamically,
as expected. I inspected the list of values for the v field and they
look OK. However, when I submit the form, the value of the v field is
always None. This happens whether or not I select a value from the v
pulldown or whether it defaults to the selected value in the SELECT
list.

What gives?

too any ... to tell for sure. It could be a browser issue or perhaps
the select name is missing. Can I check this online. It should be easy
to figure it out with firebug.

[web2py] Re: Form returns None for field after AJAX update

[weheh]

Thanks Massimo. Unfortunately, this is not online, yet. I have some
more info, now. First, I seem to have fixed the problem with None
being returned. Now, the correct value is being returned. However, the
type is string and the field into which it is being stuffed is
integer, since it is an id. I think this type mismatch may be the
problem. What do you think?

Yes, this happened awhile ago. I was planning on moving all my work
over to PostgreSQL already, but the merger just made it even more
compelling.

[web2py] Slow streaming of several images

[VP]

I want to display several images (some type of gallery) at once.
These images are quite small.  Sometimes, it is very slow to load the
page.   This happens when I just open up the application or refresh
the page (sometime) (using Ctr-R).

I am unsure this is because:

1. I'm running in "prototype" mode with sqlite, built-in server
(rocket), or
2. These small images are being streamed simultaneously.  I don't know
if this makes a difference, but I'd prefer these images are "static",
not streamed. But I don't know how to do this in web2py.

Any idea?

Thanks.

[web2py] Re: Init script for Web2Py

[berubejd]

I understand your concern.

While updating it, I had given some thought to whether or not I should
embed specific versions into the script.  I opted to include them
directly in the file so that, getting started, you would be using a
"tested" set of support applications if the OS you were running
required you to install them yourself.  If the OS has newer versions
provided by default or via an update, those will be used instead.
Also, if you know enough to desire a specific version, you can
probably modify the script to the version you prefer. :)

If we wanted to parameterize it, I would opt for optional command line
parameters that would default to a version that most people agree is
the most "ideal".

I hadn't considered if someone would be running it multiple times and
wanted to keep all pre-existing versions of welcome.conf.  If it is
desired, it would be quick to move it over to a date stamped backup
file.

A large part of updating the script was to make it easier to get
things up and running quickly and correctly with the script acting as
a record of what needed to happen to get there.  (Including some of
the less common things like SELinux or afterthoughts like iptables.)
After that, hopefully, the person running it can start to tweak things
here and there to their individual liking.

Thanks for the feedback!

[web2py] Re: Form returns str for field after AJAX update [open]

[weheh]

I have identified the problem. When I load the form from the
controller and press submit without changing anything, the SELECT list
value is interpreted as an integer. However, when I update the SELECT
list from AJAX and then press submit, the selected SELECT list item is
interpreted as a string.

[web2py] just downloaded latest nightly build

[mart]

It is kicking again At least for me, there is drastic performance
improvements (locally, is where it was suffering). before the update,
I was seriously thinking of running to the mac store and have them do
something (dunno what, but something)! Things were unbearably slow,
thought I may have had dud RAM or something

so what ever you did, thanks! :)

Mart :)

[web2py] Re: just downloaded latest nightly build

[mdipierro]

I have no idea what you are talking about. The nightly build is
actually 1.86.3 which was recalled because had a problem saving in
windows from admin. Other than that it should be same as 1.86.2.

... on a second thought. there was try.. finally that makes sure
session files are closed. Perhaps that was a problem for you. What os
did you use? which Python interpreter?
