[web2py] Re: change in trunk needs testing

[dederocks]

I tried the last version in trunk, and the admin application generates
a ticket... and looking at the ticket generates another ticket! (which
is the reason why I cannot provide a traceback).
But the other applications appear to work fine.

If you have access to the file system you can find the error ticket in 
the folder /applications/admin/errors

I would make sure the breakpoint is not contingent on any logic. Set
one in your model, for example, when auth or mail are instantiated.
Also, make sure you are launching your project in debug mode and not
run mode.

Re: [web2py] Re: Debugging my app

[Lorin Rivers]

So you just click (or whatever the gesture is) to the side of the line you want 
to break at and it just works?

To start a session, you right-click on web2py and start a debug session?

What platform are you on?

about 2. You can do

db.define_table(...,Field('name','reference

cascade is default.

I use both Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7.  The first time, you right

Re: [web2py] Re: Debugging my app

[Lorin Rivers]

I have python run, my web2py app is running, I can load it in the web browser 
in eclipse, the breakpoints are showing in the list of breakpoints and in the 
editor, my print statements are showing in the console, but it's NOT breaking.

Also, if I edit a file in an external editor, the changes don't appear in 
Eclipse. What's up with that?

[web2py] onvalidation only called if there are no form errors

[mr.freeze]

I see two issues with this:
1) The form errors found in onvalidation will not be displayed if
there are already form errors
2) The developer never gets a chance to remove form errors for certain
conditions (think contingent form fields)
For example, I am using IS_IN_DB on a field but I only want it to be
required if another field is a certain value.

Is there a better way?

[web2py] Re: Debugging my app

[mr.freeze]

You have to right click on your project and choose Refresh to reflect
external changes.  Do you see a green dot next to your breakpoint?
Double click in the gray border to the left of the code and it should
show a green dot.

[web2py] Re: T with variables

[Carlos]

Hi Massimo,

I believe the T.set_current_languages you propose refers to viewing
the website in a specific language for a certain user.

What I'm asking for is a way to edit the language files (as regular
web apps, not appadmin) with authorization, e.g. userA can only edit
'en' language, userB can only edit 'es' language, and so on.

Such that we can assign the "translator" role to users for specific
languages.

Thanks,

   Carlos

[web2py] Re: T with variables

[mdipierro]

I see. There is this very old app:
http://web2py.com/appliances/default/show/9

that allows users permissions only to translate.

It should be revamped and:
1) change the edit language page to the new one
2) integrate with auth
3) allow administrator to assign languages to auth_users

It is a 1h job to a skilled web2py programmer. It would be nice to
have this functionality.
It is in my queue but my todo queue is long today so I will take help
with this one.

adopt this appliance!

[web2py] Re: Foreign Key

[Mirek Zvolský]

> about 2, deleting integrity. You can do:
>db.define_table(...,Field('name','reference
>blabla',ondelete='cascade'))

yes, you are true. I think, ON DELETE command keeps the integrity
inside the backend database (web2py generates just one DELETE
command).
My idea was to keep the integrity at web2py level (generate separate
DELETE commands /or UPDATE foreignkey=Null/ for all children), however
this would be slow and not necessary if all supported databases
support ON DELETE CASCADE and ON DELETE SET NULL.

cascade is default.
--- And what other possibilities are and their syntax? Same as in SQL,
f.e. can/should I write ondelete='set null' ?

Problem for me is, that with 'reference...' type foreign key cannot
point to the table, which I will define later /at this time/. This
means that more complex database models cannot be implemented. --- I
know, I repeat this always, I apologize for this :-)

Your routes.py is not relevant here. Just this one line:
> routes_logging = False

I've tried setting it to all possible values and there is no
difference (web2py 1.89.5) for me on GAE. So I looked at the code of /
gluon/rewrite.py and there is a logger defined like this:
logger = logging.getLogger('web2py.rewrite')

And the definition of this logger can be found in /
logging.example.conf:
[logger_rewrite]
level=WARNING
qualname=web2py.rewrite
handlers=consoleHandler
propagate=0

Now, what is the connection between the routes_logging and the
web2py.rewrite logger level? I believe the link is missing as
routes_logging is not used in /gluon/rewrite.py to set the level of
the logger and this is why it makes no difference. Can somebody
(Jonathan?) explain how this was intended to work? Is really the level
setting code missing here?

[web2py] Re: Broken web2py Layout on IE6

[Wikus van de Merwe]

I'm sorry but in my opinion this is a waste of time. IE6 is 9 years
old now. It still has about 5% of users worldwide but this is not
enough to justify the tremendous effort inevitably involved in working
around all IE6 quirks. And believe me I know what I'm saying because I
did just that. But I did it when IE6 had 50% of users, and I still
feel physical pain when I'm thinking back about this long weeks of CSS
tweaks.

So my advice for web2py is simple. Don't go there. Do your admin HTML/
CSS so that it conforms to the standards and that's it. Don't go all
the way to IE6 compatibility. Sometimes it is users responsibility to
upgrade and experience a better web too.

Alexandre, if you can't convince your customers (BTW, are customers
supposed to use admin?) to upgrade/install alternative browser (yes,
they can coexist with IE6!), then do the hard work of fighting with
IE6 yourself, or pay to have it done for you. Please don't expect
web2py developers to use their hobby time on this, they really have
much more interesting things to do :)

[web2py] Re: redirect using a new window

[Wikus van de Merwe]

If your talking about the HTTP redirect there is no such mechanism in
it. It's just a simple 303 response which informs your browser to
fetch the content of a page from a different URL. If you want to open
a new panel/window with URL_2 after visiting URL_1 that has to be done
with javascript.

Why do you want to do that anyway? Opening new panel/window is plain
evil (especially if done with javascript). This should be controlled
by the user, not the webapp developer who thinks he knows better what
the users want. Give a normal link and let the users decide how they
want to open it.

[web2py] Re: T with variables

[Carlos]

Hi Massimo,

I could not install that appliance.

But maybe it's better to do it from scratch, without repeating code,
i.e. calling the 'edit_language' action in the 'admin' app indirectly
via my own app (after checking auth_user permissions), with xmlrpc or
exec_environment?.

Does it make sense?.

Thanks,

   Carlos

[web2py] Re: Anyone with experience developing Facebook IFrame app using Web2Py?

[berubejd]

I have a couple of applications (unpublished) which are Facebook
iframe apps written using web2py.

There are a few caveats which are not web2py specific.  The biggest is
that, using the new GraphAPI the developer has been stripped nearly
entirely of efficient methods of doing anything but querying FB data.
There are few ways, and none that I have found that are decent (I am
still working on it...), to pop open invite boxes, let users post to
their stream, query which of your users friends use an application,
etc.  For much of that functionality you will need to rely on the JS
API (I hope), which I am hoping to start looking at this coming week,
or use the older REST API, which has a community only supported Python
library which is poorly maintained and required a LOT of work to just
make usable.

Over the last year, I have expanded upon Massimo's FB example,
correcting the community library, and created an Auth replacement out
of it.  I have created a hacked together Auth replacement which seems
to work well with the new GraphAPI, and I have, just over the last
week, hacked a bit on the module provided by Mr. Comitini because it
works well in concert with the existing Auth rather than replaces it
like the version I have put together.

Although the new module is very nice, and probably works well for apps
running outside of FB, I have had to make a couple of changes already
in regards to application authorization and there is at least one
additional outstanding bug relating to setting the application path
which FB is supposed to return a user to after authentication.  (I
have already dug through the new module and Auth but, without
additional work, have been unable to to source out the correct way to
set the 'next' variable which gets passed around half a dozen times
and needs to be set for FB... hehe)

I had intended to release the entire application source for my test
application to the community with a series of posts documenting how
the various parts work but keep getting pulled onto other tasks before
I can finish all the integration points (stream, invite, etc) because
JavaScript is definitely not my strongest skill.

I am more than happy to provide the Auth modifications or module, in
its current state, to anyone who can sort it out further.  I'm not a
programmer by trade, however, so I can't speak for the quality of my
code... hehe

Thanks!
Jeff

Re: [web2py] Broken web2py Layout on IE6

Short answer is no, and no. Here's why.

1. Google discontinued support for IE6 on most of its services, so
that's a reason enough for most people to switch to a later version.
As a matter of fact, YouTube, ranked 3rd by Alexa, right after Google
and Facebook, doesn't support IE6 and displays a rather confusing
banner before it allows you to play video. This is reason enough for
most IE6 users to look for a way to update or switch.

2. The fix could be as short as 1 line, or as long as a new
stylesheet. You never know these things with IE6, and just the time
required to find the right solution would already be an overkill for
the number of potential users that would benefit from that.

3. As for enforcing IE upgrade, it's also a waste of time. Why waste a
second of developer time just to warn less than 1% of users to switch?
The reason it's less than 1% (probably closer to 0), and not 5% is
that people who use web2py admin interface are mostly developers, and
therefore have mostly updated their browsers or use alternative ones
(which I suspect is more common).

If you're willing to waste time on this, though, I'd suggest trying
the ``inline`` fix on all buttons. Buttons use inline-block, and I
suspect that's bothering IE6 which was never good with these things.
Personally, I don't even start IE6 to see the sites I design nowadays.
It creates too much stress. :)

[web2py] Using Jython with web2py

[pierreth]

Hello, I tried to use Jython with web2py. I am telling the story in my

So far, I have this error:

How far have you been with Jython and web2py? Is it possible to make
the two work together?

[web2py] passing json from javascript to controller

[b0j3]

Hi!

I'm trying to call controller from javascript using the jquery load:

$.post("todb",{"name": in_name,"desc": in_desc, "location": in_loc});

The problem is that I don't know how to get the json valu passed to
todb controller.
I've tried
@service.json decorator,
adding variable to the function definition and also
gluon.contrib.simplejson.loads(response.body.read())
but I always get an error message.

Do you guys have a recomendation or idea what to do?

This I just solved for myself.

The short answer for #2 is Eclipse with PyDev & Aptana.

There are some good instructions here (plus a script that will do much of the 
setup):


It took me 2 tries to get it working, one of the options is to copy all the 
files from your project into your workspace, which caused me problems.

That option is unclearly worded, so avoid all the copying option in the Eclipse 
UI.

Hope that helps!

If you are on the Mac I could probably provide some more tips.

[mdipierro]

The instructions are here:
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/12#Jython

Make sure you have zxJDBC.

It works (some of us have tested it) but there are some know problems
and I would not recommend it in production. One problem is a known
problem with Java regular expression parses that Sun marked as "won't
fix". It is not a web2py specific problem but can cause some web2py
templates send enter into a loop.

[web2py] Re: onvalidation only called if there are no form errors

[mdipierro]

Consider this case:

db.define_table('numbers',Field('a','integre'),Field('b','integer'))
def validate(form):
if form.vars.a+form.vars.b>100:
form.errors.b="a+b must not exceed 100"
form=crud.create(db.numbers,onvalidation=validate)

Before the change the function validate is not called if a and b are
not valid integer this never triggering an exception, only validation
errors.

With your proposed change this would cause an error because
form.vars.a is None if request.vars.a does ot pass the default integer
validation. The function validation would be called again and issue a
ticket.

This is a change of behavior. I am not convinced this change is a good
idea.

Why do you need it?
Other opinions?

this is not sending json. The values will be in request.name.is_name,

routes_logging is not used; it's left over from a previous version and should 
be deleted.

Copy logging.example.conf to logging.conf. That should turn off all your debug 
logs, since they're lower priority than WARNING.

I'm not sure why you're logging at the debug level, unless that's the way the 
GAE installation defaults. Notice that if there's no logging.conf, we rely on 
logging.basicConfig() for initialization (see main.py). Perhaps we should add 
level=logging.WARNING or the like to the basicConfig() call (you might 
experiment with that before you install logging.conf and see what happens; it 
might make a good patch).

[web2py] Re: onvalidation only called if there are no form errors

[mr.freeze]

Good point. Here is my use case:

db.define_table('cars',
Field('make'),
Field('model'),
Field('year'),
Field('catalytic_converter_type',requires =
IS_IN_SET('one','two','three'),
comment='for cars later than 1975'))

I want catalytic_converter_type to be required if the car year is
greater than 1975. I also want to show an error if
catalytic_converter_type is selected and the year is less than 1975.
Allowing the user to see all errors at once would be a bonus but not a
deal breaker. onvalidation seems like the place to handle it but let
me know if there is a better way.

There are a few more alternatives (each with its own advantages and
shortcomings):

1. WinPDB (http://winpdb.org/)

Great GUI debugger with remote debugging capabilities.

2. Ipdb (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ipdb)

Embedded IPython sheel and debugger. If you know IPython, you know
this is awesome. :)

You'll find both the book and the API docs in the documentation

but I guess I'd be wrong. :)

[web2py] [pypy-dev] PyPy 1.4 released

[Phyo Arkar]

I think its time try to give web2py on pypy 1.4 a try! its production
quality they said.

-- Forwarded message --

Subject: [pypy-dev] PyPy 1.4 released
To: PyPy Dev , ""

===
PyPy 1.4: Ouroboros in practice
===

We're pleased to announce the 1.4 release of PyPy. This is a major breakthrough
in our long journey, as PyPy 1.4 is the first PyPy release that can translate
itself faster than CPython.  Starting today, we are using PyPy more for
our every-day development.  So may you :) You can download it here:

http://pypy.org/download.html

What is PyPy


PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement
for CPython. It's fast (`pypy 1.4 and cpython 2.6`_ comparison)

Among its new features, this release includes numerous performance improvements
(which made fast self-hosting possible), a 64-bit JIT backend, as well
as serious stabilization. As of now, we can consider the 32-bit and 64-bit
linux versions of PyPy stable enough to run `in production`_.

Numerous speed achievements are described on `our blog`_. Normalized speed
charts comparing `pypy 1.4 and pypy 1.3`_ as well as `pypy 1.4 and cpython 2.6`_
are available on benchmark website. For the impatient: yes, we got a lot faster!

More highlights
===

* PyPy's built-in Just-in-Time compiler is fully transparent and
  automatically generated; it now also has very reasonable memory
  requirements.  The total memory used by a very complex and
  long-running process (translating PyPy itself) is within 1.5x to
  at most 2x the memory needed by CPython, for a speed-up of 2x.

* More compact instances.  All instances are as compact as if
  they had ``__slots__``.  This can give programs a big gain in
  memory.  (In the example of translation above, we already have
  carefully placed ``__slots__``, so there is no extra win.)

* `Virtualenv support`_: now PyPy is fully compatible with
virtualenv_: note that
  to use it, you need a recent version of virtualenv (>= 1.5).

* Faster (and JITted) regular expressions - huge boost in speeding up
  the `re` module.

* Other speed improvements, like JITted calls to functions like map().

[web2py] Re: documentation flow

[DenesL]

The book navigation could be improved, and I mentioned this recently
to Massimo; specially for the majority of us that still depend on it.
For example, the general index entries do a search of the term instead
of taking you directly to where it is defined, not very efficient. If
I want to find something fast I have to use my PDF copy but alas, it
does not include the latest features.

Reading the group posts is a great way to learn and more so if you try
to answer some of them; time consuming, yes, but learning requires
some commitment.

Denes.

Those common functions can go in your modules directory.
Use local_import to have access to them in your code as explained in

[web2py] elFinder web file manager

[Carlos]

Hi,

I'm wondering what ever happened with elFinder web file manager?:

http://elrte.org/elfinder/

http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/3af7b48d3267fd59/09847d81ae92ef26

Is it already integrated with web2py?, for all types of users (admin,
appadmin, endusers)?.

Is anybody actually using it in production environments?, or was it
abandoned (why)?.

Is there something better (as a web file manager, integrated with
web2py) out there?.

Best regards,

   Carlos

[web2py] Re: onvalidation only called if there are no form errors

[DenesL]

You can always change requires on the fly

def test():
  if request.vars.year:
try:
  y = int(request.vars.year)
except 'ValueError':
  y = 0
if y > 1975:
  db.cars.catalytic_converter_type.requires =
IS_IN_SET(['one','two','three'], error_message='cars later than 1975
must have at least one')
else:
  db.cars.catalytic_converter_type.requires = IS_EQUAL_TO('',
error_message='cars before 1975 should not have one')
  f=SQLFORM(db.cars)
  if f.accepts(request.vars, session):
response.flash='accepted'
  elif f.errors:
response.flash='please fix and re-submit'
  return dict(f=f)

[web2py] Re: elFinder web file manager

[mdipierro]

It is not integrated but there was a plugin for it. If somebody could
post a list to it (and host it on google code somewhere) I would post
a link from appliances. It could be used for admin2.
