[web2py] Re: Problem with basic auth

[Adi]

Sorry for the late response. I tried putting print statements in this
method, but I don't see anything on the console. Is there an option
while starting web2py to enable this?

Update: Needed to restart web2py (sorry I'm spoilt!)

Ok it works as expected. It seems I need to unescape the "@" symbol in
username before calling basic(). I was using the encoded %40 instead.

[web2py] Re: unique constraint of multiple columns (at database level)

[canna]

Thank you guys for your answers,
ron - it was just an example
Luther - this table was migrated from our old data and we do intent to
use auth instead

still, it's good practice to always have unique field or combination
of fields in a table besides the id, id is for machines, not suitable
for the real world

my understanding is that IS_NOT_IN_DB is not forced at the database
level like the "unique" keyword, I'm looking for something like the
unique keyword only for multiple fields, not just one
is there something like this?

[web2py] Problems in web2py 1.83.2

[Maurice Ling]

Hi

I have a problem since version 1.83.2. It gives me this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\web2py\gluon\restricted.py", line 186, in restricted
exec ccode in environment
  File "D:/web2py/applications/init/controllers/default.py", line 91,

name = check_login()
  File "D:/web2py/applications/init/controllers/default.py", line 38,
in check_login

  File "D:\web2py\gluon\html.py", line 226, in _URL
return URL(*args, **kwargs)
  File "D:\web2py\gluon\html.py", line 186, in URL
raise SyntaxError, 'not enough information to build the url'
SyntaxError: not enough information to build the url

My codes worked up to version 1.82.1.

I am using my own authorization/login codes which is in controllers/
account.py. The offending code (check_login function) is as follows:

def check_login(session=session):
if session.login_time == None:
session.login_time = 0
if session.username == None or \
session.login_time + login_expiry * 3600 < int(time.time()):
redirect(URL(r=request, f='../account/log_in'))
else:
return session.username

In version 1.82.1, check_login (called by http://localhost:8000/init)
redirects to http://localhost:8000/init/account/login. But from
version 1.83.2, it seems to redirect to 
http://localhost:8000/init/default/init/account/login
which is non-existent.

Any ideas what might be happening?

Thanks

[Kenneth Lundström]

If I remember correctly there was something about this on the list.

I think you use the URL the wrong way and until version 1.83.2 the 
helper worked wrongly. In your case it "worked" but it has been 
corrected and it doesn´t work anymore.


Try something like URL(c='account', f='log_in')

I might be completly wrong but I think the way URL was used by Maurice 
was wrong, it should not have worked, but thanks to a bug in URL it 
worked the way Maurice wanted.


So I guess it depends on how you look at it. Did it break backwards 
compatibility.


If your are using a bug and somebody repairs that bug your application 
stops working.

Hi,

Thank you for testing, it is more updated in bitbucket. Now it has search by

If you want to change the pager do: 

plugins.powerTable.dtfeatures['sPaginationType'] = 'full_numbers'

I agree completely. However, it's a tricky situation if you insist on
ever-backwards-compatible. You only insist on that because you don't
want to break people's apps. Yet a bug fix may sometimes do just that.

Anyway, assuming that you truly want to add the unique constraint,

and apply the constraint

It doesn't break backwards compatibility, because it *should not* work
the way it did.

@massimo: I think a SyntaxError should not be used for a case like
this. See that the syntax is correct and the passed values not, a
ValueError or the like shall be used.

[web2py] Re: Web2Py Foundation?

[Stefaan Himpe]

I would like to see web2py becomes matured in a similar model as
Drupal, at lease with a PR manager, a release manager, a documentation
manager, and a newbie-assistance manager, together with a platform
that attracts developers and encourages contribution. Massimo's role
should be in developing and setting visions.


More managers also means more coordination overhead for Massimo. What if 
he's really only interested in designing and writing code ? I know I 
would be :)

[web2py] Renaming fields of auth tables

[Lisandro]

Hi everyone.
I'm customizing my authentication and access control system (following
the instructions from the web2py website and some examples of this
group).

I've renamed my auth_user table with the following:
auth.settings.table_user_name = 'ciudadanos'

Then I renamed the fields "first_name" and "last_name", defining my
custom table. But when I try to insert a record (from database
administration interface), I receive an error.

¿Is it possible to rename fields of auth_user table without having to
change web2py source code?
If it isn't possible, ¿is there a way to set an "alias" for a  field,
so it can be referenced by its name or by its alias?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [web2py] Renaming fields of auth tables

[Marin Pranjic]

Hi,
you can use *label* like described here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/web2py@googlegroups.com/msg28123.html

but you can still reference it only by its name ['first_name', 'last_name'].

[web2py] CASE statements in DAL?

Hi All !
  I am new to web2py and my company is building an enterprise
level web application that will run on the desktop and also mobile
apps using web2py! So far it has been a gr8 experience working with
web2py and kudos to all the developers that made such an awesome
framework !

I am trying to write some queries in the DAL that require a CASE
statement e.g.
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=1 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END

Is there a way to write this in the DAL?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Try returning the exact same thing as JSON, and see if it works.

page to 'next' and 'previous' but there is not a link for 'first' or
'last' page.  It would be great if this was possible.

Keep up the good work.  - Tom

I do not see those features exist in datatables.

Just got progressive loading working on powerTable plugin

powerTable.dtfeatures['bScrollInfinite'] = True
powerTable.dtfeatures['iScrollLoadGap'] = 10 #number of rows to load by time

I am still working hard to make server side load to work well.

(I am having a good time with datatables library, the community in
datatables.net forum is very helpful)

Will update the plugin soon.

[web2py] How to change form.vars before validation?

[Marin Pranjic]

Hi,
I need to customize Auth:

1. use username instead of e-mail for login
2. remove first_name and last_name fields
3. make username case_insensitive

I decided to use first_name field to store the "real" username, and
username field to store lowercase username (for case-insensitive
login).

Used the following code:

def sync_user(form):
form.vars['first_name'] = form.vars['username']
form.vars['username'] = form.vars['username'].lower()

def lower_username(form):
form.vars['username'] = form.vars['username'].lower()

auth.settings.register_onvalidation.append(sync_user)
auth.settings.profile_onvalidation.append(sync_user)
auth.settings.login_onvalidation.append(lower_username)


Problem is, this should be executed BEFORE validation, not after.
Suggestions?

[web2py] Re: unique constraint of multiple columns (at database level)

[mdipierro]

virtual fields are not computed fields. They do not exist in the db.
They are computed when records are retrieved. They cannot have
requirements or attributes because there no way to input their values
in a form. So this is simply imporssible:

db.mytable.uniqueField.requires = ...

c'mon... only for integer numbers (and not even checking)? What about
float?

Anyway, he is also missing:

storage = {}

def g(x):
if x in storage:
y = strorage[x]
else:
y = storage[x] = f(x)
return y
return g

@memoize

In the main table every row has two attributes

ID = it is the record id from rows object, if there is not an id field it
will be the first row value.
Key = tablename.fieldname to query against

In that example the category table is passing i.e: key=products.category.1
cols=[a list of columns to fetch in detail]

the productdetails functions just splits the key and creates a new SQLTABLE


def productdetails():
tablename,fieldname,value = key.split('.')
return
SQLTABLE(powertable_db(powertable_db.tablename.fieldname==value).select(**cols))


Following this model it is possible to do whatever you need, bulld any html
object to return in detail table, by default, wthout writing any code i can
return a update/insert FORM, a TABLE, a UL list.

Now I am trying to include tabs within details to return multiple objects.

Re: [web2py] Re: unique constraint of multiple columns (at database level)

Maybe not the best way, but just for testing, I tried this:


db.define_table('person',
Field('unikey','id',compute=lambda r: r.fname+r.lname),
Field('fname'),
field('lname')
)

got an error because the 'id' needs to be int


File "/home/rochacbruno/projects/web2py/gluon/dal.py", line 805, in expand
return self.represent(expression,field_type)
File "/home/rochacbruno/projects/web2py/gluon/dal.py", line 1096, in
represent
return str(int(obj))
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10:


Then I tried with integers and works ok.

person.unikey = 12
person.fname = 1
person.lname = 2

Is there a way to have string fields as primary keys?

[web2py] Re: unique constraint of multiple columns (at database level)

[villas]

Hi Bruno,

Work was done (I believe by Denes) to introduce non-standard primary
keys. However, that was really for legacy DBs that could not be
migrated to the web2py conventions. In any case, it was only available
for certain DBs and I'm not sure the work has been migrated and tested
properly in the new DAL.

In the case of a new app,  you should always try to have standard
integer primary keys (excepting uids in the case of  combining tables/
databases).

I would suggest you try compute to produce a combined 'string' field
and then use IS_NOT_IN_DB. You might prefer to use all lower or upper
case to make it case-insensitive.

Alternatively you can create a unique index at the DB level.  You
would have to use some raw SQL which would vary according to the DB
you use.  That would stop duplicates effectively enough, but I guess
your web2py app would not handle it as smoothly.

-D

[web2py] FORM Generation Code.

[David J.]

Where is the code that Generates the FORMs?

What is the best way to modify this; Currently when it outputs the key name

It puts a colon; ex. "First Name:" instaead of just "First Name"

I simply want to remove that from the form.

Also on the links of the welcome app; That generate the "[ login | 
register | lost pasword? ]" links


I want to remove all those extra chars.

I checked the templates I dont see it in there;  I also see something in 
gluon.tools.py but I dont want to modify gluon code.


Thanks.

Re: [web2py] Re: The stability of web2py releases

[appydev]

I totally agree with Jonathan Lundell,

I think the changes he proposes, would provide stability web2py, and I'm
sure will appeal to users (both new and existing).

My humble opinion is that the way they attack the bugs, is one of the
weaknesses ofweb2py, I think it is
messy and I'm sure many have decided not to use web2py for it.

Re: [web2py] FORM Generation Code.

[Bruno Rocha]

you can set labels to auth_user table

db.auth_user.first_name.label = 'F Name'
db.auth_user.last_name.label = 'WHATEVER'

If you mean extra link in login/register form, simply edit
/views/default/user.html

Re: [web2py] FORM Generation Code.

[David J.]

Bruno;

That just changes the value; but the problem is the form code adds an 
extra ":" to the end of the name.


so if you do as you suggested. db.auth_user.first_name.label='FName'

It outputs "FName:" not "FName" without the trailing colon ":"


Thanks.

Also if you look carefully this out put code is not consistent.

If you look at the "verify password" field it is not using

Its just wrapped in a label.

The colon is being defined here:
http://code.google.com/p/web2py/source/browse/gluon/sqlhtml.py?r=f3c30b057686b916153c5fbc0b2d341810c95683#722

I am testing, trying a way to remove it, I guess if you pass labels to
SQLFORM() the colon will be removed.

don't know,
but got the problem,
the strings are derived from a completely other website,
with the use of BeautifulSoup,
and then strings are of type 
so typecasting them as unicode solves the problem.

Re: [web2py] Re: I don't understand this error, anyone to help ?

[Arun K.Rajeevan]

problem seems to be with encoding data.

Can you show us relevant code that defines and initialize Books!

[web2py] Re: Auto reload of file

[ron_m]

If you put code in a file under the modules directory then it will require a 
restart unless you set the reload parameter to True

In model or controller
mod_name = local_import('module_file', True) will force a reload every time 
so restart not needed.

Otherwise nothing gets retained between requests that would force a restart 
of the server.

I looked at this briefly. It's a rather strange error message, given that in 
fact only two arguments are given.

I ran a little test sequence to verify:

>>> data = u'abcd'
>>> data.encode('utf8', 'xmlcharrefreplace')
'abcd'
>>> data.encode('utf8', 'xmlcharrefreplace', 1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
TypeError: encode() takes at most 2 arguments (3 given)
>>> isinstance(data, unicode)
True

[web2py] Re: I don't understand this error, anyone to help ?

[mdipierro]

Probably it is counting

data.encode('utf8', 'xmlcharrefreplace')

data as self and 'utf8' as second argument. yet it is strange because
this is valid syntax.

Re: [web2py] Re: Renaming fields of auth tables

[Marin Pranjic]

You can "ignore" current first_name or last_name (or both) fields, and add
other fields, as you like.

Add custom fields, and for current (first_name, last_name) set readable =
False and writable = False and just don't use them.

More about customizing:
http://www.web2py.com/book/default/chapter/08#Customizing-Auth

hope this one helps

That occurred to me, too, but that's not what's happening. See my test sequence:

[web2py] What's the best way to insert raw html ?

[Stef Mientki]

hello,

I'v raw html derived with BeautifulSoup from another webpage,
which I want insert in the contents of the web.
The images in the orginal webpage are located in the same directory as the html 
page.
The orginal webpage is moved to a database,
and the images are placed into the web2py application's static/images/...

Now I encounter 2 problems:
1. the raw html contains tags, like:

toch iets over stromen, een plaatje  

I "remove" them with the helper function TAG.
Although it seems to work, I'm not convinced that this is the right method.
Is this the correct way ?
Are there better ways ?

The second problem is the image locations:

   

I change the image location with, not a neat way, but it works.
Any better ways ?

  Result = DIV ()
  Result.append ( H2 ( Book + ', ' + Chapter ) )
  Result.append ( H3 ( Paragraph ) )
  Text = Text.replace ( 'src="', 'src="/E_Veiligheid/static/images/' )
  Result.append ( TAG ( Text ) )

thanks,
Stef Mientki

[web2py] component .load

[mattynoce]

hi all. i have a component i'm plugging into the middle of a page, but
i want that component to act seamlessly with the rest of the page. i
do NOT want the component to do what components usually do and act
independently. i need to include variable files, and components are
the only way i can find to do that.

so when i submit forms from the component, they automatically
append .load to redirects. i do not want this. so i found i can do:
redirect(URL(..., extension=''))

however, when i execute other commands like this:
def formControllerFromComponent:
doSomething()
doSomethingElse()
redirect(URL(..., extension=''))

doSomething() will create any links it makes with a .load extension. i
don't want to have to go around and append extension='' to every URL
command in my controller. is there a way we can stop propagation of
the .load suffix? based on a variable in the load initialization?
something like:
{{=LOAD(c='default', f='func', args=[arg1, arg2], ajax=False,
ajax_trap=False, loadPropagate=False)}}

thanks,

matt

URL is probably picking up the .load extension from request.extension. It might 
be more convenient to set that to 'html'.

Re: [web2py] Re: Problems in web2py 1.83.2

[Branko Vukelić]

Btw, in case you're new to these things, the main point of URL helpers
(called URL generators in some frameworks) is to generate the URL
based on the information about the internal structure of the
application. This is done to avoid hard-coding the paths. If you
merely use the URL helper function to pass a full relative path, it
sort of beats the purpose (that's what others meant by 'not supposed
to work that way').

I'd try something like this; it might need a little tweaking. Call URL so that 
you'll get the benefit of any rewriting that you might choose to do someday.

An alternative to Text.replace would be to do a global regex substitution, 
where the replacement pattern is a function that calls URL('static', 
'images/%s' % matchobj.group(0)). See the re.sub section of 
http://docs.python.org/library/re.html for details. 

But for your purposes, the code below, more or less, ought to do it.

 prefix = URL('static', 'images')
 Result = DIV(
H2(Book + ', ' + Chapter),
H3(Paragraph),
XML(Text.replace('src="', 'src="%s/' % prefix)
 )

It also takes into account URL rewriting.

[web2py] Database administrator not showing records

[Maurice Ling]

Hi

I've upgraded to version 1.91.5 and noticed an issue with the database
administrator.

I was in the admin application of my application (http://localhost:
8000/admin/default/design/init) and clicked on "database
administration", then click on any one of my populated databases. By
right, it should show me the database table but noe, it says "invalid
SQL filter". The SQL filter is the default filter "comment.id>0".

Any ideas?

Thanks
Maurice

I am a member of the Technical Leaderhip Council at Coin-OR (www.coin-

very conservative codebases sponsored by IBM. Our users are just as
diverse (as is the case with web2py).

Here is what has worked for us (it is not that different from many
other projects):

1) Stable means feature-stable, not necessarily crash-stable. They
take numbering schemes like X.Y
2) Releases use minor points derived from stable numbers, e.g. X.Y.z.
All releases must pass their unittests. Unfortunately many projects
have incomplete unittests, but that is another issue. Releases have
bug-fixes only.
3) Trunk is trunk. Use at your own risk. That is where the latest and
greatest lives.
4) Each project has a ticket system for patches and bug reports.

The +:
* Users knows where the project stands. They know what they are
getting from their downlads and naturally segment into the appropriate
groups.
* PMs can more easily coordinate developers.
The -:
* It is often difficult to get PMs to do stables and releases.
Sometimes it takes a dedicated non-core developer who really wants a
feature to do it for them.

Personally I think a ticket system for web2py linked to from the
"Support" tab would be a great first enhancement (I added it to the
voices app).

Cheers,
Leo.

What version did you upgrade from? Did it work before with the same
data?

[web2py] Re: CASE statements in DAL?

[Harkirat]

Thanks for the suggestion Massimo! I haven't been able to get it to
work though.
That syntax returns an error "TypeError: __init__() takes at least 3
arguments (2 given)"
Tried looking at the Expression class defined in DAL.py for what
arguments it needs but haven't been able to figure this out.
Any more suggestions?

If this does not work we will most likely have to shift to SQL Alchemy
and I do like working with the DAL so I am keeping my fingers crossed
and hoping there is work around for this.

[web2py] Re: CASE statements in DAL?

[mdipierro]

It is definitively possible. It just that I cannot test it right now.
Try:

db(query).select(Expression("CASE WHEN 1=1 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END",None));

else you can use

db.executesql("... any raw sql ...")

the latter is the safe way. Always works.

many thanks Jonathan,
that's exactly what I'm looking for.

No idea. Can you send me (confidetially) your app and your db (if it
is sqlite)?
