[web2py] Re: CLEANUP() removing too many characters

[pbreit]

I guess one question is what is the point.

It's very similar to the regex [:print:] which apparently in PERL includes 
[:space:] which includes \t. I was actually using it to strip out tabs but I 
ended up going with a custom validator.

[web2py] Run a method when ever logout is reached.

[Jason Brower]

I need to make sure curtain session data is wiped when the user is 
logged out.

This bring up two things:
1: How can I run a method like that to make sure this happens when ever 
the logout is clicked.
2: I wonder if there could be a spacial area of sessions that is just 
for that users authenticated session.

thank you so much for your detail explaination, Vinicius Assef. i like what
u've wrote on your blog. just for info, i'd realized that if you want to
validate self reference table, it can do on the define table (returns an
error)

[web2py] difference between is_not_empty(), notnull=true and required=true

[黄祥]

hi,

is there anybody know the difference between is_not_empty(),
notnull=true and required=true?
should i use both or just 1 of it's?
please give an advice or pointer about this

thank you so much in advance

Re: [web2py] Total control over your web2py models

[Martín Mulone]

In powerpack I have this:

config.py (application settings)
data.py (all the db definition and menus)
main.py (auth, mail, service, registration settings, etc) (this is
independant of the app)

then I usually do:

mod_clients.py
mod_users.py
mod_someother.py
mod_someother2.py

I have classes like bruno show, but I don't have db definitions in this
classes, instead I have all the db definition in data.py because surely I
have link to another tables.

Then came the plugins:

plugins_1.py
plugins_2.py
plugins_3.py
plugins_4.py
plugins_zindex.py (here the execution order of plugins)

[web2py] nested list

[黄祥]

hi,

is anybody know how to create nested list? my intention is to create
category that have sub category (parent child list), should i use 2
table or just one table that refer to itself?
e.g.
db.define_table('category',
Field('title'
  )
)

db.define_table('sub_category',
Field('title',
  label = T('Title')
  ),
Field('category_id',
  db.category
  )
)
db.sub_category.category_id.requires = IS_IN_DB(db, db.category.id, '%
(title)s')

or

db.define_table('category',
Field('title',
  label = T('Title')
  ),
Field('parent_category_id',
  'reference category'
  ),
)
db.category.parent_category_id.requires = IS_IN_DB(db, db.category.id,
'%(title)s')

and how about the controller and the views to display it?
please give an advice, pointer or suggestion.
thank you very much in advance

thank you so much for your info, martin, i've already tried and learn from

so that a lot of things on powerpack that i don't know the function is what

pardon me, could you explain about:
mod_clients.py = what for?
mod_users.py = what for?

It was an example, you can have mod_nameyouwant.py.

and inside you have for example something like this:

class Clients(object):

def show():
'show a list of clients'

def delete():
'delete ...'

def add():
'add ...'

 I am now running with a different numerical order, using 3 digits

 000_essentials.py
 100_authdatabase.py
 200_dbmodel.py
 300_validators.py
 400_utilities.py
 500_preload.py

 why? because between every model I have 99 empty spaces if I need to
 include some new model without the need to rename all the others.

 But this is a mess if working with a large app, so I tried to create
 classes and methods as:

 class mymodel(object):
 def define_essentials():
 db = DAL('.')

 def define_auth():
 auth = Auth(db...)

 def define_model():
 db.define_table('mytable',Field())


 So I can call mymodel.define_essentials() directly from the controller
 or another main model, why?

 Imagine a large app with many models and many objects loaded in memory
 even if you do not need them.

 But, I think web2py has a good MVC pattern used for controllers and
 views, we are talking about how to have the same approach for model files.

In Python it does, but it solves problems elsewhere. I don't know what the 
expected use case is for CLEANUP; I don't see it used anywhere in the web2py 
apps.

It might also be useful (and trivial) to add an option to pass in the retained 
character set as a string, or as a compiled regex.

Re: [web2py] Re: URL rewrite throwning invalid request when URL contains spaces or hyphens

[Syed Mushtaq]

Thanks Massimo for the reply ,

I tried with the comma at the end but no luck :(

I traced it back to the code where it was giving a 400 and found that its
not able to match the regular expression in
rewrite.py function regex_url_in line 542 , The regular expression for this
is

regex_url = re.compile(r'''
 (^(  # (/a/c/f.e/s)
 /(?P [\w\s+]+ )   # /a=app
 (# (/c.f.e/s)
 /(?P [\w\s+]+ )   # /a/c=controller
 (# (/f.e/s)
 /(?P [\w\s+]+ )   # /a/c/f=function
 (# (.e)
 \.(?P [\w\s+]+ )  # /a/c/f.e=extension
 )?
 (# (/s)
 /(?P  # /a/c/f.e/r=raw_args
 .*
 )
 )?
 )?
 )?
 )?
 /?$)
 ''', re.X)

now it has \w which means it checks only for [A-Za-z0-9_] so a - or space
will not be matched leading to 400 . I am using a workaround of replacing
space/hyphens with underscore for now

Thanks

Notice that this regex includes \s for the fields it's checking, which will 
pass spaces (and tabs!) (they get converted to underscores later).

OTOH, regex_args does not permit whitespace, and also results in a 400 
response, which may be what you're running into. The parametric router gives 
you a little more control over this stuff; see router.example.py.

[web2py] Re: difference between is_not_empty(), notnull=true and required=true

[Massimo Di Pierro]

notnull = True is enforced at the level of the database and the field
value cannot be None/NULL
requires=is_not_empty() is enforced in forced in forms ate web2py
level

required=True is completely different. It has nothing to do with the
field value. It requires that a value always be specified in
db.table.include(...) even if the field has a default or a computed
attribute. It is a measure to prevent some programming errors. I never
use it myself.

[web2py] mod_alias ? Redirecting subdomain directly to an web2py app

[Alexandre Strzelewicz]

Hi,

I used  the script 'setup-web2py-nginx-uwsgi-ubuntu.sh' to configure
my server.

But now when I go to http://myserver.com, it automatically redirect me
to http://myserver.com/welcome

Now I want to configure apache to map  http://MYAPP.domain.com/ to
http://myserver.com/MYAPP.

So I think I have to use mod_alias, Im right ?

This doesnt work :


 ServerName MYAPP.domain.com
 Alias / /MYAPP


Thank you

Re: [web2py] Re: postgress outer join

[Pawel Jasinski]

hi Massimo,

how about the following:

the _select/select would accept extra parameter 'inner_join' with
syntax/semantic analog to 'left', but emit JOIN at the sql level.
In case of such a unpleasant query as mine, it would be possible to
construct it with inner_join instead of the usual way.

My original query would look like this:

db(db.first).select(db.first.ALL, db.second.ALL, db.third.ALL, db.fourth.ALL,
inner_join=db.second.on(db.first.id==db.second.r12_first_id),
left=[db.third.on(db.third.r13_first_id==db.first.id),
db.fourth.on(db.fourth.r14_second_id==db.second.id)])

[web2py] Re: mod_alias ? Redirecting subdomain directly to an web2py app

[pbreit]

The Nginx web server has it's own way to configure routing. Have a look at:
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/server_names.html

You might be able to get what you want simply by setting a 
default_application in routes.py:
1. in "web2py" directory, open "router.example.py"
2. modify "default_application = 'welcome'," to "default_application = 
'myapp',"
3. save as "routes.py"
4. restart web2py

[web2py] Re: mod_alias ? Redirecting subdomain directly to an web2py app

[Alexandre Strzelewicz]

Sorry Its not with the nginx script but the apache script !

I want to redirect each subdomains on different web application of
we2py :

sub1.domain.com
-> welcome app

sub2.domain.com
-> application2



So changing only the default application on routes.py its not the
prefered solution

[web2py] Re: mod_alias ? Redirecting subdomain directly to an web2py app

[Anthony]

Have you tried using the new parameter-based routing system to map 
subdomains to different apps (see 
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/04#Parameter-Based-System)? If that 
doesn't work, maybe you can do it with the older pattern-based system (
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/04#Pattern-Based-System).

You can provide a link to the controller below, instructing the user
to right click on it and then select 'save link as...', he can store
the response in any selected directory using his choice of filename (a
name ending in .csv):

def tocsv():
  response.headers['content-type']='text/csv'
  rr=db((db.autos.dt>=t1) &
(db.autos.dt<=t2)).select(orderby=~db.autos.dt)

but also these:

they are all converted automatically so some may work and some may

[web2py] help testing

[Massimo Di Pierro]

In trunk we have - experimentally - conditional web2py models

1) models/anything.py (for all controllers)
2) models//anything.py (only forfunction in controller )
3) models///anything.py (only for function f in controller )

when you can http:////
all models 1 are executed alphabetically, the 2 alphabetically then 3
alphabetically.

Please help us test that:
1) it works
2) it works if you bytecode compile the app
3) it does not apps that were bytecode compiled with a previous web2py
version

This should provide a major speedup for those apps with lots of tables
like ShanaEden.

routers = dict(
BASE = dict(

domains = {

),
)

But I can't use Parameter-Based System + Pattern-Based System at the

Parameter Based System for domain pointing and Pattern Based System
for internal application routing
as :
routes_in = (('/login', '/app1/default/user/login'))

Does anyone have an easy step-by-step method to do it otherwise?

you just need this code in your views and plugin_wiki/markitup under

[web2py] Re: Markmin + Markitup

[Massimo Di Pierro]

p.s. you need the markiup js that comes with plugin_wiki because the
official one does not support markmin. One year ago I have submitted a
patch to the author but never got back from him. Perhaps you can help
by contacting him and advocating for it.

great improvement, I am testing right now.

A question that will raise soon is: How do I execute a model on demand? if I
am in /default/foo and want an object defined in /default/bar, how do I
force this model file to run?

I tried lot of things and I cant use  Parameter Based System + Pattern-

How can I do to map controllers and other when I use :

routers = dict(
BASE = dict(
# default_controller =
'default',
domains = {
"app1.com" : "app1",
"app2.com" : "app2"
}
),
)
?

routes_in = (('/login', '/app1/default/user/login'))  -> doesn't work.
It says that default/login is not avaible ...

No, currently you cannot mix the two systems. However, you might be able to 
use the pattern-based system to do the subdomain mapping, as the host can be 
included in the routes_in regular expression (see near the end of this 
section in the book: 
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/04#Pattern-Based-System).

If you've only got one or two pattern-based routes_in like this, maybe just 
switch to the parameter-based system, and then instead of this routes_in, 
just create an explicit 'login' action in your default controller to display 
the login form (so you won't need to do any special routing to get to the 
login page).

[web2py] Re: help testing

[Massimo Di Pierro]

not that I recommend this but you can do

def index():
execfile(os.path.join(request.folder,'models','mymodel.py'))
...
return locals()

The execfile can be outside.

I do not think it is a good idea because it would not take advantage
of pyc caching, bytecode compilation would break and because it is
better to define code to be executed on demand in modules (not
models), import them and call functions that do what you need
conditionally.

You can't mix, but you don't need to.

Functions aren't omitted by default. To omit functions (only in the default 
controller) create another router for your app, thus:

routers = dict(
   BASE = dict(
   domains = {
   "app1.com" : "app1",
   "app2.com" : "app2"
   }
),
   app1 = dict(
  functions = ["user", ...},
   )
)

...where functions is a list of *all* the functions in app1/default. 

Alternatively, don't bother, and access user/login instead of login.

This breaks the way it currently works. I have multile web2py apps that take

Does it work if you wrap the HTML in XML() (see 
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/05#XML)?

Re: [web2py] Re: help testing

[Bruno Rocha]

Thadeus, this is an improvement for code organization and less use of
memory, I dont think it breaks compatibility. because there are no place in
actual documentation where you can find info about using subfolders. Massimo
said sometime ago that subfolders was "reserved" for future implementation.
This future is now!

I think code organization with memory usage improvement is better than
simply subfolders with models that will be always executed, even if they are
not needed.

May be we can have some king of compatibility check
"run_in_model_compatibility = True" at some place, but. One thing we can
always have in mind: Changes in undocumented features or bug fixing cannot
be considered break of compatibility this is just the wrong usage, we ran in
to this same issue when URL was changed.

The way web2py imports all the models to memory is bad to performance, the
new style is very good and enough. I am testing it now and I think it will
be very productive.

How can we manage this kind of interest conflict?

web2py cookies never expire (unless the client deleted cookies) but
authentication does in two ways:

1) it check last acces datetime so you can change the expiration time
in seconds

auth.settings.expiration = 100

2) admin deletes session files that have been unused in a while, so
delete

Would there be an approach to this using some sort of loading scheme? The

Yes, lets say we have this app:

models/general.py # this model and all models in root folder is always
executed

models/default/something.py # this model and all on the same folder is only
executed when http:///app/default/* is requested

models/default/index/something.py # this model and all on the same fodler is
only executes when http:///app/default/index is requested

models/default/contact/something.py # this model and all on the same fodler
is only executes when http:///app/default/contact is requested

Imagine a bigger app with too many tables, too many validators etc. there
are no need to always load models of 'contact' page.

Re: [web2py] Re: help testing

[Bruno Rocha]

Also, I think it is a benefit when working with 'web2py_components' that
today on every ajax call executes all models again on a separate request, in
a modular page built with  5 components we are going to have all models
loaded for 5 different requests.

This new approach is a memory saver if you put specific code on to
models/component folder..

[web2py] Re: Confusion using experts4solutions

[Massimo Di Pierro]

experts4solutions should be considered an association of web2py
experts.

experts4solutions does not take programming jobs. The members and/or
the companies of members take the jobs and write the contracts.

As an association we do not open the doors to everybody but only to
those programmers who have proven themselves with web2py. The
acceptance rules currently require my approval or 5 endorsements. They
will be made even more strict as time goes by. By restricting
membership the association guarantees the professionally of its
members.

You can read more about the services provided by the association
directly on the web site.

It is my experience that members have no interest in competing for the
jobs which are usually posted on oDesk, rent-a-coder which tipically
range $100-$1000. I know members who have contracted jobs for $5000
and above. At least three members have engaged in long term contracts.
Two members been switched career as a result.

The goal of experts4solution is not to provide cheap workforce but to
provide highly skilled workforce.

If you email the association, the emails get forwarded to
http://groups.google.com/group/experts4solutions (*)
and we all (should) get them.
I strongly recommend that you contact individual members that are
close to you geographically.
In general, interaction in person works better.

Massimo

(*) If you are an approved member of experts4solution but not member
of the google group, this is a mistake and please email me to let me
know. the two are sync-ed manually and errors may occur.

I agree that some kind of router is a better approach, but this folder
approach is just the start, i see no problem for having both ways in the
future, the folder way is the default, the routed way can be optional.

[web2py] Re: help testing

[Massimo Di Pierro]

It works for me but under the hood there were a few changes.

We need to make sure that indeed we did not break anything and in
particular we did not break backward compatibility.

Some people, like Thadeus, have been using subfolders already. I do
not think that should be considered a backward compatibility issue but
I would like to know if other people have been doing that.

Breaking with other versions will be difficult, because they will be using
templates tothe application level. With that would not cause any bugs.
Perhaps what needs to betested is the automatic update of the framework.

[web2py] How do you manage/version you applications and web2py core?

[luckysmack]

Im somewhat new to web2py, having tried out django first. I like this
much more. But one thing im still wondering is how others manage their
web2py installations vs the applications in them. Especially when
needing to push an application to your server/live site. Normally
(like iwth django, or even coming from php using other frameworks)
your application is in a ocmpletely different directory than the
framework itself. This means that you only really edit in your
applications directory, whereas with web2py you generally have your
IDE's document root as the base of web2py. When editing/working on a
project do you point your ide to just your applications root? Do you
keep the entire web2py directory versioned and push to the server when
needed. Or do you keep web2py and the applicaiton dir in seperate
repos (like with git submodules).

Basically im curious on two things. How do you guys manage versioning
for your web2py installs vs the apps themselves. And how to you manage
taking your apps from development to production.

For me this does not breaks compatibility unless there are people using
subfolders for order execution arrangement. (which is not a documented
feature, and not a recommended practice)

Developers will need to think twice when modeling applications for choosing
what to put in specific folder or not, but this matters only for bigger or
componentized apps, small apps and prototypes or legacy apps would have just
to work on the old way (all models on root folder).

In the future, a routed approach will be a better way to define which model
needs to be executed for each controller request.

The automatic update will not breaks because it does not update user
applications.

[web2py] expression question

[niknok]

I'm wondering why this doesn't work:

delta=datetime.timedelta(seconds=15*60)
db(request.now>(db.qa.time_start+delta)).count()

TypeError: can't compare datetime.datetime to Expression


while this one does:

delta=datetime.timedelta(seconds=15*60)
db(db.qa.time_start<(request.now-delta)).count()


Struggled with that line all afternoon, and out of frustration decided
to transpose the values, and suddenly it worked.

Re: [web2py] How do you manage/version you applications and web2py core?

[Bruno Rocha]

I do that with mercurial (HG)

I have web2py folder as an hg repo, when a new version of web2py is released
I pull my web2py folder to the current release, in development I always work
with trunk.

Inside applications folder I have one HG repo for each application, on
development I push that to bitbucket, then on my production server I just
pull the specific application.

Note that web2py can work with applications on different folder, you can
have apps in /home/myapplications and web2py in /var/web2py.

[web2py] joins in crud select

[niknok]

Can I do joins in CRUD?

I'm getting a 404 Not Found error with this: 


rows=crud.select(db((db.qa.candidate==user_id)&(db.quiz.id==db.qa.quiz)))


But the following works alright: 

rows=db((db.qa.candidate==user_id)&(db.qa.quiz==db.quiz.id)).select()

[web2py] button action

[niknok]

I have this button that redirects to a URL:

form[0][-1][1].append(INPUT(_type='button',_value=T('Previous')
,_onclick='document.location="%s"' 
%URL("question")))

what do I add to _onclick to do the following:
1) session.current_item -=1
2) redirect(URL('question'))

Thanks Anthony.

I've actually tried that, but it was a tad too slow for me. :(

[web2py] Re: How do you manage/version you applications and web2py core?

[luckysmack]

How would i use applications in a different directory? would there be
any pros/cons to doing it like this? After getting an application
setup i find (so far, more advanced stuff might be different) i dont
edit the core web2py stuff very often. I can see the application in a
different dir could be easier for managing with git/hg. Does this have
any effect with the admin app? Would the admin app even be able to see
the apps if they are outside of the web2py/applications dir?

Re: [web2py] Re: help testing

[pbreit]

Except that I don't have any models that are specific to components. Will I 
need to duplicate model files into each folder corresponding to the 
controllers that use them? My models seem to be fairly cross-controller so 
I'm not sure how I will use this approach.

Re: [web2py] Re: help testing

[pbreit]

This screams "import" to me.

=== default.py ===
from myapp.models import db

def index()
...

[web2py] Re: How do you manage/version you applications and web2py core?

[pbreit]

I do exactly the same as Bruno, including pushing to BitBucket.

I assume a symbolic link should work but it's not really necessary. If you 
create your HG repos at the app level, it all works fine.

[web2py] Re: How do you manage/version you applications and web2py core?

[luckysmack]

Cool, i just added my app to the .hgignore file to keep web2py core
updated. I have my app setup with git and will be posting it on github
when its ready. I think for the time being ill just keep the apps in
the web2py directory and just point the domain to look at the app.
Thanks guys.

No, just leave all your models on root folder and everything will run as is,
if you have a component with a specific need for a model, put that on
specific folder.
