[web2py] Re: Python newbie: is knowledge of network programming must for web development stuff ?

[pbreit]

Yes, You can learn to use web2py to create useful web apps very easily with 
just a little bit of python and programming experience. The web2py book is 
terrific and even includes a very brief summary of the python language. The 
great thing is that you an download web2py to your Mac and pc and be 
programming in minutes.

[web2py] Re: Admin security: https vs localhost

[pbreit]

If I'm not mistaken, without the localhost requirement, a fraudster can go to 
/admin and run a pretty simple dictionary attack since they only need to guess 
the password.

Ok, as opposed to being required to know server, user and pass for a similar 
SSH attack?  This is a good point.   Perhaps we should add a slight delay in 
login processing for admin?  At least we can make brute force intractable.

[web2py] Re: 303 See Other - Error while using xmlrpc

[Robin Marshall]

That is what we added, did you restart apache?

These are the steps we use to recreate the problem:

Step 1 : Configure and expose a test xmlrpc service in web2py:

a) Create a simple web2py application "testapp"
b) Edit db.py and add the following where "auth.settings" are
configured

auth.settings.allow_basic_login = True

c) Edit default.py and add @auth.requires_login() to call()

@auth.requires_login()
def call()


d) In default.py, add a function to be exposed as an xmlrpc service.

@service.xmlrpc
def multiply(a=1,b=1):
product = int(a) * int(b)
return dict(answer=product)

e) Create a user in the "testapp" web application, e.g.
"b...@mycompany.com", password = "oranges".  This user will be used to
authenticate against the test service.

Step 2 : Invoke XMLRPC service from Python

Assume server is available on localhost:8000.  The path to the XMLRPC
wrapper is "testapp/default/call/xmlrpc".

Open a python shell

>>> from xmlrpclib import ServerProxy

Create a server using format http://user:pass@host:port/path
>>> server = 
>>> ServerProxy('http://b...@mycompany.com:oranges@localhost:8000/testapp/default/call/xmlrpc')

Make sure to use "https" or "http" as appropriate. To enable logging
of request/response data, create with the named parameter
"verbose=True", e.g.
>>> server = 
>>> ServerProxy('http://b...@mycompany.com:oranges@localhost:8000/testapp/default/call/xmlrpc',
>>>  verbose=True)

Invoke the multiply() method
>>> server.multiply(2, 2)

You should see a dictionary containing the answer or, if it's
incorrectly configured, a 303 SEE OTHER error.

Cheers,
Robin

Re: [web2py] Re: Python newbie: is knowledge of network programming must for web development stuff ?

[Miguel Lopes]

Yes. In my opinion basic Python is the only "almost requisite". The book
does a very good job at hand holding, it really helps to know a little
Python (which the book also caters for). My advice is follow along with the
book. If you get stuck by any Python stuff. Take a minute out of web2py and
just solve that issue with Python (at the command line interpreter or with
one of the many excellent shells, e.g. IDLE), then go back. Pretty soon
you'll feel incredibly productive :-)

There's a lot to web development, but the best way is to go and find out as
you feel the need, otherwise you will soon feel overwhelmed.

[web2py] Can't get linkto working in SQLFORM

[jc]

Hi,
Trying to use linkto, so following example in web2py 
book
 first, 
to try to understand.

I have copied the example with person and dog tables, in particular in def 
display_form(): I have

link = URL('list_records')
form = SQLFORM(db.person, record, deletable=True,
  upload=url, linkto=link, labels = {'dog.owner':"This 
person's dogs"})

as described in the book.

The books says the link generated will be 
"/test/default/list_records/dog?query=dog.owner%3D5" but in fact the link 
which appears when I visit /test/default/display_form/1 is 
 "/test/default/list_records/dog?query=list_records.dog.owner%3D%3D1", i.e. 
there is a spurious list.records and a spurious %3D. Not surprisingly the 
link doesn't work. Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong? 

Thanks.

Re: [web2py] Python 3 and the future of web2py

[Ross Peoples]

I know that Python 2.5 is the officially supported Python version of web2py, 
but I've been coding all of my stuff with the assumption that this will 
eventually change to Python 2.6, or even 2.7. I have applications running on 
both 2.6 and 2.7 in production. But since I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 Server to 
run most of my sites, Python 2.6.5 is my primary target until the next LTS 
version of Ubuntu Server. Although I've been hearing that the new version of 
Mac OS X Lion will have Python 2.7.

I guess this all goes back to the fact that I think Python 3 is cool because 
it's new, and I'm sure I will start playing with it soon, but no 
distributions are really using or supporting it yet, so it probably will be 
another year or two before any serious Python 3 movement begins (not just 
with web2py). By then, there will probably some kind of huge speed boost, 
or, as you mention, an accumulation of small features that will entice more 
people to start switching to it. I know that it's been out for a while, but 
I still consider it to be somewhat beta since the barrier for entry is so 
high. I'm sure others feel the same way, but again, this will probably 
change soon.

[web2py] Re: Admin security: https vs localhost

[Ross Peoples]

After so many attempts, admin should block the IP address attempting to gain 
access. Further, an invalid password, should require a 5 second timeout. 
After maybe 5 attempts, block the IP. The DenyHosts script that is used to 
prevent SSH brute force attacks does the same thing basically.

[web2py] Re: Admin security: https vs localhost

[Ross Peoples]

And maybe we should require some level of complexity on the admin passwords. 
The other day I set my dev machine's password to a single letter. I think 
that could be a potential security problem :)

[web2py] Re: default function of a controller

[Ross Peoples]

If your controller doesn't have an index function at all, you could add 
something like this to one of your models:

if request.controller = 'mycontroller' and request.function == 'index':
request.function = 'myfunction'

So that if someone tries to go to /mycontroller or /mycontroller/index, they 
will get the 'myfunction' function instead.

[web2py] Ldap and user gruops (Require ldap-group)

[Jose de Soto]

Hello,

I am developing a APP  and I would like to use this APP with our LDAP
and filter the users by groups. I have this code in APACHE:

AuthLDAPURL ldap://localhost/ou=users,dc=comain,dc=com?uid
AuthLDAPGroupAttribute memberUid
AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN off
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative on
Require ldap-group
cn=developer,cn=testers,cn=groups,dc=domain,dc=com

It works fine. Only people from the list developer and tester can get
inside this area. I am trying to do the same in Web2py, but I can not
make a filter from the groups

I have this code and is working ok without groups:

auth.settings.login_methods=[ldap_auth(mode='uid_r',server='localhost',port='389',
base_dn='ou=users,dc=domain,dc=com', filterstr='objectClass=*')]


I not sure how to use: Require ldap-group in web2py.

Anyone can help me?


In advance many thanks

[web2py] Re: Admin security: https vs localhost

[cjrh]

I like the timeout/delay idea for a failed password, and I very much like 
the IP block after a number of failed attempts, but I am not too fond of a 
complexity requirement.  During development on my local machine (bound to 
localhost), my standard admin password is "a".  I would have to have to deal 
with a complexity checker during development; and if we then say it will be 
enabled only for production but not dev, then we need more code and 
error-handling to manage the distinction, and it all becomes a lot of work. 
  I think the safeguards that are currently in web2py are quite sufficient, 
and we can improve it a little bit more by penalizing brute force on the 
password, as pbreit pointed out is currently vulnerable.

Alternatively, you could just use a strong random password on production 
(and change it periodically). I use Roboform to generate and remember 20+ 
character random passwords (another good option is Lastpass). Even with some 
of the other protections being discussed, this is still a good idea.

[web2py] Powertable and virtual columns

[Kenneth Lundström]

Hello list,

I´m using Powertable to show a list of records. With virtual columns I 
create links to modify, copy and so on. To save space I´d like to add 
more links into one column.


I´m using:
@virtualsettings(label=T('Edit'))
def edit(self):
return A('Edit', _href=URL('receipt', 'create_receipt', 
args=[self.t_receipt.id]))


to declare a new column, is it possible somehow to return 2 or more links?


Kenneth

[web2py] Re: Admin security: https vs localhost

[Ross Peoples]

Well, as far as the delay and the blocking of the IP, I put this together, 
which would go somewhere in the /admin/models/access.py file, but I'd like 
to get some comments, as I've never coded this type of thing before so I'd 
like to know if there's a better way to code it, and what problems it might 
cause:

import os, pickle, time 
deny_file = os.path.join(request.folder, 'private', 'hosts.deny') 
denied_hosts = cache.ram('admin_denied_hosts', lambda: read_hosts_deny(), 
time_expire=3600) 

if request.client in denied_hosts: 
if denied_hosts[request.client] >= 5: 
raise HTTP(200, T(
'admin disabled because too many invalid password attempts')) 

def read_hosts_deny(): 
if os.path.exists(deny_file): 
with open(deny_file, 'rb') as f: 
d = pickle.load(f) 
 
return d 
else: 
return {} 
 
def write_hosts_deny(): 
with open(deny_file, 'wb') as f: 
pickle.dump(denied_hosts, f) 

def failed_login(): 
if not request.is_local: 
times_denied = 0 
if request.client in denied_hosts: 
times_denied = denied_hosts[request.client] + 1 
 
denied_hosts[request.client] = times_denied 
write_hosts_deny() 
 
time.sleep(5) 
 
def successful_login(): 
if not request.is_local: 
if request.client in denied_hosts: 
del denied_hosts[request.client] 
write_hosts_deny() 
 
 
 
# Then in /admin/controllers/default.py -> index() # 
 

def index(): 
""" Index handler """ 

send = request.vars.send 
if DEMO_MODE: 
session.authorized = True 
session.last_time = t0 
if not send: 
send = URL('site') 
if session.authorized: 
redirect(send) 
elif request.vars.password: 
if verify_password(request.vars.password): 
session.authorized = True 
### ADDED THE FOLLOWING LINE ### 
successful_login() 
 

if CHECK_VERSION: 
session.check_version = True 
else: 
session.check_version = False 

session.last_time = t0 
if isinstance(send, list):  # ## why does this happen? 
send = str(send[0]) 

redirect(send) 
else: 
response.flash = T('invalid password') 
 ADDED THE FOLLOWING LINE ### 
failed_login() 
# 

return dict(send=send)

This adds a 5 second delay to a failed login attempt, adds the IP address to 
the denied_hosts dictionary, along with the number of failed attempts. This 
dictionary is cached in RAM and is written to /admin/private/hosts.deny to 
maintain the list after a restart. Once a login is successful, the failed 
attempt counter is reset to zero.

[web2py] Re: Admin security: https vs localhost

[Ross Peoples]

One quick change: In failed_login(), the line:

times_denied = 0

Should really be:

times_denied = 1

[web2py] Re: Admin security: https vs localhost

[cjrh]

That looks generally right, but you should invalidate the cache inside 
write_hosts_deny(), and I am fairly sure the *with* statement only arrived 
in 2.5.

[web2py] JSON-RPC Client

[Ross Peoples]

I know that web2py has a nice JSON-RPC Server built into it, but if I wanted 
two web2py applications to talk to each other, first would JSON-RPC be a 
good choice? And if so, does web2py have a built-in JSON-RPC client, or 
would I have to easy_install python-cjson and jsonrpclib?

[web2py] Re: Admin security: https vs localhost

[Ross Peoples]

Well, support for Python 2.4 was officially dropped with version 1.96.1, so 
I don't think 'with' will be a problem. You're right about the cache 
invalidation. Nice catch!

Sorry, I'm still not quite sure what you're trying to do. Can you give an 
example of a command you want to enter at the console, and what 
output/effect you expect? Is this something you have successfully done with 
the web shell but that does not work as expected with the console? 
Generally, the web shell and the console should provide the same 
functionality.
 

> Can I interact with my application using a web-browser when I use the

Yes, though they'll be running in separate Python processes. The browser 
will be sending regular http requests to your app via the Rocket server, and 
the console will simply give you a Python command line in which you can 
execute commands in the same context in which your app runs its controller 
functions (i.e., the console context will include all the web2py globals as 
well as objects defined in your models and, optionally, a controller that 
you specify). It should be the same in the web shell.

[web2py] Re: break in template not working as expected

[DenesL]

Hi apple,

when processed by the template parser that creates:

for x in range(6):
response.write('\n', escape=False)
break
response.write('\n', escape=False)
response.write("hello there")
response.write('\n', escape=False)
pass
response.write(' \n\n', escape=False)

so "hello there" is outside the for loop.

The book says in chapter 6:

"A code block starts with a line ending with a colon and ends with a
line beginning with pass. The keyword pass is not necessary when the
end of the block is obvious from the context."

In this case the second sentence applies, the code block ends after
'break'.
Note that 'return', 'continue', or 'raise' would also end a code
block.

[DenesL]

Hi Kenneth,

it really depend more on what you want the links to look like than
anything else.
You could have them one after the other:

return SPAN(A('Edit', _href=URL('receipt', 'create_receipt',
args=[self.t_receipt.id])),
XML(' '),
A('another link', _href=...))

or you could use DIVs, TABLE, UL/OL or CSS to have them stacked.

[web2py] calendar error maximum call stack size

[apple]

I have a form which is loaded as a component using LOAD.

The master page includes web2py_ajax.html and each component also
loads this file. However this  prevents date fields from working in
the form. When I click on a date field the calendar appears as normal,
but when I select a date I get a javascript error in Chrome of
"Uncaught range error maximum stack size exceeded" and
"Date.setFullYear" is repeated a number of times. The error in Firefox
is "too much recursion".

A workaround is to leave out web2py_ajax.html in the components. But
then I have to manually add in the bits that are needed such as
loading response files, and initializing flash messagesand I am
not sure what else is used by the components.

[web2py] Re: calendar error maximum call stack size

[Anthony]

I don't think it's common to include web2py_ajax.html in components. 
response.files is intended to be a way to include CSS and JS files in the 
page's  -- however, your component won't be able to do that 
anyway since the main page has already loaded. Components should still be 
able to display flash messages on the page. Can you show an example of what 
you're trying to do in your component view that requires including 
web2py_ajax.html in it?

[web2py] how to POST a file without using a form?

[weheh]

How do I POST a file (to upload to my website) using a web2py app but
without user intervention via a form? For instance, let's say I have a
cron job that periodically looks for new jpegs in a folder and then
uploads them to my website automatically.

Extra karma points if you can also tell me how to catch the POST on
the server side. I've seen some old threads on the topic here but
can't quite figure it out, yet.

[web2py] Hosting web2p with mod_python on shared hosting

[Tushar Chandra]

Hi guys,
 I have been trying to  host web2py with mod_python on a shared
hosting env. (as My provider doesnt support mod_wsgi)

 So first i did what was given in the book -
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/11#Shared-Hosting-with-mod_python
 I was getting the KeyError: 'SCRIPT_URL' . So I replaced the
following line in web2py_modpython.py -

 req.subprocess_env['PATH_INFO'] =
req.subprocess_env['SCRIPT_URL']

   to
  req.subprocess_env['PATH_INFO'] =  '/var/clients/
client75/web285/web/'

Now i was getting invalid request error

Then i modified some lines  in modpythonhandler.py (as told by massimo
in a similar post) given below


if 'SCRIPT_NAME' in options:
# Override SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO if requested.
env['SCRIPT_NAME'] = options['SCRIPT_NAME']
env['PATH_INFO'] = req.uri[len(options['SCRIPT_NAME']):]

  to

if 'SCRIPT_NAME' in options:
# Override SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO if requested.
env['SCRIPT_NAME'] = options['SCRIPT_NAME']
req.uri = env['SCRIPT_NAME']
env['PATH_INFO'] = req.uri[len(options['SCRIPT_NAME']):]

m still getting the invalid request error

[web2py] Re: calendar error maximum call stack size

[apple]

I am using response.files to add my own css to override base.css. I
will now use my own include file instead.

The component is a form. When I submit the form then it reloads via
ajax. When web2py_ajax is loaded this shows the flash messages. The
flash messages do not show up unless explicitly called somewhere. Of
course I can always add the code calling up the flash messages myself
explicitly.

So overall this is not an unfixable problem. Just thought maybe there
was a way of avoiding the error in the first place with a tweak to the
calendar function.

[web2py] inserting an empty list

Just curious,

if an empty list s returned, can I not still insert it in a Field of
type list:string, then later test based on length ? (if len(myList)>0:
blablabla)

CSS files are supposed to be included in the head of the HTML document, and 
the component can't do that since the component is loaded into a div within 
the page after the head has already been loaded. I think you can include CSS 
files within the body and it will work in many browsers, but technically, I 
don't think it is valid HTML.

When a component action sets response.flash, the message should be flashed 
when the component content is updated. Can you show some code where this is 
not working?

[web2py] Get date from datetime with DAL

[Angelo Compagnucci]

Ello everybody!

I'm stuck whith a really simple thing, but the simpler are the worst!

I wrote this query:

rows = dbradius(dbradius.radacct.CalledStationId==hsname).select(
 count,
 dbradius.radacct.AcctStartTime.year(),
 dbradius.radacct.AcctStartTime.month(),
 dbradius.radacct.AcctStartTime.day(),
 groupby=entry_date)

Query works well, but I want a signle field for the date part, not the
three fields (year, month, day) I obtain.

There is a simple way to accomplish this?

Thank you!

[web2py] R: Re: R: Re: R: Re: R: Re: Web Shell problem on Mozilla Firefox 5 and Internet Explorer 9 (PC with Vista)

[Valter Foresto]

Anthony,

*Can I interact with my application using a web-browser when I use the 
standard console ? ** ** **
Yes, though they'll be running in separate Python processes. The browser 
will be sending regular http requests to your app via the Rocket server, and 
the console will simply give you a Python command line in which you can 
execute commands in the same context in which your app runs its controller 
functions (i.e., the console context will include all the web2py globals as 
well as objects defined in your models and, optionally, a controller that 
you specify). It should be the same in the web shell.** *

The exact solution is described above:
(a) - run the app via Rocket server as usually
(b) - then use the console in same context of the app using :
@echo off
set /P app="Enter app/controller to run (controller optional): "
cd c:\path\to\web2py
python web2py.py -S %app% -M -N
 as you suggested before (... previously I missed point (a)). 

Just discovered and tested, full understanded now, 
Thank you very much,

[web2py] Re: Get date from datetime with DAL

[DenesL]

Hi Angelo,

it depends on the type of field,

date fields can be accessed directly,
e.g. dbradius.radacct.AcctStartTime

datetime fields need .date():
dbradius.radacct.AcctStartTime.date()

Re: [web2py] Re: Get date from datetime with DAL

[Angelo Compagnucci]

Thank you Denes,

What I'm trying to do is to select the date part from a datetime as
specified in the email subject, so the AcctStartTime field is a
datetime.

I'm navigating the epydoc documentation for dal.Field
http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/epydoc/web2py.gluon.dal.Field-class.html

and I cannot find reference for the date() method (only
year(),month(), day(), hour(), minutes(), seconds()) . Perhaps the
documentation is out of date.

I made several tries and in one of this I tryed also the date() method
in a query something like this:

rows = dbradius(dbradius.radacct.CalledStationId==hsname).select(
                              count,
                              dbradius.radacct.AcctStartTime.date(),
                              groupby=entry_date)

and it throws an exception. I can really make a mistake, so I'll try
your suggestion as soon as possible!

Thank you.

[web2py] display value in dropdown listbox

[Jim Steil]

Hi

I have the following tables/relations:

contact has a district that has a district manager

contact table has a district id
district table has an auth_user id

when editing a contact I want my dropdown to display my district number 
and the name of the manager.


How would I specify my validator on contact.districtId to display the 
name of the manager from the auth_user table?


I've tried:

district = db.define_table('district',
Field('districtId', 'id'),
Field('districtNumber', 'integer', required=True,
  unique=True, label='District Number'),
Field('name', length=50, required=True, unique=True),
Field('salesmanId', db.auth_user, required=True,
  label='District Manager'),
Field('includeInArAging', 'boolean', required=True,
  label='Include in A/R Aging'),
Field('regionNumber', 'integer', label='Region Number'))

district.districtNumber.requires = [IS_NOT_EMPTY(),
  IS_NOT_IN_DB(db, 'district.districtNumber')]
district.name.requires = [IS_NOT_EMPTY(),
  IS_NOT_IN_DB(db, 'district.name')]
district.salesmanId.requires = IS_IN_DB(db, db.auth_user,
'%(first_name)s %(last_name)s')

contact = db.define_table('contact',
Field('contactId', 'id'),
Field('company', length=50),
Field('title', length=20),
Field('firstName', length=25, label='First Name'),
Field('lastName', length=25, label='Last Name'),
Field('address1', length=50, label='Address'),
Field('address2', length=50, label=''),
Field('city', length=30),
Field('state', length=2),
Field('zipCode', length= 10, label='ZIP Code'),
Field('county', length=30),
Field('districtId', db.district, required=True, 
label='District'),

Field('phone1', length=25),
Field('phone2', length=25),
Field('phone3', length=25),
Field('mobilePhone', length=25, label='Mobile'),
Field('pager', length=25),
Field('homePhone', length=25, label='Home'),
Field('fax', length=25),
Field('emailAddress', length=10, label='Email'),
Field('notes', 'text'),
Field('priceListDelivery', length=10, label='Price Lists Via'))

contact.districtId.requires = IS_IN_DB(db, 'district.id', 
'%(salesmanId.first_name)s', zero=('select district'))


...but, I get an error on the salesmanId.first_name

I believe I have a fundamental misunderstanding of the ways in which 
this works.  Any pointers would be appreciated...

Hmmm...might need to see the model, controller and database. Are you in

form.accepts?

Re: [web2py] Re: redirect to profile if first time login

[pbreit]

There's also auth.settings.login_next

Perhaps you could set one or the other and then figure out some sort of 
check you can do to determine if it's a first login or not. A better check 
than first login might be if the profile is sufficiently filled out or not.

[web2py] Bookings with expiration date

[Ialejandro]

Hi! I'm currently building an app where I need accomplish this:

When a booking is made I specify the booking start date time and the
booking end date time. How could I check periodically when a booking
has ended (according to end date)??

For example:

db.define_table('building1_rooms'
Field('roomname'),
Field('owner'))

db.define_table('building1_bookings',
Field('requester'),
Field('startdate'),
Field('enddate'),
Field('validated','boolean'))

so what I need is this, a booking is created, an admin validates the
booking, room.owner takes building1_bookings.requester, and when
server date == enddate,  room.owner should be 'Free'

def getdata():
rows = db(db.test).select(db.test.data.date())
return dict(rows=rows)

web2py throws an exception with the message:

So what's wrong?

[web2py] Two problems with LOAD; one may be a bug(?)

[Cliff]

Running Version 1.97.1 (2011-06-26 19:25:44)

First problem:
This is a snippet from a view file.  It works except that it displays
the output of the quals function.  Apparently it cannot find my
quals.load file and is using the generic load file in its place.


{{=LOAD(c='users',f='quals.load',
extension='load', args=(request.args(0)),
ajax=True, target='tabs-3')}}


As you can see, the controller is 'users.'  The 'quals.load' file is
in the 'views/users' directory, i.e. views/users/quals.load.

There's not much in quals.load.  Here's the whole thing:

Qualifications required by the plan.
Hello, world.
{{=myreturn}}

myreturn is the output from the quals function in the users
controller.

Anybody got a clue as to what's happening?

Second problem:
In trying to find out if setting ajax to True was causing my first
problem, I stumbled over a second.  Setting 'ajax=False' or not
setting ajax at all causes an exception.  Could this be a bug?  If so,
please let me know where and how to report the thing.  It's totally
reproducible on my system.

Re: [web2py] Re: Powertable and virtual columns

[Kenneth Lundström]

Thank you both very much.

Now my Powertable looks much better.


Kenneth


Do with links. I add a new column with links to edit and delete records.

The example:

 @virtualsettings(label=T('Acciones'))
def editar(self):
id = 1
link_editar = URL(request.application,'default', 
'editar_tipo_nomina/')
link_icono_editar = IMG(_src=URL(r=request,c='static', 
f='images/edit-icon24.png'), _alt='Editar')

link_eliminar= URL(r =request,f='eliminar_registro',
args=[self.tipo_nomina.id 
,'eliminar','tipo_nomina'])

link_icono_eliminar= IMG(_src=URL(r=request,c='static',
 f='images/delete-icon24.png'),
 _alt='Eliminar', 
_onclick="ajax('"+link_eliminar+"',[],'');"

)
return (A(link_icono_editar, _href= link_editar + 
str(self.tipo_nomina.id )), ' | ' 
,A(link_icono_eliminar))


2011/7/12 DenesL mailto:denes1...@yahoo.ca>>

Hi Kenneth,

it really depend more on what you want the links to look like than
anything else.
You could have them one after the other:

return SPAN(A('Edit', _href=URL('receipt', 'create_receipt',
args=[self.t_receipt.id ])),
   XML(' '),
   A('another link', _href=...))

or you could use DIVs, TABLE, UL/OL or CSS to have them stacked.

I couldn't understand your setup clearly: what's the name of the
controller file, the controller function, the views file ... Check
that these are what they are supposed to be. You say you got an
exception when ajax=False. What was the exception?

Re: [web2py] Bookings with expiration date

[Kenneth Lundström]

Who is doing the checking? If you want to send an email when a room is 
empty you need to run web2py from command prompt with cron to check if 
the end_date has gone.


When designing the database its maybe not a good idea to create a own 
tables for every buildning. Instead create a rooms table:


db.define_table('rooms'
Field('building'),
Field('roomname'),
Field('owner'))


Kenneth


Hi! I'm currently building an app where I need accomplish this:

When a booking is made I specify the booking start date time and the
booking end date time. How could I check periodically when a booking
has ended (according to end date)??

For example:

db.define_table('building1_rooms'
 Field('roomname'),
 Field('owner'))

db.define_table('building1_bookings',
 Field('requester'),
 Field('startdate'),
 Field('enddate'),
 Field('validated','boolean'))

so what I need is this, a booking is created, an admin validates the
booking, room.owner takes building1_bookings.requester, and when
server date == enddate,  room.owner should be 'Free'

[web2py] Re: display value in dropdown listbox

[Massimo Di Pierro]

You can do:

contact.districtId.requires = IS_IN_DB(db, 'district.id', '%
(salesmanId)s', zero=('select district'))
contact.districtId.represent = lambda id:
db.district(id).salesman.first_name

BUT mind that there will be two db queries every time you try
represent a districtID. I would not recommend it. I would cache the
salesman names or store then in table district.

Definitively web2py does not uses Django.

Re: [web2py] Bookings with expiration date

[pbreit]

If you want to run a job that periodically runs through all the rooms to set 
a status to "free" if necessary, I would suggest some sort of cron job. You 
can run it as frequently as once per minute. I do that to change product 
prices, expire abandoned orders, expire products, etc (pricetack.com).

The alternative is coming up with some business and query logic to piece 
together a room's availability "on demand", perhaps based on the reserved 
time periods.

In your case, it seems like you will need to do #2 because I would think you 
would be checking available on a variety of different days for a variety of 
future dates.

It's an interesting programming challenge and one you should probably put 
some time into thinking about the various alternatives. There might even be 
some guidance in Google or something.

Re: [web2py] Re: Admin security: https vs localhost

[web2py] Re: Many modal windows on one page

[Kenneth Lundström]

Is this impossible? Should I instead try something with a form in a DIV. 
I got some hints from Branko but could just not get it working. 
Javascript sounded a nice way but even their I only got close, not perfect.



Kenneth


Hello everybody,

I´m trying to create a page with a list of items. On every row a item 
is shown and every row has an Edit button. Instead of going to a new 
page to edit the record I´m trying to use modal window via AJAX to 
edit the record.


Mmodal plugin gets me quite close to a solution, but the problem is 
that mmodal is great for one link on the page. I´m going to need many 
links to the same form but different attributes. With mmodal I have to 
create a new different form for every row.


So far I have edited the example for mmdaol to look like this:
{{a=PluginMModal(title=T('Edit 
record'),content=form_edit,close='close',width=40,height=82)}}

{{=a}}
{{=a.link(T('Edit record'))}}

So instead of a text in content I´m sending a form that is created in 
the controller.


Ideal would be that in the a.link I could define what record I´d like 
to edit.


Any ideas how to achieve this?


Kenneth

[web2py] Re: Two problems with LOAD; one may be a bug(?)

[pbreit]

Maybe try:
 {{=LOAD('users', 'quals.load', args=(request.args(0)), ajax=True)}}

The c= and f= are fine but not necessary. The extra ".load" is definitely 
unnecessary and may have been causing the problem. You can insert .load in 
either place but not both.

If that works, try adding back the target. Also, as you have done, try it 
with ajax=False.

[web2py] Re: inserting an empty list

[pbreit]

Hmmm..hard to say. Do you have an error trace?

Shouldn't matter but I would conside these changes:

targets=None
to
targets=[]

if targets is not None:
to
if targets:

if targets:targetsList.append(targets)
to
targetsList.append(targets)

If you are doing "if targ:stargetsList.append(targ)", isn't "if targ" always 
going to be True? And the "else" clause will never run?

Are the db.commits necessary?

Note, LOAD itself returns a div, and the id of that div is whatever you 
specify as the 'target' argument (if you don't specify 'target', it creates 
a random id). So, you're actually nesting the LOAD div inside another div, 
and they both have the same id (i.e., "tabs-3"). So, either don't put the 
LOAD inside a div, or make sure you give it a different id. Also, you don't 
need to specify the '.load' in your f argument if you also specify the 
extension argument (in that case, I think it will end up ignoring the 
extension argument).

There is currently a bug with ajax=False where response.generic_patterns is 
not getting passed to the component, so generic views are not working with 
non-ajax components at the moment. If you're getting an invalid view error, 
that could be the problem.

if key in db.local_user.fields:rec.update(**{key:value})
db.commit()

The filter option seems like a good thing as well, i will try that one
next!

Thanks for the help!

[web2py] Re: inserting an empty list

[mart]

I'll try your suggestions. The db.commits() are necessary because DAL
is used outside of the web2py web context (using dal in script).

if targ: ... hum... yeah, you're right its a useless thing (just
removed that now, thanks :))

There is no other stack trace, but I suppose I can remove the try/
except bloc and let python spit out what it really thinks. Ok, yes,
I'll do that too.

Thanks for the input!

[web2py] Re: inserting an empty list

[mart]

Mystery solved!

the culprit was none other than my deficient brain!

the error 'Field value does not belong to the table' should have been
taken more literally... there is no Field called 'value' yet i was
trying to update a field called value :(

self.db.local_history.insert(input_name=buildSpecName\
,input_path='{0}'.format(self.dataSource)\
,value=self.dataSource\
,.


sorry for the trouble! and thanks for the help!

Easyframework is kind of neat but the licensing is ridiculous for this sort

It is really Easy to use, and I do not worry about spending only $49 to get
it working on my apps.

I will try to create a demo app, but it is really easy.

The price is only part of the problem. That and the limited license almost 
guarantee minimal usage and I would never feel comfortable recommending it. 
Stuff like that benefits from lots of users. I think the developer has made 
a major mistake.

Easy is CC Licensed, which says you can use it for free (even for commercial
sites) but you cant remove the copyright information from files, and you
have to keep the backlink in footer for the pages.

If you need to rename files, remove the backlink and remove the copyright
information, you have to pay $49 for a license and you will be able to use
it for any closed source software/website.

For me it is very good, because I am working mainly on websites/closed
source internal apps. It is a time saver for me. simple stuff but works
well.

If the needs is for a more flexible license I recommend go with JqueryUI
Libs.

Re: [web2py] Python 3 and the future of web2py

[LightDot]

Also, python 2.6.5 is in RHEL 6 / SL 6 / CentOS 6, which many linux 
hosting/VPS companies will be using for years to come.

[web2py] Re: Python 3 and the future of web2py

[Rahul]

Its true that there are existing python versions 2.6, 2.7.x but what I
would like is Web2py support for Python 3.
Reasons:
1. We should provide early support for Python 3 (regardless of what
wsgi standard it will provide) because it may trigger a lot of python
users to adopt Web2py as it might be the ONLY Full Stack Framework
that will be supporting Python 3
2. Python 3.x is the future of Python (I see this to be very true)
Eventually we would all be using Python 3.x in our production
systems.
3. Lets progress rather than remaining stagnant with existing versions
of Python only. I mean Why Not the latest Python ??

Cheers, Rahul D

[web2py] After CAS login, password is reset

[Lucas D'Avila]

Hello!
I'm making some tests with the new CAS, but at some point after login the
user's password is reset (set to NULL in the database),

I think it's because in line 1629 of Class gluon.tools.Auth (trunk version),
the variable "cas_user [passfield] " is set as None,
then the method "self.get_or_create_user()" is called that updates the
password to null in database

This is a bug, or i'm doing something wrong?

My environment are two applications (copies of wellcome app), with the
following models:
*
*
*accounts_app/models/db.py:*
auth_db = DAL('postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost/accounts')
db_session = DAL('sqlite://storage.sqlite')
session.connect(request = request, response = response, db = db_session)

from gluon.tools import Auth
auth = Auth(db = auth_db)
auth.define_tables(username=True)


*client_app/models/db.py:*
auth_db = DAL('postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost/accounts')
db_session = DAL('sqlite://storage.sqlite')
session.connect(request = request, response = response, db = db_session)

auth = Auth(db = auth_db, cas_provider='
http://localhost:8000/accounts/default/user/cas')
auth.define_tables(username=True, migrate = False)
auth.settings.login_form=CasAuth(globals(), urlbase = "
http://localhost:8000/accounts/default/user/cas";, actions=['login',
'validate', 'logout'])

One more doubt, is correct to connect both applications on the same (auth)
database? was the way I found to keep the permissions centralized in one
place.

[web2py] web2py - Best Practice

[nic]

Dear friends,

I am a huge web2py fan and would like to propose an idea to the
community.

I understand that web2py is a development environment and has it’s
roots as an educational platform. One of the things that I have
personally found most useful are the free appliances. However as
web2py has matured over time a lot of these have become dated and as
new developments have emerged I have often been confused about best
practices going forward.

I would like to propose that we develop a suite of products (open
source of course) based on the best practices of web2py that would be:

Useful and usable by non-programmers
Serve as a focal point for the community on just how great web2py
could be
Serve as a template for developers

To be clear the idea is to create a separate project from web2py
itself and then find the best of breed products and develop them in
web2py. Things like:

A Wiki / Blog / CMS / Forum
An Online Store
A Personal Accounting System
A Media Center
etc ...

The focus would be on producing complete usable and beautiful
applications.

I feel that the creation of a separate project will have some
important advantages such as:

We can create a “brand” around the products.
It will not “hijack” the core web2py focus.
Can have separate focus such as functionality and look and feel
Can include complimentary, tested projects such as open source icons
and skins
Can have it’s own development cycle, (eg release every 6 months)
Can have it’s own repositories etc.

Ultimately the products could be made available by web hosts just by
the click of a button just like the php ones are now.

I am very interested in the thoughts of the community and if there is
interest I will move to the next step and create a site (probably on
GAE) for further discussion such as:

decide on a name
decide on goals
decide on processes
find a home
decide on products
etc ...

[web2py] Re: Web2py uses Django... on GAE

[Massimo Di Pierro]

This is a GAE bug and we should open a ticket. GAE should not issue
warning about libraries we do not use and we should not reference
libraries we do not use to make the warnings go away. Do you want to
file the bug report? I not, I will do it.
