[Rahul]

okay - Here are a few reasons - 

*@Anthony *- What exactly is it that you are trying to hide? Can you give 
an example?

Here is the example - 
Please consider the below view page source (form when serialized) line when 
I have filled up a form * using a database for my software BugBuster* in 
this case - This is going to be a* post *method -  All the variables are 
shown filled in before the "submit" is done actually. Now it could be very 
easy to pass wrong values using some hacking techniques by malicious people 
(inshort hackers) and send wrong information into the database. 

It is this kind of thing I need to prevent one from doing to my 
application. Please don't get me wrong - I ain't any paranoid when it comes 
to security. Its just that thing,  that I need to make sure that my clients 
feel secure when they are using my application in production (online). I 
dont care if others are able to see parameters for trivial comments posting 
or blogs there off but when it comes to enterprise level security, I think 
we should provide such stuff or at least a way to conceal the information 
being passed. 
Even clients feel confident that such things are being taken care by the 
software itself. I know validations can take care of this to some extent 
but that would eventually be an overkill during post method. And we cannot 
have it for each field anyways.

--> Also note here I am not exactly trying to lock "View page source" for 
the end users, they may be able to do it as per default browsers 
functionality but rather would see something  very clean and no parameters 
like below pyjamas example view serailized. 

*



PyJamas Auto-Generated HTML file TimeSheet


http://pyjs.org/examples/timesheet/output/bootstrap.js>">


*


--> The above line  *  * is *just a thought*
some html tag could be defined or supported in HTML5 or above  or *even in 
may be web2py 2.0 *that would toggle secure page view and unsecure page 
view ... 
if secure is *True* - users would see some stuff very basic like above 
pyjamas example when viewing page source 
else as usual - normal view page source (what it shows currently) 

I hope I am clear this time and not causing confusions :) 
Thanks,

>From what I've read and tinkered with myself, it doesn't seem possible
to prevent others from finding a way to view your html source. My
observation is that you usually trade off security vs. ease of use.
The more locked doors and alarms, the more annoying your system
becomes for the typical user. I prefer an open door policy, myself. As
others have mentioned, on the web, don't publish what you don't want
others to take. One thing that crosses my mind is that you might try
generating pdf on the fly for your pages. I haven't tried the pdf
output capability from web2py, so I don't know how useful it would be
if you had graphics or video, but you might want to check it out. Good
luck and let us know what you come up with. Seems like there are a
bunch of smart folks here who are interested in knowing if there's an

[web2py] Re: Picture Gallery

[Praveen Bhat]

Hello Peter,

I see the following:

 def 
slideshow(links=None,table=None,field='image',transition='fade',width=200,height=200):
"""
## Embeds a slideshow
It gets the images from a table

- ``table`` is the table name
- ``field`` is the upload field in the table that contains images
- ``transition`` determines the type of transition, e.g. fade, etc.
- ``width`` is the width of the image
- ``height`` is the height of the image
"""

import random
id=str(random.random())[2:]
if table:
rows = db(db[table].id>0).select()
if db[table][field].type=='upload':
images = [IMG(_src=URL('default','download',args=row[field])) for row in 
rows]
else:
images = [IMG(_src=row[field]) for row in rows]
elif links:
images = [IMG(_src=link) for link in links.split(',')]
else:
images = []
return DIV(SCRIPT("jQuery(document).ready(function() 
{jQuery('#slideshow%s').cycle({fx: '%s'});});" % 
(id,transition)),DIV(_id='slideshow'+id,*images))


But how do I use it in my pages?

Re: [web2py] using form in same page?

[Martín Mulone]

To edit an image you need to pass the id of the row to SQLFORM.

Ex.:
row_id = 1
form = SQLFORM(db.ref, row_id)

[web2py] Re: web2py site and disabling browser right clicks

[LightDot]

This two examples you have given, from your web2py form and from pyjamas, 
are they functionally equivalent? If they are, please post the javascript 
for both pages too, so that we can really compare.

When you mention this secure tag in html5 or web2py 2.0, it seems to me 
that you are still going the wrong way about this issue. What would this 
"secure" tag actually do? If you want it to compile python to javascript, I 
think there is no point in using web2py at all, as there are other projects 
for that. And that wouldn't make your code any more secure anyway, just 
different. Or do you expect it to include and trigger a javascript that 
hides the html source...?

Again, hiding something trivially from the user's view is *not* security 
and should never be considered as such. It takes seconds to get around this.

Some of the basics of web development security are:
- you cannot trust anything that comes from the user side, all data 
received should be validated
- you should not send anything to user side that you don't want the user to 
see.

If you really need to send such information as "*issues_created_by" 
"sysadmin" *trough the form, than it's a fact that users will see them. If 
you are worried that someone will try to change this and it shouldn't, than 
there are two things you can do:
- don't send this trough a form at all (why would you..?)
- validate the information before committing into the db and make sure it's 
still correct.

There are no shortcuts here, no magical "secure" tags that can make these 
requirements go away. You need to design you application accordingly.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the replies.

Actually we are implementing FB login for our app. For this we want to 
detect whether /user/login controller was a redirect from facebook (after 
authentication) or a a user noramlly opened /user/login in their browser.

Sometimes FB reidrects to /user/login#_=_ and sometimes to 
/user/login?code=

How can I differentiate b/w the two?

[dr_v]

Especially for posted values and such the source is less interesting.
Anything that is transmitted via http can be logged (and tricked!)
with tools like Charles or Fiddler anyway. This even holds for e.g.
flash based web apps except if you encrypt values before sending them.

Re: [web2py] Re: Rendering HTML & CSS & Python code The are Retrieved from the database

[Bruno Rocha]

when you do return render(...) it renders the python code into html text
markup.

the browser is the responsible for rendering this markup.

or you can try to output this as pdf using pyfpdf.

what are you trying to do?

Sry. I dont understand. now all forms update same image (image_id1)
can i send img_id (in view) to form (in controller)?
I also try this code, but that insert always image_id variable = last image 
id in database.
def jobs():
images=db().select(db.ref.id,db.ref.file)
for img in images:
form = SQLFORM(db.ref, img.id)  
 
if form.process().accepted:
response.flash = "Image uploaded"+str(form.vars)
else:
response.flash = form.vars.id

return dict(form=form, images=images)

[web2py] SQLFORM.grid, selectable and id

[Johann Spies]

When using the following grid:

query = ((db.akb_authors.id.belongs(ids))&
 (db.akb_authors_article_link.author == db.akb_authors.uuid)&
 (db.akb_authors_article_link.article == db.akb_articles.uuid)&
 (db.akb_journal.uuid == db.akb_articles.journal))
left = (db.akb_authors_article_link.on((db.akb_authors.uuid ==
db.akb_authors_article_link.author)&
 (db.akb_authors.id.belongs(ids))&
 (db.akb_authors_article_link.author == db.akb_authors.uuid)&
 (db.akb_authors_article_link.article == db.akb_articles.uuid)&
 (db.akb_journal.uuid == db.akb_articles.journal)))
fields = [db.akb_authors.id, db.akb_authors.surname,
db.akb_authors.firstname,
  db.akb_authors.name, db.akb_authors.birthdate,
db.akb_authors.gender,
  db.akb_authors.race, db.akb_authors.address,
db.akb_journal.title,
  db.akb_journal.subject ]
headers = {'akb_journal.title': 'Journal'}
form = SQLFORM.grid(query, fields=fields, maxtextlength = 100,
deletable = False,
editable = False,
details = False,
create = False,
headers = headers,
selectable = lambda ids: hanteer_verfyning(ids),
orderby = db.akb_authors.auth_id|db.akb_authors.id)

the grid use the id's of the akb_articles.  Is there an easy way to
convince it to use the id specified in [fields] in stead?

[web2py] Auth.user is still NULL after a successful login

[Sushant Taneja]

Hi,

Following is the snippet from my db.py global file:

db = DAL('google:datastore')

from gluon.tools import Auth
auth = Auth(db, hmac_key=Auth.get_or_create_key())

auth.settings.login_url = URL('default','index')
auth.settings.logged_url = URL('user','profile')
auth.settings.login_next = URL('user','profile')

auth.define_tables()


In my controller default/index controller I have used the following:

def index():

login_form = auth.login()
if login_form.process(session=None,formname='login').accepted:
pass
elif login_form.errors:
response.write(request.vars)
return dict()

to display the form I have used the SQLForm in HTML technique as mentioned 
in the web2py book

Whenever user enters the correct email and password. auth_event registers a 
login event with the description *User 1 Logged In*.
The next property redirects the URL to /user/profile but auth.user object 
is *None.*
*
*
Is there some auth setting that I am missing or something else is the 
reason of this ?

Thanks,
Sushant

[web2py] Can I change DAL encoding for strings?

[Alexei Vinidiktov]

Hello,

I'm considering using DAL in a desktop application written with wxPython.
The problem I've come across is that DAL queries accept and return utf-8
encoded strings. wxPython operates with Unicode strings and I have to
convert every string that I send to or get from DAL to
Python Unicode format. It is not very convenient.

Can anything be done about it? What would you do?

[web2py] logical/relationship url mapping

[rdodev]

Hello all,

I'm fairly knew to web2py and trying to find things out by myself as much 
as I can. However, I have not been able to find how to create 
logical/relationship URLs. Let's say I have a model named TopThing, which 
has a 1-to-many relationship with MiddleThing, which also has a one-to-many 
relationship with BottomThing. 
(TopThing->1:*->MiddleThing->1:*->BottomThing). So we'd like navigation to 
follow that same idea of 
(/AppName/TopThing/{_Id}/MiddleThing/{_Id}/BottomThing). Is it possible to 
have this in web2py? If so, would some one care to explain? Thx.

Re: [web2py] using form in same page?

[Martín Mulone]

The easy way is to add another controller "edit_image" and add a link to
this in each image.

(controller/default.py)

def edit_image():
 row_id = request.args[0]
 form = SQLFORM(db.ref, row_id)
 if form.process().accepted:
   response.flash = "Image uploaded"
 else:
response.flash = form.vars.id


(view)

{{for img in images:}}
   
 
{{=img}}
{{=img.id}}
{{=A('Edit', _href=URL('default', 'edit_image',
args=[img.id]))}}

{{pass}}{{pass}}

[web2py] Re: need help with unicode decoding/encoding upload file

[Wikus van de Merwe]

To convert a string to utf-8 you need to do two operations:
- decode the string to unicode (using the original file codec)
- encode the unicode string using utf-8 codec

This is what decoder.decoder function is doing but it is guessing the 
original codec.
You need to either provide the right codec for decoding (if you know it is 
always the
same) or guess it better (e.g. by catching exception and trying different 
codecs in order).

input_codec = "iso-8592-1"
output = text.decode(input_codec).encode("utf-8")

Re: [web2py] Auth.user is still NULL after a successful login

[Sushant Taneja]

Hi,

I passed the session=None since I was following example in the book.
I removed it from the process method and now I am using 

   login_form = auth.login()
if login_form.process(formname='login').accepted:
pass
elif login_form.errors:
response.write(request.vars)
return dict()

but now when I try to login, nothing happens. No event is recorded in 
auth_event and there is also no redirection.

auth.login() handles it's own form processing, and it uses the session when 
calling form.accepts (which adds a hidden _formkey field to the form, which 
must be present upon form submission). In your code, you do not return the 
form object to the view, which means your view cannot include the hidden 
_formkey field, which is therefore not submitted with the form. So, when 
the form is submitted, the form.accepts in auth.login() fails, which means 
the user object is never stored in session.auth.user -- hence, auth.user is 
None. The reason the login submission is successful is that your index() 
function then does its own processing of the login form, which is 
successful -- but your explicit call to login_form.process() does not do 
anything to set auth.user, so it is never set.

In short, you should not be doing your own processing of the login form -- 
let auth.login() handle that. And if you want to customize the form display 
in the view, you still have to return the form to the view so you can 
include the hidden _formkey and _formname fields in the form (you can use 
form.custom.end to do that).

[web2py] Re: logical/relationship url mapping

[Anthony]

Check out the RESTful web services 
functionality: 
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/10#Restful-Web-Services, 
in 
particular, 
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/10#parse_as_rest-(experimental).

You could also handle this specific case in a controller action, with all 
the elements of your URL in request.args:

In default.py:

def TopThing():
rows = db((db.TopThing.id == db.MiddleThing.TopThing_id) &
  (db.MiddleThing.id == db.BottomThing.MiddleThing_id) &
  (db.TopThing.id == request.args(0)) &
  (db.MiddleThing.id = request.args(2))).select()
return dict(rows=rows)

I'm not sure you can when the request is first made, as the server only 
receives a request for /user/login, even if FB redirects to 
/user/login#_=_. After the redirect, you could use Javascript on the client 
side to see if there is a hash in the URL (e.g., using 
window.location.hash), and then possibly send an Ajax request to get the 
appropriate data in either case.

Making your code invisible would not prevent hackers from submitting 
invalid values. The reason is that hackers can generate their own post 
requests without using your web page at all -- they can use their own 
client to send arbitrary post requests to your server (you can do it in 
Python using urllib or urllib2). The way to prevent hacked form submissions 
is to do server side validation, including some form of cross-site request 
forgery protection (which web2py achieves by including a unique formkey in 
each form that is also stored in the user's session on the server for 
comparison). Of course, it also helps to do everything over SSL if you want 
to make sure third parties cannot observe/modify the communication.

Login to your bank account and try viewing the page source -- you will 
likely see all the HTML code for form submissions, etc. Even banks are 
exposing page source code with no worries, as you cannot rely on obscuring 
page code for protection. Proper protection requires server side validation 
(and of course making sure you don't send anything to the client that the 
user shouldn't be allowed to see).

The source code isn't being hidden in the code above, it just isn't present 
in the main page. Instead, the code that generates the displayed page is in 
the linked Javascript file (which the user can easily view/download) and 
the iframe (for which you can also easily view the source code). You can 
make it more difficult for non-technical users to casually view your page 
code, but you cannot hide your code from hackers (even compiled Flash and 
Silverlight code can be decompiled).

Again, standard browsers could build in some kind of "hide the source code" 
functionality, but that wouldn't prevent a hacker from requesting a page 
from your site via some other means and viewing the source. Once you send 
your source code over the wire, you don't know what kind of client will be 
viewing it, so you cannot trust that client to keep it hidden.

[web2py] Ways to check auth conditions (aside from decorating a whole function)

[monotasker]

In digging through the discussions here I've come across two auth methods 
that allow for checking a user's authorization: 

auth.is_logged_in()

and 

auth.has_permission()

These are really useful, but aren't documented in the web2py book (They're 
used a couple of times in other recipes, but they're never explained or 
highlighted.) So I'm wondering (a) whether these could be highlighted in 
the authorization chapter; and (b) whether there are other similar auth 
methods. Does, for example, auth.is_member(auth.user_id) exist to check for 
group membership?

Don't get me wrong, the decorators are great. But sometimes I need 
something more fine-grained for (e.g.) controlling visibility of elements 
in a view on a per-role basis. 

Thanks,

Ian

I think pretty everithing can be find in this chapter if you read it

Your is_member =

Re: [web2py] Re: Latest version unable to connect to DB

[Bruce Wade]

Why are you doing this: auth=Auth(globals(),db) ? globals will not even be
processed it will only look at the first param and set it to db if the db
(second param) doesn't exist.
auth = Auth(db) is how it should be

Also I think this is where your problem is:
auth.settings.table_user = auth_table # no idea what this line do...

To customize the auth table:

db.define_table(
   auth.settings.table_user_name,
   # fields
)

custom_auth_table = db[auth.settings.table_user_name]
# add validations

auth.settings.table_user = custom_auth_table

Ah . . . you're right. Sorry for not reading more carefully. I think some

great.

Re: [web2py] Re: Latest version unable to connect to DB

[Bruce Wade]

Finally you are missing some required fields in your new auth table:

Look at: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/9#Customizing-Auth to
see the required fields.

Thanks for your help.

I am developping this app since pretty old version of web2py, I wrote that
2 years ago, so...

I will try the thing you mention and I report back...

[web2py] Upgrading web2py in Linux

[horridohobbyist]

I'm currently running Version 1.99.2 on my Ubuntu Linux server. Is there an 
easy way to upgrade to the latest version (1.99.7)?

My web2py installation says "Checking for upgrades...", but it never 
finishes checking! I presume that if it were to finish checking, there 
would be a way to upgrade automatically?

Thanks.

Re: [web2py] Upgrading web2py in Linux

[Richard Vézina]

I am strongly suggest to you to not updating that way. Or if you do so,
backup your web2py folder before.

What I usually do:

download latest source from download page
backup my "staging"/"prod" web2py installation
remove the old installation : cd /home/www-data/ && rm -Rf web2py/
Uncompress the new web2py zip in the folder /home/www-data/
Set permission : sudo chown -R www-data.www-data web2py/
Copy my app in : web2py/applications/my app
Also set permission is required here.

If you are only talking about the dev environnement, I just let the old
web2py in a folder named with the version and add an other folder with the
new version beside and unpack web2py new version there and bring my app in
the new installation.

You don't have to bother with permission since you are only use it for
developpement.

Richard

Re: [web2py] Upgrading web2py in Linux

[Bruce Wade]

I do something similar but much much more efficient.

My project is under git version control. When upgraded I create a new
branch, unpack the new version of the code, test, if it didn't break
anything I then switch to the old branch and merge the new branch into it.
This prevents you from have to change all the configurations and do crazy
backup's etc... You should use source control for how it was meant to be
used.

[web2py] Re: Auth.user is still NULL after a successful login

[Sushant Taneja]

I tried customizing the form. I have to set the id of the form element to 
login.
To achieve the above I used the following statement in controller:

login_form = auth.login()

# Configure form properties
login_form.attributes['_id']='login'

But it's not working. The generated form does not contain any id attribute.
Is there another way to do it ?

Thanks,
Sushant

[web2py] Re: Can I change DAL encoding for strings?

[Wikus van de Merwe]

You could inherit from DAL and overwrite the methods with wrappers that do 
the decoding/encoding where needed.
I guess typically only insert, update, select and the constructor have to 
be wrapped.

There is also the "db_codec" keyword argument for DAL constructor defaulted 
to "utf-8". But I'm guessing this only
affects encoding on database level, not the queries.

Re: [web2py] Upgrading web2py in Linux

[Richard Vézina]

Use Fabric for about the samething, but since Horrido not to use version
control I leave thing basic.

That should work. Can you show the view code? Also, note you can just do:

login_form['_id'] = 'login'

[web2py] add classes to individual menu items

[monotasker]

I want each of my app menu items to have a distinct class to ease theming 
(I'm using background images to provide icons in place of text). It looks 
like the MENU helper doesn't allow _class arguments in the items in 
response.menu. So I can just modify the MENU helper, but am I missing some 
way of doing this in the existing api?

I wonder, by the way, whether it would be a good idea to extend the MENU 
interface to allow passing _class and/or _id arguments like this:

(T('my item'), True, URL('default', 'index'), [],* _class = 'my_item_class'*, 
*id = 'my_item_id'*),

Hi,

I tried both but none seems to be working. Here's my view code:

Forgot Password?
{{=login_form.custom.submit}}

Please suggest.

 auth.login() handles it's own form processing, and it uses the session 
 when calling form.accepts (which adds a hidden _formkey field to the form, 
 which must be present upon form submission). In your code, you do not 
 return the form object to the view, which means your view cannot include 
 the hidden _formkey field, which is therefore not submitted with the form. 
 So, when the form is submitted, the form.accepts in auth.login() fails, 
 which means the user object is never stored in session.auth.user -- hence, 
 auth.user is None. The reason the login submission is successful is that 
 your index() function then does its own processing of the login form, 
 which 
 is successful -- but your explicit call to login_form.process() does not 
 do 
 anything to set auth.user, so it is never set.

 In short, you should not be doing your own processing of the login form 
 -- let auth.login() handle that. And if you want to customize the form 
 display in the view, you still have to return the form to the view so you 
 can include the hidden _formkey and _formname fields in the form (you can 
 use form.custom.end to do that).

[web2py] auth=Auth(globals(),db)

[Richard]

Hello,

I notice that in the book auth table customisation explication has 
changed...

I would like to know if this still good :

auth=Auth(globals(),db)
crud=Crud(globals(),db) 

Since in the book it is now just :

auth = Auth(db)

Thank you.

Richard

The above will still work, but globals() will simply be ignored, as it is 
no longer required (instead, the Auth and Crud classes now use the 
"current" object to access the relevant global environment objects).

[web2py] Re: Auth.user is still NULL after a successful login

[Anthony]

What's not working? When you view the HTML code of the rendered page in the 
browser, is the id not there, or is it just that some client-side CSS or JS 
isn't working as expected? If the latter, the problem could be that you 
have put the form beginning and ending code inside the  tags 
rather than outside, where they belong. Should be:

{{=login_form.custom.begin}} 

[snip]

{{=login_form.custom.end}}

Yes, in fact, the third item in the tuple can be any HTML helper (which 
could include nested helpers), and the MENU helper will simply render that 
helper rather than creating its own  tag.

An alternative is to use a SPAN for the first item in the tuple and add the 
class to the span:

(SPAN(T('my item'), _class='my_item_class'), True, URL('default', 'index'))

Again, that first item can be any HTML helper.

I don't think any of this is documented in the book.

 to display the form I have used the SQLForm in HTML technique as

 Whenever user enters the correct email and password. auth_event 
 registers a login event with the description *User 1 Logged In*.
 The next property redirects the URL to /user/profile but auth.user

[web2py] 1.99.4 login showing password validation messages - what to do?

[Cliff]

My login is pretty much vanilla Web2py.  No changes to default.py
users.

In the model I have this:

comment = ''
if request.controller=='auth_user':
comment = SPAN('Must be at least 12 characters in length',
   _style='color:orange;'
  )
db.define_table(
auth.settings.table_user_name,
Field('first_name', length=128, default=''),
Field('middle_name', length=128, default=''),
Field('last_name', length=128, default=''),
Field('generation', length=128, default=''),
Field('email', length=128, default='', unique=True,
 comment=email_comment), # required
Field('password', 'password', length=128,# required
  readable=False, label='Password',
  comment=comment),
 ),
#  blah blah  more details + required fields
)

custom_auth_table.password.requires = [
IS_STRONG(min=12, max=128, upper=None, lower=None,
 number=None, special=None,), CRYPT()
]

If I set error_message to an empty string or None in the model,
attempting to log in with password 'foo' causes the error banner
to appear with "None" as the caption.  If I don't set error_message
I get the banner with the error message from IS_STRONG().

What am I doing wrong?  What can I do about this?

Re: [web2py] 1.99.4 login showing password validation messages - what to do?

[Bruce Wade]

error_message = '' and error_message = None are treated as the samething.

Try:
error_message = '  '

Haven't tried but that may give you a black message like you want.

[web2py] Re: custom css

[frasse]

Yes the example app that comes with web2py show correctly on
Firefox 10 + Windows.
I greed that I am missing some classes from base.css. but I can not
found what .

Here is what I did.

I copy .flash .error to my css file (the_look.css).
It is the copy code:
-
div.flash {

min-width: 280px;

cursor: pointer;
background: #000;
border: 2px solid #fff;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
z-index: 2;
}
div.error {
background-color: red;
color: white;
padding: 3px;
}

Re: [web2py] Re: No models vs. conditional models -- what's the advantage?

[Pepe Araya]

With all the post arguing about no models... I'm asking myself: why web2py 
have "models" folder if it isn't the best way to do the work? only for 
background compatibility? 

what's the reason to load the models every time you make a request? is 
because the automatic migrations? 

are only questions, and why not made a huge change and optimization in a 
brand new version of web2py?

best regards,

This app uses lots of modules like pymongo, Image, stripogram, dateutil, 
pygeoip,tornado, tornadio, pycurl
I've manage to easy_install all them in pypy, but I couldn't install 
pycurl, so I've commented it for the ab testing

I've also tried with the welcome app and the results were similar: pypy was 
2.5x slower


Any other tests are truly appreciated

[web2py] Re: 1.99.4 login showing password validation messages - what to do?

[Cliff]

Thanks, Bruce.

Tried that approach, but it still gave me the error div on the form,
though there was no message.

If the password is long enough, I get the standard login failed
message in flash.

If the password is too short, login gives me the red error banner,
even if it's blank.

[web2py] Re: 1.99.4 login showing password validation messages - what to do?

[Cliff]

This works.

custom_auth_table.password.requires = CRYPT()
if request.args(0) != 'login':
    custom_auth_table.password.requires = [
        IS_STRONG(min=12, max=128, upper=None, lower=None,
                 number=None, special=None, error_message=' '),
CRYPT()
    ]

Could also be handled in default.py.

[web2py] subdomain routes for websites

[Carlos]

Hi,

My previous related post: 
 https://groups.google.com/d/topic/web2py/TxACULvgxik/discussion

Following is my url path structure to access websites for multiple 
Organizations (ORG)

http:// domain.com / app / web / site / ORG / args ? vars

I can successfully access the website for DEMO ORG as:

http:// domain.com / app / web / site / DEMO / args ? vars

And I am using the following BASE routes dict:

default_application = 'app'
default_controller = 'web'
default_function = 'site'

So I can now use short urls:

http:// domain.com / site / DEMO / args ? vars

But now I require to access it via subdomain (removing 'site' function and 
ORG first arg, but being able to keep using args and vars):

http:// DEMO.domain.com / args ? vars

Internally rewriting to:  http:// domain.com / app / web / site / DEMO / 
args ? vars

Is there any way I can accomplish this with routes?.

Thanks,

   Carlos

Re: [web2py] Re: No models vs. conditional models -- what's the advantage?

[Richard Vézina]

There is discussion about optimization of web2py.

Basically, MVC is correct approach, but the way web2py implement it seems
to make scalling problematic.

Web2py works pretty well for a couples of tables let says 20 to 50 tables,
but behind that the models files become long and since they have to be read
each time a single function from a controller is trigger your app start to
be less responsive with the amount of table or the number of lines you have
in the files you have in models folder.

The idea of Bruno (and others don't know where it comes from first), is to
put the definition into modules folder that is read only once at boot time
when you start web2py. But it comes with a lot of drawback : appadmin no
longer work out of the box, you have to know programming classes and import
your models where you need them in your controller, etc.

Bruno (and others) says that this approach allow to scale (raise the number
of db models without compromise the responsiveness of your app), so it a
great news.

There is others solutions to allow scalling that are in developpement
principally : model_map

There is already submodel, but it is consider not DRY.

The idea behind the model less alternative is to keep the simplicity of
web2py as allowing bigger app to run smoothly. Also, the idea is to pave
the way to scaling, because the models less approach is only one solution a
great programmer could take to allow it app to scale and before there is 50
differents solutions for scalling (not documented for most of them) it is
better to propose a path to follow for scalling.

[web2py] Re: No models vs. conditional models -- what's the advantage?

[Cliff]

With models, grid and smartgrid you can prototype an application very
quickly and know that the database works the way it should.

That's the main attraction of these three things, at least for me.

Re: [web2py] Re: 1.99.4 login showing password validation messages - what to do?

[Richard Vézina]

Are you sure min form IS_STRONG is apply?

It may be override by the empty CRYPT()??

CRYPT has min_length that could be used for that and if you want to use the
default of auth here you go :

CRYPT(min_length=auth.settings.password_min_length,
  error_message=T('too short'))

[web2py] web2pyslice auth error

[szimszon]

Hi!

I was on the page and I tried to update a slice but got the 
http://www.web2pyslices.com/admin/default/ticket/init/80.99.230.108.2012-03-12.16-43-41.f19c427c-46c8-4120-a189-29f2707ad6d7
 
ticket :(

No I suddenly logged out and if I try to log in via google I got the google 
page with access request and I push OK then I got a facebook auth page :(

[web2py] Re: 1.99.4 login showing password validation messages - what to do?

[Cliff]

Richard, good question.

Yes, it is working the way I want it to.

On login, if I enter an invalid email or invalid password, I get the
invalid login message.  I don't get any messages from either
validator.

Using my hand-built form for changing passwords, if I enter a password
that is too short I get the right error message.  If the confirming
password doesn't match I get the correct message also.

All this complication comes from building a multi-tenant application,
where some users will be administering other users from the same
tenant.

[web2py] Re: custom css

[monotasker]

Regarding the flash message moving to the side, I believe that the 
positioning of the flash div is normally done relative to the auth_navbar 
div. (i.e., if I set left:0 for .flash in base.css the flash div is aligned 
with the auth_navbar's left-hand margin. So if you have removed auth_navbar 
(or moved it on the page) that will move the flash div. You'll just have to 
change the .flash  css class to compensate.

As for the colour not changing in the .error div, could this be because 
you're using the name "red" instead of a hex code? or is it a specificity 
issue, so that another more specific style rule is overriding your theme 
change? If you change the basic page layout that can mess with style 
inheritance until you adjust the style rules. I would inspect the error div 
using Firebug or Chrome dev tools. It will tell you what style rules are 
being recognized and which ones are being overridden.
