[web2py] Web2py - internet explorer - admin login fails - http://127.0.0.1:8000/....

[wdtatenh]

attempting to login to web2py admin using IE - login fails.  - works fine 
on Mozilla Firefox

http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/default/index?send=/default/design/welcome

Security settings for intranet are set low in IE...

I also can't login as a user (parts of my website require user login) on my 
deployed site using I.E.  I'm wondering if there is a setting in I.E.??? 
Again Firefox works fine.

Would appreciate any insights and I apologize in advance if this is a 
stupid question unrelated to web2py but the fact that everything works fine 
in Firefox but not I.E. v.9 is infuriating?

Thanks much in advance.

[web2py] using db, auth and request objects in modules

[Cornelius Kölbel]

Hi,
I think I am missing some of the major concepts of web2py.

By some_magic^TM is got some object like "db", "request" and "auth"
available in all my controllers.
I think these are setup in db.py.
Anyway, still strange for me.

What would I need to do, when I want to make these available in some
lib/modules?
At the moment I always pass db and request as parameters.
But as these modules are only used with my web2py project, I want to get
rid of passing these parameters.

Thanks a lot and kind regards
Cornelius

[web2py] Re: using db, auth and request objects in modules

[Anthony]

Models, controllers, and views are executed in an environment that includes 
all the web2py API objects, 
including request, response, session, etc. The objects added to the 
environment by the models are also available in the controllers and views 
(which are executed after the models) -- so if you define db and auth in 
the models, they will be available in the controllers and views. The 
objects created in the controller are not generally available in the views, 
but the items returned in a dict by a controller action are available in 
the views. See http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/4#Workflow.

If you want these objects available in modules, you can use the currentobject, 
or pass them as arguments, as you have been doing. For more about 
using current, see 
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/4#Accessing-the-API-from-Python-modules
.

The layout also include a  section, does this mean that in my custom 
view I shouldn't have another  section such that I should just write 
all the custom html content without  tags?

Instead, you have a couple options. First, you could add the files to

Another thought, can I add page-specific files for the view in the 
corresponding controller action, e.g.

def myaction():
   response.files.append(URL('static','css/page_specific_css_1.css'))
   response.files.append(URL('static','css/page_specific_css_2.css'))
   
   # rest of the action
   ...

Would this be enough? If so, how does this compare with the two options 
you've proposed below?

Regarding my other question about Recaptcha support, how should I embed and 
customize it in my custom view? Thanks very much!

Right, you don't need a body tag in the view either. In layout.html, there 
should be an {{include}} -- that gets replaced with the entire contents of 
the view that extends the layout. See the /views/default/index.html view of 
the "welcome" app for an example.

Yes, that's fine too. Just a matter of preference. Since the CSS relates to 
the presentation, some would argue references to it belongs in the views.

I don't use reCAPTCHA, so don't have any special insights. Have you read

Looks like it shouldn't be too difficult to add to a form.

[web2py] Re: Keeping track of CKEditor uploads in Web2py

[Niphlod]

Using session is the simplest way to go before "opening" the editform 
of the post you'd have to (clear and) save in session some identifier of 
the post that is going to be edited and use that to "tag" every row of the 
uploads.

I think I know what the problem was. languages may be country specific. The 
olf language detection needs to get the country code right. The new one 
knows better and pick the correct default language even if there is not one 
for the specific country code.

Re: [web2py] Re: using db, auth and request objects in modules

Note, if you're going to add your own objects to current, you might want to 
do so in a special namespace, such as current.app. That way, if web2py 
later adds some of its own additional objects to current, you don't have to 
worry about the names conflicting with your custom objects.

Cool. But is there way to configure the  tag of a specific view page

Re: [web2py] Web2py using json

[vinicius...@gmail.com]

Let's break the scenario in 2 parts.

1) How will you send it to web2py?

a) As a query string via HTTP GET encapsulated in only one param
b) As several params, using a standard query string
c) Via HTTP POST
d) Other (tell us):


2) The web2py part is easy because it's Python, anyway. Just use json 
Python module: http://docs.python.org/library/json.html

[web2py] Looking for multi-select widget that uses two text boxes

[MichaelF]

I'm aware of the multiple and checkbox widgets. I'm looking for a widget 
whose name I don't know. It consists of two side-by-side boxes, each box 
can contain a list of items, and usually starts off with all the items in 
the left-hand box. Between the two boxes are two arrows, usually one on top 
of the other, one pointing to the right, one to the left. The left-hand box 
contains those items not 'chosen'; the right-hand box contains those 
chosen. To 'choose' items (that is, to move an item from the left-hand box 
to the right-hand box) one selects the item(s) (ctrl-click, shift-click, 
etc.) in the left-hand box, then presses the right-pointing arrow. The 
selected items move from the left-hand box to the right-hand box. To 
'un-choose' items one selects items in the right-hand box, then presses the 
left-pointing arrow.

1. What is this widget usually called?

2. Does web2py have such a widget?

and in the view:

{{body_class = 'my_css_class'}}
{{extend 'layout.html'}} 

You could also do it with a block.

Anthony

[web2py] Re: Looking for multi-select widget that uses two text boxes

[Anthony]

Not sure what that widget is usually called, but web2py does not come with 
one. Note, that kind of widget would be handled client-side via Javascript 
(e.g., http://quasipartikel.at/multiselect_next/). Once you find a 
Javascript widget you like, it shouldn't be too difficult to get it to work

[web2py] Re: Web2py hanging with no errors in the log

[howesc]

i don't know your setup, so i can't say where to look for the web2py logs, 
but i would recommend increasing the log level in logging.conf, and adding 
some extra debug or info log statements to see if something is getting 
stuck along the way in your code.

[web2py] Re: paymentech: post request

[howesc]

i've never used HTTP lib before, and i found "This module defines classes 
which implement the client side of the HTTP and HTTPS protocols. It is 
normally not used directly — the module 
urllibuses it to 
handle URLs that use HTTP and HTTPS." here 
http://docs.python.org/library/httplib.html

perhaps give urllib or urllib2 a try - i use those all the time with great 
success!

[web2py] Re: using db, auth and request objects in modules

[Cliff Kachinske]

You can also create your own storage object.

import storage as st
mystore = st.Storage
mystore.request = request


t

read gluon/storage.py for more information.  Lots of neat functions there.

[web2py] web2py DAL connection failing in Apache?

Hi,
I'm running web2py from an Apache server (in production), and it

[web2py] Re: Working with custom form

[Chris]

Now I have the custom page (e.g. register) appears correctly, however, when 
I submit the form nothing happens - the form just clears itself with no 
error msg or anything.

My 'register' action in controller is:

def register():
return dict(form=auth.register())

My 'layout.html' is as follows:




  
  {{=response.title or request.application}}
  

  
  
  
  

  
  

  
  {{
response.files.append(URL('static','css/bootstrap.min.css'))
response.files.append(URL('static','css/bootstrap-responsive.min.css')) 
  }}

  {{include 'web2py_ajax.html'}}



  {{include}}
  {{if response.google_analytics_id:}} var 
_gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 
'{{=response.google_analytics_id}}']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); 
(function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 
'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == 
document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + 
'.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = 
document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, 
s); })();  {{pass}}



And my 'register.html' view is:

{{body_class = 'own'}}
{{
response.files.append(URL('static', 'css/jquery.h5form-2.4.1.css'))
response.files.append(URL('static', 'css/own.css')) 
}}
{{extend 'layout.html'}}

As advised by people earlier, in the form above, I match the 'name'

[web2py] sending emails from a google account

[Janath]

Hi,

I have very limited emails in configuring email servers.

I try to used my gmail account to send emails from web2py. 

I used the following settings with my specific information (as mentioned in 
the web2py book):

mail = auth.settings.mailer
mail.settings.server = 'smtp.gmail.com:465'
mail.settings.sender = 'jana...@gmail.com'
mail.settings.login = 'jana...@gmail.com:*mypassword*'
mail.settings.server = 'logging'


It says mail sent, but I couldnt see it in my account.

Is this something doable... If this can be configured in a simple way, I 
would appreciate some help.

Thank you 

[web2py] Re: sending emails from a google account

[Niphlod]

mail.settings.server = 'logging' just writes if the mail is sent on the 
console, and it's only for debugging purposes.

You should remove that line and leave only mail.settings.server='
smtp.gmail.com:465' to actually send any email.

[web2py] problem with custom primarykey

[Vincenzo Ampolo]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up primary keys for the table 'ratings' described as :

db.define_table('users',
Field('name'),
Field('email'),
Field('imdb_id', 'integer')
)

db.define_table('movies',
Field('imdb_id', 'integer')
)

db.define_table('ratings',
Field('iuser', db.users, requires =
IS_IN_DB(db,'users.id',db.users._format)),
Field('imovie', db.movies, requires =
IS_IN_DB(db,'movies.id',db.movies._format)),
Field('rating', 'double'),
primarykey=['iuser', 'imovie'],
)

Reading the web2py book I saw:
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/6#Legacy-databases-and-keyed-tables

Referenceing fields must use the reference tablename.fieldname format.

But what does it mean? I tried many combinations like :
['iuser.id', 'imovie.id']
['users', 'movies']
['users.id', 'movies.id']

But none of them work. I end up with two errors: The first one states
that i should use fields defined in the ratings table and the second one
is that the given string cannot be splitted at the dot.

What am i doing wrong?

[web2py] Re: Working with custom form

[Anthony]

As was mentioned earlier, if you're going to create a custom form like 
that, in place of , you need to include {{=form.custom.end}}. The 
reason is that web2py forms include two hidden fields, _formname and 
_formkey, and form.custom.end will add those hidden fields. They are used 
to protect against double form submission and CSRF attacks. See 
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/7#Hidden-fields and 
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/7#Custom-forms.

[web2py] Ajax div refresh on form submission

[Andrew Evans]

Hello I have two functions one for querying the data base and one for
submitting data. I also have one view for the form and one load file for
the database query I then LOAD the load file into index view

{{extend "template.html"}}



 {{=LOAD('default', 'ajax_example.load', ajax=True)}}





My Form controller

@auth.requires_login()
def myform():
form = SQLFORM(db.music2)
if form.accepts(request.vars):
   response.flash='Thanks for filling the form'
   #"%s",[],"song_list" is a reference to a div that gets called and
updated
   return XML('ajax("%s",[],"song_list");' % URL('default',
'ajax_example.load'))
elif form.errors:
response.flash='Fill the form correctly'
else:
response.flash='Please, fill the form'

return dict(form=form)

Ok I guess my problem is how can I update song_list with out a page refresh
keep in mind the form is on a separate page then the query

How can I get return XML('ajax("%s",[],"song_list");' % URL('default',
'ajax_example.load')) to display the form again with a response.flash
message and then update the div on the separate page in real time?

Any ideas

*cheers :-)

[web2py] Re: Ajax div refresh on form submission

[Andrew Evans]

Ok my approach was a bit off. I got the div to update on form submission.
But how to separate the form view from the same page as the view to display
updates?

 which I think has to do with this

return XML('ajax("%s",[],"#song_list");' % URL('default',
'ajax_example.load'))

Any ideas

[web2py] Re: Getting auth.settings.register_next to work...

[Anthony]

For those interested, in trunk, auth.navbar() now takes a referrer_actions 
argument. If you do:

auth.navbar(referrer_actions=None)

It will no longer add referrer URLs to the query strings of any of the 
navbar links, so any auth.settings._next settings will take 
precedence in that case. If you want referrer URLs for some but not all of 
the actions, you can add them to a list:

auth.navbar(referrer_actions=['login', 'profile'])

Note, by default, all links (except logout) still get referrer URLs in the 
query string, which is unchanged from the original behavior -- so if you 
want the original behavior, you don't have to do anything different (i.e., 
this is backward compatible).

The internet is covered with too many meaningless share buttons already. It

Surely the whole point of the 'welcome' application is to be a scaffolding
to be modified as required? It is much easier for someone new to web2py to
work out how to remove it from their new app than to work out how to add
it if it isn't there.
