[web2py] Re: Back link contains unexpected value

[Niphlod]

Don't know if its related, but NEVER use fixed strings as href urls  
your '../whatever/whatever' can get really messy soon (probably it just has 
^_^) real quick. Use always URL() to generate urls. If this doesn't fix it, 
please pack a minimal app to reproduce the error...

I guess you could at least see the error output if you opened a cmd (start 
and type cmd in the command text field) and run the executable file from 
the console. There are some  restrictions you could also check such as the 
built-in firewall, anti-virus, UAC and the run as administrator feature

Thanks. Much shorter than PyConUS or PyConAr talks, but still worth seeing.

Nice talk! Worth watching even for those who are already familiar with

It was interesting to hear your opinion about not so big developers

Thanks and regards from Moldova (which is in Europe, btw :)

[web2py] Clarification on variables in views

[shapovalovdenis]

Hi!

This is somewhat a continuation of Conditional presence of a variable in 
view  and How 
do Global Variables 
Work?

So, what is recommended way of checking if var is defined and passed to a 
view? 
i.e. avoiding errors
 name 'foo' is not defined

I see at least 3 ways, one is using 'try ... except' in a view:

{{block content_block}} 
{{try:}} 
{{=message or ""}} 
{{except:}} Message not defined! 
{{pass}} 
{{end}}

other, using "if":
{{block content_block}} 
{{if 'message' in globals():}}
{{=message or ""}} 
{{pass}}
{{end}} 

and also we can use globals().get():
{{=globals().get('message', False)}}
which will return False if message was not returned with dict in controller.

Something like this is used in default layout along with "or" that simply 
checks if var is not empty.

And what if I have a lot of variables to return from controller?
Then returning locals seems to be simpler and cleaner way (at least in 
terms of syntax), but on the other hand I really like the idea of passing 
only selected variables (that will be used) to the view, not all I have in 
controller. 
Probably somebody can point out to other security issues with returning 
locals to all views?

Here is how problem was solved:

Don't click on web2py.exe from user desktop
hit windows-logo/X keys 
choose "Run" from menu option
choose "Run as admistrator"
Firewall asks: "do you want to let web2py past firewall?" select, "yes"

This is better because you don't have to deal with the language files:

# process passes the kwarg to form.validate, so form.validate(message_...) 
is also valid.
form.process(message_onfailure = T("Wait a minute! This bird wouldn't voom 
if you put four million volts through it!"))

This syntax is supported by FORM and SQLFORM, and CRUD methods. For 
.smartgrid and .grid, I think you have to use the formargs kwarg (a 
dictionary like {"message_...": }

[web2py] New to auth.wiki - format text as address block with markmin

[Jim S]

Just started playing with auth.wiki today and am creating some pages.  I 
want to force line breaks (new line) in some of my text but can't seem to 
find the way to make it work.

to force a new line I've tried:

\n\n
[[newline]]


and non of these work, they just display on the page along with the other 
text.  What am I missing?

BTW. I think this is an example of why CRUD should not be deprecated. It 
could be easily modified to support something like

crud = CRUD(db)
crud.messages.on_failure = ...

[web2py] Re: Clarification on variables in views

[villas]

It seems that you already know how to check whether variables exist,  so 
you have already answered the question.

However,  I think the entire premise of the question seems strange.  If you 
are the developer you should know what variables you are going to be using 
in the view?  So, just make sure they always exist so you don't have to 
mess up your view with all those tests.

Maybe if you doing something unusal it is better to state the use case?

[web2py] Re: Clarification on variables in views

[shapovalovdenis]

thanks for reply.

Yes, I've showed 3 ways of checking if var was previously defined, but the 
question was about preferred way of doing that in Web2Py, also I want to 
add 'not empty' to this check.

> If you are the developer you should know what variables you are going to

It may happen that views are written by other people, etc, isn't it better 
to introduce as much independence as possible?

Here is my case, but I guess there may be other similar. 

I keep content for my static pages in db. It is broken in parts like 
footer_block, header_block, content_block, etc. 
And I use blocks in views, so I can fill parts of view with content from 
db, or leave them with default content from extended view (i.e. my version 
of layout.html) with {{super}}. Also, some part of page can empty in db. 

So, I thought that it would be a good idea to return only non-empty parts 
to the view, and in case when some part is empty in db, it will not be 
passed to the view, and content from extended layout will be used.

Does it make sense?

You mean you want markmin to add  tags to the output? Then you'll have 
to pump those lower case letters

>>> m = MARKMIN("ONE [[NEWLINE]] TWO [[NEWLINE]] THREE")

ONE  TWO  THREE
>>> m = MARKMIN("ONE [[newline]] TWO [[newline]] THREE")

[web2py] Re: Clarification on variables in views

[villas]

It seems like you are doing some complex things with the views.  That is 
fine,  but personally I find this:

1. In MVC it is more recommended to collect and prepare all your data in 
the controller and then pass all that to the view when it is ready.
2. In that way you can make sure that all the variables exist.
3. If someone else is writing a view,  you can still inform them all the 
variables which are available. You might develop your own conventions for 
that.

If your method of working does not allow that workflow,  you can still do 
what you are doing,  but I don't think there is a 'recommended' way.  The 
methods of checking whether variables exist is really a python question and 
not one specific to web2py.  You already know some methods to do that.

By 'exposing' the variables,  yes,  I meant for example {{=myvar}}.  I mean 
you can pass locals() to the view,  but you do not need to expose them all 
to the public.

[web2py] Re: Clarification on variables in views

[shapovalovdenis]

villas, I agree with you on 1-3. Probably I over-complicated the workflow 
at some point.

Still, what approach do you think of, when some parts (vars) returned from 
controller (and db) have empty values and then we need to keep extended's 
layout values in that places (i.e. {{super}})?

Processing web page templates doesn't always means substituting all the 
placeholders with variables from db, sometimes it needs to be adaptive to 
the data, right?

[web2py] Re: New to auth.wiki - format text as address block with markmin

[Jim S]

I don't think I was clear enough with my description.

I'm using the default auth.wiki as follows in the default controller:

def index():
return auth.wiki()

Then, in one of the pages I created using the wiki 'create page' I'm trying 
to get a carriage return displayed.  I've tried all the think listed above, 
but can't get my address to format correctly.

I want:

John Doe
123 N Main St.
Anytown, WI  53888

When auth.wiki renders it on the page it shows up as:

John Doe 123 N Main St. Anytown, WI  53888

I can't get it to force a carriage return or new line.

I'm not running any python controller code to do anything.

-Jim

Not really a web2py thing. Check the liks below.

CSS3 font-face (general usage):

Webfont generator (for the font you downloaded):

[web2py] FPDF add font not working

[peibol]

Hi there:

I'ts supposed we can add fonts from whatever the folder we want to FPDF. 
For example, in the static/fonts folder that I've created for this purpose:

def numbers():
class MyFPDF(FPDF, HTMLMixin):
pass
pdf=MyFPDF()
pdf.add_page()
pdf.add_font('DejaVu', '', URL('static','fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf', 
scheme=True, host=True), uni=True)
pdf.set_font('DejaVuSans','B',12)
pdf.cell(40,100,"Hello")
 response.headers['Content-Type']='application/pdf'
return pdf.output(dest='S') 

But I'm getting 
 TTF Font file not found: 
http://127.0.0.1:8083/myeducenter/static/fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf

And if I paste that URL in the browser I get the file...

Cheers
Pablo

Try adding this to a wiki document. I tested this with trunk but should 
work in any town (make sure your render engine is markmin, the default).

Same result, no newlines were inserted.  It all appears as one long line.

It seems that .add_font takes an o.s. path as argument. See

The other approach would be to return a value of None (or other "falsey" 
value) for the variable in question rather than excluding the value 
altogether. You'll still need a conditional in the view, but you won't have 
to check whether the variable exists at all.

I don't think we need CRUD just for that. We should allow something like 
that for regular forms and the grid as well.

Odd, It works fine with the mercurial trunk code. what is your version of 
web2py?

Do you want to force line breaks (separating the html output with ) 
or just add newline characters to the html. For this last option, I don't 
think that markmin supports it, unless you use a custom render function.

[web2py] Re: Back link contains unexpected value

[Anthony]

The grid creates the back button links based on the URL of the grid action 
itself, but it stores the referrer URL in 
session._web2py_grid_referrer_web2py_grid (if you use a custom formname for 
the grid, that last "web2py_grid" is replaced with the formname). So, in 
your grid action, before creating the grid, you could do:

session._web2py_grid_referrer_web2py_grid = [some alternate URL]
grid = SQLFORM.grid(...)
