Re: [web2py] Re: how to create pdf report in web2py???

[Alex]

you can find basic information here:
https://www.reportbro.com/docs/installation

client side you only have to initialize the plugin. For server integration 
with web2py there is an example implementation as well:

 The designer to create report templates is a javascript plugin which 
 can easily be integrated in a web application. Server-side we developed a 
 python package - which you can either download or install via pip - to 
 create the pdf (or xlsx) file with a given report template and data. 
 Because it's python it is easy to use in an existing web2py app.

 We appreciate any kind of feedback!

Re: [web2py] Logger issue

[Alex]

I'm not missing anything with logging.conf. As I mentioned above it is not 
just simply rewriting the logging configuration because I have to adapt the 
deployment process as well. Therefor I'd like to know in advance if you 
think that rewriting the logger would solve this issue.

And I'd like to know how this is possible at all in first place. I've other 
applications with much more users (but using Apache instead of Rocket) 
without this problem.

[web2py] Dynamically changing requirement of field in form

[Simona Chovancová]

Hello.

I have a form in web2py that controls editing and adding new user. But some 
fields need different requirements based on when user is being added or 
edited. Can I somehow change field requirements in view? I can only detect 
this in view. So far I came up with something like this, but it does not 
work.

{{userform.custom.widget.name['requires'] = IS_EMAIL(error_message='invalid 
email!')}}

Any ideas? Thanks for help.

that's up to you. e.g.
'{{=URL('report', 'save')}}'
so you would need a controller file report.py with a function save in your 
application. There you have to save the report (available as data 
parameter) yourself wherever you want to. E.g. you could save it in your db 
or as a file.

In your case you don't have the controller you specified in the url, 
therefor the ajax call fails.

Re: [web2py] Re: how to create pdf report in web2py???

[António Ramos]

Some questions ...

1 - i see that you have already a report_request table with the reports.
Are you talking about this table to save reports? Looks to me that this
table is to save the "templates" of the pdf reports


2 - How do i merge data from my db with your templates and generate a live
pdf with live data? so users can save it in their desktop ?

this is a different table to temporarily store report definition and data. 
It is used as a workaround for the plugin. The data for pdf preview in MS 
Edge browser cannot be set directly and needs a url instead. Further this 
is also needed for xls preview, because there is no simple preview plugin 
for xls. Therefor the url for xls preview is opened in a new tab and 
handled by the browser.

in your web2py controller (where you generate the final pdf file) create a 
Report instance:
report = Report(report_definition, data)

where report_definition is the report template (the one you uploaded to 
your save controller), and data is a dict containing the actual data to 
fill in. the keys must match with your parameters of the report. E.g. if 
you have a parameter "first_name" then data must contain a key 
"first_name". You should check afterwards if there were any errors during 
report initialization (report.errors)

the report itself (pdf file) is created with
report_file = report.generate_pdf()

 In your case you don't have the controller you specified in the url,

Two questions:

an other try after some minutes. Would it be a good idea to raise an
Exception?

(2) Let's say scheduler_task.retry_failed is 5 and we are in the second

scheduler like scheduler.number_of_try?

If the deployment process is A Separate Piece Of Code (Chef, Salt, 
fabfiles, BASH scripts, etc), I would put logging into that,copy the log 
file into the web2py/logs directory if you want, and just use logging.conf 
for web2py.  Adding an app to the logging of an existing installation just 
requires appending about 4 lines to logging.conf.

I have no experience with logs other than logging.conf, so I don't know.  
In my experience, Rocket doesn't introduce any funnies in logging.

Re: [web2py] Re: how to create pdf report in web2py???

[Alex]

you do not have to buy a license for a private app:
https://www.reportbro.com/license/index

the logo is only printed when using the public available reportbro 
instance. When you use your own server there will not be a logo on the 
generated pdf file. Unless you call generate_pdf with add_watermark=True 
parameter:
https://www.reportbro.com/docs/methods

you should not read the report template from the report_request table, 
because it is only used as a temporary table for the plugin (as mentioned 
above). You should store your report template yourself (in your save 
controller) and then use this template (from db or file system etc.) to 
generate a report.

about the fonts: what does not work? first you have to add it when 
initializing the plugin so the font is available in the designer. This is 
demonstrated in the certificate demo:
https://www.reportbro.com/demos/index

On the server you have to specify the additional_fonts parameter,  the 
value of the font must be the same as the value in the plugin intialization 
(so the font matches). And of course the specified ttf file must exist (in 
your case static/fonts/arial.ttf)

Status should be 'FAILED' on those, as well.

And all those values are in the Row object returned by task_status.

Footnote:  In the online book (as at web2py.com/books), the search function 
with the term "scheduler" finds -K option in the command line help list, 
but doesn't find the API discussion also in Chapter 4.  I did get there by 
searching for "queue_task".  I'm not familiar with the guts of the search 
function to know why this happens.

@echo off
set command=C:\web2py\web2py.exe
set interfaces=0.0.0.0
set port= 8000
start %command% --interfaces=%interfaces% -p %port%

just another way around, if you plan to make windows desktop app, perhaps 
you can looking for electron or nwjs, point it into your server url 
(webview), and it will generated, the exe for you.

".bat" is roughly equivalent to ".sh".  So you're making a script that will 
start web2py in the directory you just downloaded it to.

This script is a one-liner (unless you get fancy), and it just specifies 
the relative path to the executable.  And you should probably change the 
slashes ("/") to backslashes ("\") because you have to do tricks to get 
windows take slash as a path separator.

(web2py.exe has the python interpreter wrapped inside, unlike linux where 
you would say "python web2py/web2py.py")

Hey, he's just been told to create a directory "myapp" and put web2py  
there, so of course he needs to do that.

@echo off

Port 8000 may not be correct for the people intalling the OP's package.  
He'll have to tell the customer how to configure the port, etc.  That's for 
a stand-alone configuration. If the customer wants to run it under a 
scalable front end (instead of the useful but not scalable Rocket), the OP 
will have to write up different instructions.  Those are in Chapter 13, but 
he will probably need to find a Windows-speaking person to help make sure 
the instructions work for a specific site.

Sounds like he wants to distribute server packages,

[web2py] Re: How to distribute your applications as binaries¶

[mostwanted]

When i run my .bat file it just flashes a black console and then closes, it 
doesn't display any errors or anything to notify me about what iIm doing 
wrong! What could i be missing? exactly the same as Stifan's;

@echo off
set command=C:\Users\mesho\Desktop\myapp\web2py\web2py.exe
set interfaces=0.0.0.0
set port=8000
start %command% --interfaces=%interfaces% --p=%port%


What am I missing or messing up??
