[web2py] accessing auth_user username

[Jaimee S]

Hello All, 

Im new to web2py and I can't seem to figure out how to access the usernames of 
the registered users. I added username to the default login and it renders just 
fine. In my controller I've tried various methods such as:


def xx():
 item = db(db.auth_user).select(db.auth_user.username.ALL)
 return locals()

def...:
 item = db().select(db.auth_user.username.ALL)
 return...

def...:
 item = # both previous func with periods instead of _
 
@auth.requires_login()
def...:
 item = # prev logic

In html I've tried:

{{=item}}

{{for ite in item:}}
{{=ite}}
{{pass}}

{{for...:}}
{{=ite.username}}
{{pass}}

# also tried same methods with table tags


My ticket error:
Name 'html_variable' is not defined

My plan is as follows:
Display all users on page as ul or td
Create css flex box and display each user by username
Display each user by image
Etc

Thanks for reading!

Also, this was posted from my phone which is why I used pseud code

[Jaimee S]

Oh I see, I misunderstood how to access Auth. You're right, I'll need to read 
more of the documentation. BTW your answer worked, thanks!

[web2py] Display uploaded file

[Jaimee S]

Hello all,

I've been trying relentlessly to display a photo that is connected to a user. 
I've tried the download function a thousand ways and am slowly running out of 
Google search terms. Here is what I've tried:



auth.settings.extra_fields[auth.settings.table_user_name]=
 [Field('picture','upload')] #success, no hiccups



def get_file():
 row = db(db.auth_user.id==request.args(0)).select().first()
 return locals() #success, no hiccups

 row =db(db.auth_user.id)...

def download() 
 return response.download(request,db)

[web2py] Re: Display uploaded file

[Jaimee S]

Thanks for replying,


I should probably clarify more. The dots are just my shorthand way of 
indicating that the code is the same in that spot and the only thing that 
changed was what I typed out the following time.

The b in the for loop is just a variable that indicates the same value as your 
"user" 
Typed out it would be:
{{for b in row:}}http://web2py.com

[Jaimee S]

You're a genius, man. Thanks. Is there any way to bypass the download function? 
It slows down my site if I'm downloading each picture of each user

BTW, I appreciate your efforts! I see you on every board.

[web2py] Re: Display uploaded file

[Jaimee S]

Sweet, noted.

I'm on my laptop now trying the jsfiddle code. Nothing is happening. I suspect 
it may be the link I created. What do you think?

Link in html:


I created a static named style.css an it appears at the bottom of the static 
file.

Css:

.container{
display:flex;
justify-content:center;
flex-wrap:wrap;
align-items:center;
}
img{
width:100%;
max-width:200px;
}

Let me know if there's anything else you need!

The css file was not in 'css/style.css' It was in 'style.css'.
That fixed the problem and now my flexbox works too. Again, many thanks!

[web2py] temporary storage

[Jaimee S]

Hello all, 

I have a list of users on my page. I'm trying to click one user and add that 
user to a list. After that, I'm trying to loop though each and display their 
username in html. I can't seem to get the code one hundred percent right. Any 
help would be appreciated!

Here is my code:


def to_del():
arg=request.args(0)
guy=db(db.auth_user==arg).select(db.auth_user.username)
people=[]
for person in guy:
people.append(guy)
return locals()




selected: # for loop with people

Any ideas?

Thanks! That fixed an error. However the big problem is capturing multiple args

[web2py] Re: temporary storage

[Jaimee S]

Yes, that's along the lines of what I'm looking for; however, I'll need it to 
be in the database due to the fact that I'm going to loop through that list of 
requests with a for-loop and call a function on each one. 

The function adds that value to a field in the db.when I tried to require it in 
the db, I got a dropdown instead of just an input. Is there any way to remove 
that dropdown action?

[web2py] Stripe Info

[Jaimee S]

Hi,

I've read through the stripe documents and i had a few questions. 

I see how it's possible to integrate stripe into web2py, but i don't see 
how you can have an open amount which would allow the user to pay however 
much they choose. For instance, i would like the users to pay whatever 
amount they choose and display the top five paid users on my account. Every 
thirty days i would like to reset their accounts and set them all to zero 
so they can compete again. How can i track the amount that the users pay on 
my website? How do i reset their amounts every thirty days? How can i have 
the amount set to an open value so that the users can pay whatever amount 
they choose(with a minimum of course)? How can i sort the users based off 
of the amount that they have paid over a thirty day period?


Also, my second thought was to just have everyone pay a flat rate. The 
problem with that is that i don't know how to track if they paid or not. 
How can i track the amount that a user pays?

Any help would be appreciated!

[Jaimee S]

Thanks for the great responses guys. 

Could you provide a bit of pseudo code relating to adding the users payment 
amount to the table. I'm not sure about a few things. For instance, what if 
they click the buy button then presses back once the widget fires

[web2py] https and stripe

[Jaimee S]

Recently I've been working on integrating stripe. I've been unable do to the 
fact that it requires an https connection. I've looked into obtaining one, but 
I'm not exactly sure how to. Does web2py not offer ssl support?

[web2py] Re: https and stripe

[Jaimee S]

Thanks for the tips!

That leads me to more questions


I found this on web2py from your link:
'''
All these steps are performed automatically by the provided scripts:

1
2
scripts/setup-web2py-nginx-uwsgi-on-centos.sh
scripts/setup-web2py-nginx-uwsgi-ubuntu.sh'''

Does this mean that once I complete these steps then I'll have successfully 
deployed to nginx and that I'm able to access the website from online?

Here is some information that I found online just now:
'''
PythonAnywhere is an online Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and Web 
hosting service based on the Python programming language. '''

'''Nginx can be deployed to serve dynamic HTTP content on the network using 
FastCGI, SCGI handlers for scripts, WSGI application servers or Phusion 
Passenger modules, and it can serve as a software load balancer.[9]'''

Based off of the links you sent on nginx, I'm assuming that i'll need to switch 
from developing my site on my localhost to the nginx software. Why? 

I get a feeling that nginx provides some sort of encryption. An encryption that 
pythonanywhere doesn't. Am I wrong? Am I comparing apples and oranges because 
they aren't similar?

Ultimately, I plan on releasing my website when it's almost finished and 
tampering with it while it's live kind of like Kanye wests album release. 
Python anywhere seems to provide me with that ability. Will I need to switch my 
app from localhost to nginx an then deploy to pythonanywhere? 

I have a ton of questions and I don't want to pester you. What other links 
should I read into?

[web2py] Re: https and stripe

[Jaimee S]

interesting, so what you're saying is that once i deploy to python anywhere 
ill no longer have any problems with setting up Nginx. Great! Will the 
payment part of my website still be accessible, just not trusted, without 
an ssl certificate?

[web2py] Re: Push Notifications

[Jaimee S]

Thanks for such a thorough response, Anthony!

Long polling seems to be the way to go for my website. I've been reading up 
on the tornado web socket  all day. 

I'm nearing 100 users on my website and i believe that speed will be a 
problem eventually. I'm deployed to python anywhere like you suggested; 
however, i am using sqlite still. As of now, everything is working and i've 
received no complaints on performance. Will there be a problem with long 
polling while using sqlite?

Re: [web2py] Re: make your app name show first

  I am interested in using the routes.py method. Do I create the file inside of init or do I create it inside of the actual web2py application?David ShaversFounder, Just Between Us jbthelpp...@gmail.comwww.jbtus.comFrom: Marlysson SilvaSent: Monday, January 2, 2017 5:52 AMTo: web2py-usersReply To: web2py@googlegroups.comSubject: [web2py] Re: make your app name show firstTry this:http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/04/the-core#Application-initDefining a app how first..Em segunda-feira, 2 de janeiro de 2017 04:48:12 UTC-3, David Shavers  escreveu:Hi, I have an app and I had to name it 'init' because the 'welcome' app kept coming up first.

Re: [web2py] Re: Open Sourced dating website

  Yea, dude. There definitely aren't ‎many new ideas under the sun so its always best to find one and improve it a little.David ShaversFounder, Just Between Us jbthelpp...@gmail.comwww.jbtus.comFrom: Donald McClymontSent: Sunday, February 26, 2017 4:18 PMTo: web2py-usersReply To: web2py@googlegroups.comSubject: [web2py] Re: Open Sourced dating websiteThanks for sharing - I will take a look.  No plans to start a dating website for people - however currently quite enjoying reading "The evolution of everything" and this argues that human progress arises when ideas have sex - so perhaps it could be adapted to a dating site for ideas.DonaldOn Sunday, February 26, 2017 at 6:17:15 AM UTC, David Shavers wrote:Good Evening, I made a dating website when i was heavily into web2py. My original goal was to overthrow Plenty of Fish. Didn't happen lol. Currently I'm into android development and release new apps almost weekly. My dating website has over 300 users and it's still growing even though i don't advertise or put any effort into marketing. If you are interested/single/curious/looking for love/etc, it's http://www.jbtus.com About an hour ago, i open sourced it on github because i figured some other developer may be trying to overtake pof too and would need a jumpstart to help them get past all of the arbitraries. I'm also looking for employment! The website has many features such as: user to user messaging, a forum, a user feed similar to that of Facebook, bootstrap slideshow, jumbotrons, sorting based on gender/preference, stripe(payment) integration, featured users, user login page, and much more! This website is easily customizable and i did most of the hard work for you. Also, this app uses NO PLUGINS! Enjoy!https://github.com/frontEndDevv/dating_websitePS.. if you encounter any issues that you aren't able to fix, please contact me so i can try my best to help!  And if you are into android development, let me know and we can collaborate or swap ideas or something
