Assuming that request.args contains the right values, this should work:

You right, the prefix is what makes possible to use the same plugin code

Your description is very confusing. Static content are the files that are
not dynamically generated but simply served over the network, e.g. images,

If you still struggling with it, a workaround could be to add the

I think you need to customize the functions for storing/retrieving the
uploaded file.

How do you post it? I'm guessing this is the part that needs fixing.
Not directly. You can't execute scripts on GAE, so you would have to move
the checking/sending code into a controller function and set up the GAE

However, it might be easier to use the GAE queues and to delegate e-mail

For simple things such as thumbnails, you can use the GAE images API (which

Oh, so the default for functions is ALL_FUNCTIONS? In the comments it says:

First you need to change your model. In relation database you would have:
db.define_table("articles", db.Field("title"), ...)
db.define_table("comments", db.Field("article_id", db.articles),
db.Field("author"), ...)
But with datastore you want to do the reverse, keep the comment ids in the

You need web2py >= 1.99.3 for the lambda to work.
You *have to* set the response.files first, then include web2py_ajax.html.
Look how this is done in the example app:
http://code.google.com/p/web2py/source/browse/applications/welcome/views/layout.html
Also notice that web2py_ajax.html already includes jquery and web2py.js:
http://code.google.com
If this processing is done after the form submission you can delegate that
to a background task.
Having a queue of tasks end executing them one by one should solve the
concurrent access
problem. Check out the book section on scheduler:
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/4#Scheduler-%28exp
When working with GAE datastore you want to execute minimum number of
queries necessary to avoid delays and
limit the use of DB API calls. Fetching comments one by one is not the best
option then (even if done with ajax).
Probably the most efficient way would be to store the list of comment ids
Make a simple model for storing files:
db.define_table("files",
db.Field("name"),
db.Field("content", "text"))
Then use a function similar to the one below to download the file:
def download():
file = db.files(request.args[0])
if not file:
raise HTTP(404, "File not found.")
What do you mean by "I've made skills and items unnecessary"? What about

This is not the best way. It will run a separate query for each board id.
On GAE you want to do

You can use a format string to define the data representation, read this:

To get the icons, instead of a format string, pass a function that

You can simply loop over a sorted list (first by the state, then by name):

The code in controllers is wrapped in web2py with a try except clause that
automatically commits or rolls back the changes to db. I believe this is
not the case for modules and an explicit commit is needed there. Try to add
"db.commit" to your module code.
You can pass a dictionary to a function as if you are passing keyword
arguments.
kwargs = {"a":1, "b":2}
f(**kwargs) # this call is equal to f(a=1, b=3)
There is similar mechanism for positional arguments in Python:
