Hi all, I've been using web2py for a couple weeks now and I think it's amazing! However, today when I tried to work on my app, via the in-browser editor, the editor doesn't load. The admin interface is fine, the design page works fine, but the editor itself is mostly blank. This happens only

[web2py] storing user-defined classes across sessions

I'm working on a website for a game, the engine of which involves a heirarchy of custom classes. I need to find some way to store the gamestate between sessions, so that logged-in users can pick up a game from one of their associated characters from where they last saved. My original idea was t

[web2py] Re: action when leaving a page

The variables I'm trying to store are the gamestate and character information for a game. If I do this, it exposes that information in the source of the page, and could theoretically be editable by the user (correct?). Even if it's not editable, it's a sizable amount of code, and it also change

Ah, sure. The game is a text adventure that I wrote as a command-line python game (actually, originally it ran via a bot in irc), which is why I wanted to use a python web framework to design the web interface. The gamestate is a jsonpickle of the game engine object heirarchy, and the character

I wasn't clearing the session itself, just those two variables (setting session.char_dict = {}, session.gamestate = ""), but your point is taken, especially with how poorly my current solution is working. I can't pass around just the id (which was a previous implementation that I tried) because
