Actually, this did not work for me in FireFox 3. As soon as I used the back key, the edit control refreshed itself and lost all of my edits. There was no way to recover my edits from the browser at all. I am surprised that you say it works for you.
As for editing files instead of using the web interface -- I thought the web interface was one of the "advantages" of web2py over similar offerings. It's harder to use files on web2py because our interface is not set up to easily allow file editing remotely. We rely on other means such as ssh and ftp to edit files remotely, which reduces the convenience of web2py somewhat when used in that mode. -- Joe On Oct 23, 6:59 am, mdipierro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > And you can always use the browser to go [back] and retrieve work at > any previous stage (works for me with firefox). > > Massimo > > On Oct 23, 8:58 am, mdipierro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I know but once you are aware of this problem it is gone because you > > have the options to: > > 1) edit the admin/models/0.py file and increase the expiration time > > 2) you can edit the files without the web based interface using any > > other editor you like > > > Massimo > > > On Oct 23, 4:59 am, "Phyo Arkar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > It wont be hard to make ajax saves . > > > > On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 9:37 AM, achipa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > The real question here is what web2py can/could do about people > > > > landing on unexpected pages, which then go to login.
