I intended to use Django for a project but found it too time consuming to learn. With Web2py I seem to be able to "get to the code" much faster, which is great.
I have a few questions. What is the best approach to do repetitive stuff. In particular I mean code you want to run no matter what controller have been invoked. I want to create my own account system and on every "page" I need to check: - Has a user has logged in? - What permissions does the logged in user have? Do I really have to create a module which I need to import in every controller which then creates an instance of my Account class and passes the session object to that instance? It would be great if there was a non-controller module which would be automatically loaded when a controller is used. I know global variables should be used sparingly, but this approach would make it easier to create globals for an application if you want them. Normally I write PHP code, which often has globals, so maybe I just have the wrong ideas of how to do things. So, any advice on this would be welcome. === Plugins == I just discovered the T2/T3 plugins. Since T2 is not an application, it was a little confusing (at first) how to use it. I think it would be good if there could be a separate directory and importer for plugins. This way you could also show them in a different list than the applications. It would also be great if a plugin could include some documentation that can be seen through its design page. Anyways, thanks for a great framework. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
