Hi, first of all, thank you for web2py. It allowed me to build a simple, clean webapp without having to read tons of documentation or to think too much about design/code organization very quickly. I love the straight-forward, browser-based dev approach, although the admin UI would probably benefit from some ajax to make it more IDE-like in order reduce the number of tabs/windows one has to work with. In particular, I like the packaging-and-deploy support.
Now, however, I would like to build a slightly more complicated app, one that resembles a typical portal app, i.e. one where various page- sections contain one or more widgets, such as a logon/logoff widget or a gallery. Only today I learned of T2, and while its support for common patterns looks promising I don't know to what extend these patterns can take the form of widgets. For example, given a simple two column layout (left, width 80%, main content - right, 20% width, secondary content), how would I place a logon/logoff widget into the right column, and the picture of a puppy into the left column, followed by paginated comments and a comment-submit form iff the user is logged-in? Is that possible? Also, w.r.t. the automagic t2 form creation, can one suppress/default some fields? Glancing at the method signature and __doc__ for "create" for example I did not see any built-in support for this.
