The problem was web2py was not serving files ending in .html to the
browser. All I needed to do to get shadowbox running with web2py was
create a routes.py that added .html to all web2py URLs.
Here is the routes.py file contents that fixed the problem. My
routes.py file now creates a URL followed by .html, which is needed
for the whole thing to work with the shadowbox library (and any other
javascript library).
On OSX:
web2py/Contents/Resources/routes.py
routes_in=(
('/$c/$f.html','/tripplanet/$c/$f'),
('/$c/$f','/tripplanet/$c/$f'),
)
routes_out=(
('/tripplanet/$c/$f','/$c/$f.html'),
)
Thats it. Now any time you put URL(r=request, f='function'). The
resulting url is yoursite/controller/function.html. Note that the url
no longer includes the app name.
i.e. yoursite/appname/controller/function.html.
Also, if you type in that address it keeps it in the address bar
without transforming it to the same without the .html.
Lastly, the app can be still reached by typing the info without
the .html. i.e. yoursite/controller/function (no .html).
THIS NEEDS TO GO ON THE WIKI AS A TUTORIAL ON HOW TO GET SHADOWBOX
RUNNGIN WITH WEB2PY!
