The critical test at this point is that the URL() function (it's used by the menu) should be generating shortened URLs. If it's not, then web2py is for some reason not seeing your routes.py, or it has perhaps a typo. As a test, you might try doing this in the base directory: cp router.example.py routes.py ... removing any routes.py in your application's directory, restarting web2py, and looking at what you get from your menu. If that works (it should), then edit routes.py with your app name as the default. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
