Hello,
I've made an application where I call a MySQL database and give the user
the option of choosing the columns of the database to appear. Nevertheless
when I try to click the link I get the "Not authorized Insufficient
privileges" error without even having the chance to login.
I used @auth.requires_membership('manager') in order to allow only certain
users to access the database but that's not the problem as when i comment
this line i still get the error.
My I kept the default db.py and made a new one named lcdb.py as follows:
lcdb.define_table('new_lung_cancer',
Field('id','string'),
Field('patient_code','string'),
....
....
Field('wet_tissue','string'),
migrate=False)
The function in the default.py controller is the following:
@auth.requires_membership('manager')
def data():
response.flash = ("Συγκεντρωτικός Πίνακας Δεδομένων")
#define the names of the columns as mysql only accepts latin letters
and no gaps
headers={'new_lung_cancer.id':'A/A',
'new_lung_cancer.patient_code':'ΚΩΔΙΚΟΣ ΑΣΘΕΝΟΥΣ',
'new_lung_cancer.age':'ΗΛΙΚΙΑ',
...
...
...
'new_lung_cancer.wet_tissue':'ΝΩΠΟΣ ΙΣΤΟΣ'}
#define a list of columns from which the dropdown menu will get its
input when the user chooses which columns to display
fields_temp=[lcdb.new_lung_cancer.id,
lcdb.new_lung_cancer.patient_code, ...,
lcdb.new_lung_cancer.wet_tissue]
#this is where the column info will go in order for the sqlform command
to display the appropriate columns
fields=[]
#create a list of indices corresponding to the columns
answers=range(len(fields_temp))
#create the dropdown menu without creating a database in Mysql
form = SQLFORM.factory(Field('options',
requires=IS_IN_SET((answers),('A/A', 'ΚΩΔΙΚΟΣ ΑΣΘΕΝΟΥΣ', 'ΗΛΙΚΙΑ', ...
'ΙΣΤΟΣ ΠΑΡΑΦΙΝΗ', 'ΝΩΠΟΣ ΙΣΤΟΣ'), multiple=True)))
#If the user chooses one column or more than one column is defined by
this. In case the user press submit without choosing something all the
database is displayed
if form.accepts(request.vars,session):
if type(request.vars.options).__name__=='list':
for option in request.vars.options:
fields.append(fields_temp[int(option)])
elif type(request.vars.options).__name__=='str': #this is
esssential for when the indice of the selection has more than one digit
fields.append(fields_temp[int(request.vars.options)])
else:
response.flash = 'Please select a column'
form2=SQLFORM.grid(lcdb.new_lung_cancer, headers=headers,
create=True, deletable=False, editable=False, maxtextlength=32, paginate=10)
form2=SQLFORM.grid(lcdb.new_lung_cancer, headers=headers,
fields=fields, create=True, deletable=False, editable=False,
maxtextlength=32, paginate=10)
elif form.errors:
response.flash = 'Form has errors' #just in case
else:
form2=SQLFORM.grid(lcdb.new_lung_cancer, headers=headers,
create=True, deletable=False, editable=False, maxtextlength=32, paginate=10)
return dict(form=form, form2=form2)
The thing is i used the exact same function for a different MySQL database
(by changing the names of fields) and it worked perfectly.
What am I missing? Where could i be getting the error from if not from Auth?
P.S. I'm using "..." in my post in order not to make it chaotic with all
the different fields and field names. If you need the whole code I can
attach it.
