Im trying to make a progress bar by reading and writing a session variable:
There are 2 controllers: Get session.progress def getprogress(): print "getprogress:", session.progress return session.progress This one takes 5 seconds to perform and changes session.progress each one. def progress(): # when a form is submitted, change progress each second if request.post_vars: for i in range(5): session.progress = i print "main:", session.progress sleep(1) return "done" else: session.progress = -1 return locals() At the view, there are two ajax calls. One that triggers "getprogress" each second, and another one that triggers "progress" when a random form is submitted. at the browser's console, getprogress only returns -1 at the python console i get a log like this: getprogress: -1 getprogress: -1 main: 0 getprogress: -1 main: 1 getprogress: -1 main: 2 getprogress: -1 main: 3 getprogress: -1 main: 4 getprogress: -1 getprogress should be changing since im writing the session variable. If im changing a session variable in a controller why hasnt changed when i ask for it on another one? Should i be using cron jobs or threads to make a progress bar? Thank you very much. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
