Hi I got this all working - problem was due to way vars where defined
in a SQLFORM.factory.
I am developing my code further and added basic validation that the
username and password inputs
are not blank prior to submitting twiitter_update function.
I am trying to now catch a bad username / password which throws a html
401 . I would like to know if I can code
to catch this authentication error returned from the twitter site in
my code and send feedback to user.
in controller I have the following snippet as part of a larger
function:
if form.accepts(request.vars,session):
session.no_table_username = request.vars.no_table_username
session.no_table_password = request.vars.no_table_password
if not (session.no_table_username=="" and
session.no_table_password=="") :
twitter_post
(session.no_table_username,session.no_table_password,form.vars.Message)
returns
Traceback (most recent call last):
