I downloaded web2py a couple days ago and began messing around with it using the Scribd version of the book to get started. I'm using Google Chrome on a Mac. My admin pages looked quite a bit different than the examples in the book. Thinking I might have gotten an old version (it was from Jan 2009 or something) I clicked the check for upgrades link and was told I was up-to-date. Then thinking it might have been some Chrome-specific incompatibility I tried Safari. Clicked the upgrade link and lo and behold there was a new version to download. Got that, restarted web2py and things looked better.
But still not quite right. For example, at the top of p. 53 in the book it shows the What's your name? form with a left-hand sidebar having Authentication, Main Menu and Edit This App titles. I don't see any of that even though I am extending layout.html in both my first and second pages (though not in my index.html page). Am I missing something? After editing a page if I want to return to the top level I'm constantly backing up through form submission warnings or using the browser's <- menu to back up several pages in the stack. Also, is there some way to work on these files outside of the web interface? As an Emacs user I find editing using <textarea> widgets abysmal. I'm sure vi users feel the same.
