wizard edits db.py so it is not the same as the scaffolding one. It adds some code at the bottom. So what the book says may conflict with it. The book does not talk about the wizard and refers to the normal scaffolding app. > The second criticism arrived when we tried to add a > map using the plugin_wiki and it didn't work. plugin_wiki is not part of web2py. It is a plugin. Most of it works fine but the map part is a new addition and I am not surprised it has some issues. No problem had been reported so far yet. Anyway, I am about to make some changes to plugin_wiki some not backward compatible (it is not part of web2py!). > And the worst criticism came > when just 20 minutes before the project presentation (that was on Sunday), > we deployed on GAE and json/xml didn't work... Panic !!!! Can you please tell us more about this? What error did you get? I think the problem is a sys.path issue and a known GAE bug reported by Jonathan that causes GAE to use its own simplejson instead of the web2py one. Massimo
