Hi everyone,
I've been trying to include a separate page with database code into
the layout to no avail. The reason for this is am trying to deploy the
application on GAE, and without actually putting the code in a
controller, GAE throws a fit on me. A regular database query works
fine for the un-GAE version. My setup is:
/controllers/default.py:
def sidebar_latest():
return
dict(latest=db(db.t_problems.id>0).select(orderby=~db.t_problems.created_on,limitby=(0,5)))
/default/sidebar_latest.html:
{{include}}
{{for l in latest:
=LI(A(l.f_name, _href='/app/default/
problems_read/'+str(l.id)))
pass
}}
(Since I need it in the layout, I removed the extend/layout.html at
the top; I still see the proper results)
( layout.html includes web2py_ajax.html, default/sidebar_latest.html)
/views/layout.html:
<div id="sidebar">
<ul><li>
<h2>Latest Problems</h2>
<ul>
{{include 'default/sidebar_latest.html'}}
</ul>
</li></ul>
</div>
I receive the error that "latest" is not defined. I do need the
controller to show up on every single page of the site, that's why am
trying to include it as such. Obviously, it's failing. If anyone has
an idea how to fix it, would be greatly appreciated!
