CSS Template Layouts

[Yarko Tymciurak]

Well, I, almost gagged adapting (very old sytle) corporate layout standards to a default web2py layout, and as of this weekend - well, it's not that I gave up so much, as it is I was just too bored with it to go on.

Tonight, I'm back to looking thru old links I have surrounding the beauty of css elements, and ran across this (in case anyone wants to join in some experimentations):

http://code.google.com/p/css-template-layout/   (for this:  http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-css3-layout-20090402/)

I also, today, was again reminded of the simple beauty of this from Eric Meyer:

and thinking of a nice SVG web2py image with elements from these:

http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/menus/demo.html

Anybody else see anything clean, neat that is simple?

(I like the css only menus, and am eager - in a minute - to start trying out code to load that contextually....  it just looks so clean from the source side).

I deleted that page because it is misleading and old. There are two
issues:

1) the technical reason for your error is that

@f
def g(): return 'something'

is equivalent to

def g(): return 'something'
g=f(g())

and in your case f (i.e. run) does not take arguments.

2) anyway the post is misleading because this is all already coded for
you and part of web2py core functionality. Here is a complete example
you can put in your controller

### begin
from gluon.tools import Service
service=Service(globals())

@service.run
@service.json
def create(name): return name

def call(): return service()
### end

now visit
http://..../call/run/create/Dave
http://..../call/run/create?name=Dave
http://..../call/json/create/Dave
http://..../call/json/create?name=Dave

same for xmlrpc, pyamf, etc. This is documented partially in the gluon/
tools file.

Hi Yarko, I like the pure CSS cascading menu.
Could you make it color neutral and post the required CSS for three
levels of nested popup menus assuming

<a href="#">click me to open menu</a>
<ul class="menu-level-1">
<li><a href="#">menu1</a>
<ul class="menu-level-2">
<li><a href="#">menu11</a>
<ul class="menu-level-4>
<li><a href="#">menu111</a>
</li>
...
</ul>
</li>
...
</ul>
</li>
...
</ul>

Is there an example for creating submenus in web2py?

I could only create a main menu with the response.menu function.

The T3 app has code in it that does it.
