old apps when downloading images)

Massimo,

Excellent news about Ingres support in Web2Py. There is no other web
framework that supports as many databases that I know of. Just a
reminder, would you have someone add Ingres information to the home
page at...

http://www.web2py.com/

Thanks,
Christopher

I am not running it properly~ I don't know why.
I download the latest source code. Upzip.Run:

python web2py.py
the browser auto startup.
Show "Invalid Request"
And the console:

Any ideas?

[william wang]

Sorry, my bad. It's working great!

[mdipierro]

we officially have a Ingres expert (Chris Clark). he is listed in the
who page. I will ad Ingres support to the main page asap.

The best keeps getting better! Where can we find doc on new
capabilities?

Not written yet. Sorry. Except for

New hindi and spanish translation

ingres support (thanks Chris)

cached uploads allow for progress bars (thanks AndCycle)

legacy database support for db2, mssql with non-int primary keys
(thanks Denes)

the other things are mostly internal rewrites. I believe there are
threads for the last two issues.

Hope I am not forgetting something important.

Not very important but there is now DIV.elements to grab elements by
tag or attribute:

text = form.elements("input",_type="text")
for t in text:
t['_size']="50"

...you can grab by multiple tags or attributes...

We should mantain a page "versions" on the wiki with a link to each
version information, talking about the changes.
What do you think?
Any volunteer?

Once yarko proposes generate the pages automatically from README. I
like the idea but I need to cleanup readme a bit first. Will try later
today.

Does this also work with SQLite?
