about web2py 2.0

[Massimo DiPierro]

I think we need to fix the following before 20

[ ] fix menu top link items (Angelo?)
[ ] consider merging bootswatch.css and web2py.css to avoid duplication/conflicts (Angelo, Andrew, Anthony?)
[ ] fix export button in grid (niphlod?)

[ ] add the new T.M from Vladyslav and test it (critical because 1/2 is already in trunk)
[ ] decide whether to add or not utf8.py from Vladyslav
[ ] test the new changes in admin about pluralization and navigation

[ ] new pyfpdf from Mariano
[ ] fix '%' escaping issue with pg8000 (Mariano)?

[ ] improve auth.wiki() I am working on this
[ ] fix some minor security issues in admin (I am working on this).
[ ] fix db.import_from_csv_file() (I am working on this. A recent patch changed behavior and broke it).
[ ] build the new windows binary on windows 2.7 (working on this with niphlod)

[ ] allows upload and update apps from github using admin (anybody?)

[ ] fix issue 886 (niphlod?)
[ ] fix issue 887 (Howesc?)

Am I missing anything else?

This is fixed (unicode ttf support, alpha channel,etc.), I'm testing it.
Sadly, I think the new html2pdf tool using web2pyHTMLParser will not make it

> [ ] fix '%' escaping issue with pg8000 (Mariano)?

Ok

MSSQL2 adapter also need some minor fixes (mostly for proper unicode support).


Are you interested in a windows service for cron?

If you have it, I would like to see it. ;-)

Sorry, it is fixed and commited in the pyfpdf repo:

https://code.google.com/p/pyfpdf/

I have to close a couple of minor issues and I will send the patch /
merge request / whatever
BTW, what is the recommended procedure nowadays to submit large
changes like this?

Mariano Reingart

[Massimo DiPierro]

Just tell me when pyfpdf is final and I can pull it directly from your repo.

[  ] allows upload and update apps from github using admin (as suggested already it's easy to download from the tarball with a minor fix. uploading gets complicated only in the "find the git executable" end, updating directly using git is another story (the repo should be "pull-proof", i.e. empty databases folder, dal-uri not fixed, etc etc etc. I guessed a lot of caveats while trying to implement that for w2p_tvseries))
 [  ] fix issue 886 (will see in a few days mainly because that line got added a lot in the past)

Am I missing anything else?

In the last couple of days (I know, I know, two are mine requests ^_^):
- a better integration with scheduler,
- all cron patches and threads going around
- the wonderful issue of static folder with versioning
A lot of requests coming from web2py-users are in the regards of:
- quoting reserved keywords (I saw a lot of attemps in trunk, reverted)
- schema declaration (those mainly coming from postgresql and mssql users)

I don't see any loss of functionality so I say yes. Backward compatibility for this is not an issue.

You can assume python-git is installed.

can we postpone it to 2.1? Only because we do not want to delay too much.

A lot of requests coming from web2py-users are in the regards of:

I reverted the patch because by allowing - for example -  a "." in a field name, it would break db.table.field syntax and the Rows parsing.

A better approach and more general would be allow two names for field and tables. One at the web2py level and one of the sql level (the latter would be quoted). It is not difficult just pedantic and may make the dal a little slower (probably not significatlively slower). I do not think we need to have this in 2.0. It can wait 2.1.

can you provide an example?

[Massimo DiPierro]

This may be very useful.

When a new version of an app is pushed to github, the web hook could notify admin to upgrade the app. This would be a great feature to have in 2.0.

[Bruno Rocha]

I have a propose, if you agree it is a good idea I can start to develop (but I will need help)

What  about a new button in admin "create a new plugin"

It should be next to "upload a plugin" within an app.

When clicked it will take a name for plugin, a version and some more metadata and will create a new file under modules/plugin_givenname/main.py

in this it will automatically put some defaults and also create a pliginmanager with the metadata.

Also it will create a new controllers/plugin_givenname.py and of course the static and views folder for it.

Maybe with a button and some defaults people will develop more plugins.

Also it will need to be used on terminal python web2py.py -S appname -R scripts/createplugin.py -name givenname

http://zerp.ly/rochacbruno

[Massimo DiPierro]

Ok. The relevant code belongs to gluon/admin.py. You can call it from both applications/admin and scripts/createplugin.py

If you use a mobile phone (mobile=True) than you have a dropdown list that has only menus without submenus.

If you have:
 - Index
 - Menu1
 - Menu2
 - Menu3 (without url)
   - Menu3-submenu1
 - Menu4

Than in the dropdown menu list Menu3 and Menu3-submenu1 are missing.

[Martín Mulone]

Is not the same menu for mobile?. And if you browse this: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/examples/hero.html what do you get?.

In your patch models/db.py is missing. I reverted it from welcome.

I was able to fix it by replacing the many imports with "from gluon import *" in bootstrap.py

I think this is useful but I think it still needs lots of work. It has a better layout than appadmin but does not really add functionality.

For now it is better package it as a plugin, when you think it is ready.

I don't know any good solution but if you set

{{=MENU(response.menu, _class='mobile-menu nav' if is_mobile else 'nav',mobile=False,li_class='dropdown',ul_class='dropdown-menu')}}

than there is no dropdown list (as for selectbox in forms) just a plain list (as html ul -> li) with menus and submenus.

[szimszon]

If the screen is narrow than you have an icon in the top right corner and if you click it than you got all the menus...

If mobile=True than you have a dropdown menu list without ( menus with submenu ).

don't worry I'll make a new patch.

I notice that Bootstrap references folder 'img'.  In static web2py uses 'images'.  Maybe that will lead to problems.  If we are basing welcome app on Bootstrap,  should we adopt the same folder name?

[Massimo DiPierro]

I'd rather not change web2py folder naming conventions because one particular layout has other preferences, even if we ship that layout. I'd rather fix the layout as we did.

[Gy Sz]

The welcome app's menu is good because:

ďż˝ ďż˝ response.menu+=[
ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ (SPAN('web2py',_style='color:yellow'),False, 'http://web2py.com', [
ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ (T('My Sites'),False,URL('admin','default','site')),

because the web2py top menu has a link... But the css now doesn't support that (submenus can be accessed with top menu click).

If you change the above:

ďż˝ ďż˝ response.menu+=[
ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ (SPAN('web2py',_style='color:yellow'),False, False, [
ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ ďż˝ (T('My Sites'),False,URL('admin','default','site')),

now the web2py has no link itself. And so there is no web2py menu at all in mobile view...

[szimszon]

ďż˝ is just TAB (google or FF trouble :( )

pyfpdf is ready, I'll send the patch or do the push ASAP

- unicode (utf-8) ttf font support (subset embedding)
- png alpha channel support
