Problem with _dashboard after updating to latest master from github

[David Manns]

I just updated my development environment to lastest py4web, I was running a September version.

_dashboard won't open the databases section of my app (screen shot of the error attached).

I must be missing something obvious - I find make_safe() defined in _dashboard/utils.py and _dashboard/__init__.py has from ./utils import *

[David Manns]

Sorry, "from .utils import *" . 

If I breakpoint at __init__ line 393, I find everything prior to make_safe defined in utils is defined, i.e. up through create_app, but make_safe and following are not?? This seems bizarre

[David Manns]

As a side note, _dashboard/utils.py seems to be missing .import datetime

And make no longer seems to have "make requirements"

[David Manns]

in _dashboard/utils:

added import datetime at line 20

added "make_safe" to __all__

_dashboard now seems to be working.

import gzip

import logging

import os

import re

import shutil

import subprocess

import tarfile

import datetime

__all__ = (

"safe_join",

"list_dir",

"recursive_unlink",

"tar",

"untar",

"pack",

"unpack",

"create_app",

"make_safe"

)

[David Manns]

Probably run, get_commits, get_branches, and is_git_repo also need to be included in __all__

Thank you David,

I've just made a PR to fix it (#1014 Dashboard app: fix errors from utils and no.css ). This also fix some minor syntax problem on no.css.

I'm working on the Dashboard app to make it more standard, and Massimo liked some of my suggestions. But he spot some problems and preferred to revert some pieces.

I'm also trying to improve the Dashboard app to use themes - stay tuned ;-)

Cheers,

Nico

Thank you, Nico, for your work on improving the dashboard app. It is such a handy app. I wanted to share a few features I appreciated in the old and new versions.

Old version:

1. All rows had a uniform height, similar to standard database interfaces.

2. Reference fields were clickable, allowing users to navigate directly to the corresponding row.

New version:

1. The row order is now saved in the URL, which allows users to refresh the page without losing their custom ordering.

2. The in-dashboard editing interface looks more polished.

I hope that as many of these features as possible can be retained or expanded upon in future releases.

Thank you again!

Hadi

100% we should restore old version 1 & 2 if they are broken. Will test it and get it done today or tomorrow.
