Looking good, especially the new serialisation and 2d geospatial

[Monte Milanuk]

So... running 2.3.2 on Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.10... on both when I click the 'Check for Upgrades' button in the admin dashboard, I get a message 'Unable to check for upgrades' that replaces the button, and is a link to web2py.com.

Is that the expected behavior?

[黄祥]

no, same like in the newest version when click check for upgrade have the same result :

Version 2.4.2 stable (2013-03-04 03:26:21)

Unable to check for upgrades

if you want to try newest version, please download it from website.

[Massimo Di Pierro]

That is not the expected behavior.

I will check what is going on but the more info you can provide the better.

[Paolo valleri]

Good works, I will try it later today.

I don't know if you have already discussed about that, just in case, I would suggest to start the use of git tags so it will be easier to update web2py and keep track of the different releases.

Paolo

[Niphlod]

until tags are pushed to the main repo, tags are here ... in the evening I'll add the 2.4.2 tag.

[Phyo Arkar]

Never update to new version , ever , before you are about to show something to your client, or Boss.

I had learnt several lessons , in hard ways..

Make sure everything is safe before you do.

[Alan Etkin]

> using google for QR codes (although Graph API will be deprecated in 2015)

What to do then? Is there any other core feature that relies in Graph API?

[Niphlod]

multiple options:
- someone will make available a service
- you make your own QRs (plenty of libs out there)

[samuel bonilla]

+10

good job.

[Monte Milanuk]

Well, I get the same thing as the other poster:

Version 2.3.2 (2012-12-17 15:03:30) stable

Unable to check for upgrades

only I don't have 2.4.2.  Same laptop, dual-booting Windows 7 Pro and Ubuntu 12.10 desktop, python 2.7.3 on both... running web2py from a folder in the user's home directory via the built-in web server (rocket 1.2.6) on the localhost (127.0.0.1) interface.  Not sure what else would be common between the two besides my router/firewall and ISP... never been a problem before.

[Massimo Di Pierro]

we are using hg tags, git tags, and semantic versioning.

[Niphlod]

git tags are not published https://github.com/web2py/web2py/tags ..... did you issue git push --tags ?

[Niphlod]

ps: version check fails because it expects

version (date) stable/dev

instead of the current format

Version 2.4.2 (stable) 2013-03-04 03:26:21

[Tito Garrido]

Is SQLFORM.grid translatable now? :)

Thanks!

Tried to 'graph models' on a windows machine, old apps get the error:

invalid function (appadmin/graph_model)

Created a new app from the wizard, clicked 'graph models'

pygraphviz library not found

Tried to install pygraphviz on Windows (after installing Graphviz), get this message:

Your Graphviz installation could not be found.

And the reason why:

3) You are using Windows
   There are no PyGraphviz binary packages for Windows but you might be
   able to build it from this source.  See
   http://networkx.lanl.gov/pygraphviz/reference/faq.html

So, can we have it disable the 'graph models' if you are running on Windows?

Thanks!

[LightDot]

I know of some users that made it work on windows, so it wouldn't be enough to just check the OS. Also, if the button is hidden in case the lib import fails, then new users would never see it and be reminded that they can install the library and use it.

In both cases, the button serves a cause, IMHO.

Regards,
Ales

[Derek]

Eh, I'd rather have it not shown unless it actually does something. It's poor software design if you have a button which just gives you an error message.

[Paolo Caruccio]

I solved in this way: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py/6obMbP6OY6A/PAI5wStWFIQJ

Maybe it helps you too.

Is there a quick fix for this (ie a change to 2.3.2)?

[Ralo Tannahill]

+1 for web2py!!

In the admin interface I can see:

Version 2.4.2 stable (2013-03-04 03:26:21)

Unable to check for upgrades

Running on %s

%s should be information about the server type, version..., right? I'm using Centos 6, nginx+uwsgi. Maybe web2py expects some wsgi variables and nginx+wsgi locks them? were can I look for more info?

Regards

[Tim Richardson]

Thanks for 2.4.2. I manually updated on Windows and my apps are all working (although for a couple I needed to delete the scheduler tables and update some queries to new field names, where I had things to monitor jobs ... I look forward to using the new scheduler features).

[Niphlod]

there's a scheduler monitor plugin too.

[Alec Taylor]

For Windows PyDot is the native Python solution; which unlike
PyGraphViz; doesn't require C extensions built.

Will have a go at abstracting the implementation so either can be used
first chance I get (probably not starting for another 7 days)

[António Ramos]

Why dont you use a javascript library for the graph? 

This way you dont have problems with with windows/linux 

2013/3/6 Alec Taylor <alec.t...@gmail.com>

[Phyo Arkar]

D3.js is far better than pydot , pygraphviz .

[Alec Taylor]

TBH: They're all lacking.

The best option would be to get model import with wwwsqldesigner working:
https://github.com/ondras/wwwsqldesigner

Using just JavaScript, it currently allows you to visually design your
database schemas.

At the moment it only supports export to web2py DAL; but if someone
can add in import from web2py that would be the optimal solution :)

[Paolo Caruccio]

For a similar project please see https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py/6obMbP6OY6A/QfjoDpZqCJAJ

It uses javascript libraries and it is simple to implement.

I didn't tested extensively so please report your feedback. 

[Adnan Smajlovic]

Thanks for a new version. Will upgrade production tonight or tomorrow morning :)

When using the "New application wizard", cannot add new input row for new tables at "Step 2: Tables" neither by clicking on the plus signal nor by pressing ENTER. 

Same happens on "Step 3: Fields for table "auth_user" (1 of 1)" and on "Step 4: Pages".

Besides that, seems to be working properly...

Thanks for the new version!

Cheers!

I had the same problem. In the Wizard 2.4.2 the buttons [+] end [-] don't work.

Thanks, thanks for the new version.

[Paolo Caruccio]

just submitted a proposal patch on issue tracker https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/detail?id=1358

[Massimo Di Pierro]

This should now be fixed. Can you check?

[Marco Túlio Cícero de M. Porto]

Hi,

I just tested and it still doesn't work.

Windows XP

Python 2.7.3
Web2py - Current (2.4.2 2013-03-04 03:26:21)  (Stable)

Browsers: Internet Explorer 8, Chrome (Version 25.0.1364.160 m), Firefox (19.0.2).

I haven't tested on other versions of Windows (such as Vista and 7 for ex) and also on Linux, once I'm not at home. But as soon as I can I'll try on other OS.

Cheers,

Marco Tulio
