plugins

[Massimo Di Pierro]

I did a very poor job at keeping track of community created plugins.

If you are aware of a plugin for web2py that is not listed on
http://web2py.com/plugins can please add a link to this thread with a
small description?

Here are some plugins, appliances, and tools/utilities that I don't think are linked anywhere from web2py.com. Just some links I've collected, so not sure about the status/quality of most of these.

 

Plugins:

• Editable jqGrid: http://www.ebansoftware.net/node/14?editable_jqgrid/default/index
• File Previews: http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_frm/thread/9e6bd4faaf2da3b7

There are also a few things on web2pyslices.com:

• Client Tools for web2py: http://www.web2pyslices.com/main/slices/take_slice/8
• Star Rating Plugin: http://www.web2pyslices.com/main/slices/take_slice/112
• Mercurial Plugin: http://www.web2pyslices.com/main/slices/take_slice/108
• Pingback Plugin: http://www.web2pyslices.com/main/slices/take_slice/111
• Site Search Plugin: http://www.web2pyslices.com/main/slices/take_slice/115, https://bitbucket.org/hc/plugin_h_search/src/50d31f18156c/plugin_h_search/

I'm not sure the latter three are official plugins (as defined in ch. 13), but may be worth listing anyway.

For the the pyMantis project I created the following plugins. Since
they are integrated into the access management of pyMantis some of
them will need some small modifications to make them work with other
applications.

download the web2py app package from, the os releases are currently
broken but will be fixed in the next days
http://pymantis.org/pymantis_server/plugin_release/download

plugin_calendar
just a test to use the jquery calendar plugin, and some code of the
calendar app (???) to create a google like calendar (will need much
more development)

plugin_chat
fb like chat plugin, but for all registered users in one chat (uses
simple polling and has some z-index issues, but is already quite cool)

plugin_comments
my version of the comment plugin (not so great)

plugin_doc
should automatically create documentation of your web2py app using
docstrings (will need much more work, since lib2to3 has to be used
(inspection does not work on web2py apps) and I got tied up with other
things, but I guess it will be worth it if you need a good looking
documentation of you web2py app code)

plugin_filepreview
create HTML previews of filetypes pdf, doc, xls, images,

plugin_forcedirected
create forecedirected graphs in your browser using html5 canvas

plugin_useradmin
a nice visual use admin (create users, edit userinformation, create
groups, add/remove users to/from group, block/unblock/validate
users, ...)

plugin_mailinglist
creates a mailinglist/group similar to this one (still under
development)

plugin_release
this is the latest one, and I am quite proud of it
creates releases of your software (standalone win, src/linux, mac -
w2p packages) with a client and a server instance that allows clients
to automatically check for updates of your web2py app with a nice
"update" button

plugin_restapidoc
create a nice looking documentation of your web2py REST interface

plugin_tagging
Tagging plugin, this is not the same as the one that is on the plugin
list. This one allows you to put multiple tag clouds and forms on one
page, it is uses specific and only works for logged in uses.

plugin_tagging_hyperlink
similar to the above but for hyperlinks

plugin_tagging_miriam
similar to the above but for MIRIAM annotations (http://biomodels.net/
miriam/) needs libSBAnnotation (svn it from https://sourceforge.net/projects/semanticsbml/)
in your site-packages (still under development)

plugin_tagging_pubmed
similar to the above, it uses the PubMed REST interface to get papers
from keyword or DOI/pubmed ids

plugin_tracker
bug tracker (got bored developing it so it is not so good, also
depends on plugin_comments...)

plugin_webfolder
creates a win explorer like webinterface where you can upload your
files into a treebases folder structure, use drag and drop to move
files, used plugin_filepreview to view files (itegrates with the
pyMantis access management, so you will have to modify this plugin if
you want to use this in another app)

Thanks, selecta, this is a great gift to the community. I like how you made your application so modular by building plugins, which can then be shared with the rest of us. Kudos.

I have a plugin that I wrote that I thought other people may
appreciate.

How do I make it accessible to people? When I go to http://www.web2py.com/appliances
and login, I cannot find how I add my plugin.

Thanks,

Will

[Arun K.Rajeevan]

http://www.web2pyslices.com/main/default/index post it there.

for a plugin that's the better place. 

[Will Stevens]

From what I can tell there is no way for me to upload the plugin there either.

Am I just missing something?

Will

[Arun K.Rajeevan]

Yes and no.

You can post the code there, if that's fine.

Yes, you can't upload a plugin as a zip, w2p or anything such.

It'll be a good idea to upload the code to github or bitbucket and link to the repo in web2pyclices along with some examples on how to put your plugin to any use.

Hope, this helps.

[Will Stevens]

Alright, I will set something up for sharing code with you guys...

Thanks...

Let's add Martin's Powerpack to the list: https://bitbucket.org/mulonemartin/powerpack/wiki/Home

Congratulations!
excellent work

[José L.]

selecta, the downloads from http://pymantis.org/pymantis_server/plugin_release/download don't work in any of its versions.

Do you have some control version system where I could take a look to these plugins?

Thanks.

i know but the strange thing is that i works from some locations (all
that i have access to :( ) and others not (download stalls at 99%)
it is extremely difficult to debug this since i do not have access to
a location where this happens

here you go
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tlc2/
i know i really need to clean up the project and make it nice and
available, but unfortunatly this is beyond my time constraints right
now

there are two more plugins now in pyMantis

plugin_issue
create, edit and comment issue tickets, attach w2p error tickets to
issues (so you can see the stack traces), automatically show and
create issue tickets and status if a w2p error ticket is created (need
redirect on yourapp/500), server client issue tracking with the
ability to send issue tickets to a main server (aka do you want to
send your bug report to ...), rating of issues, tagging of
issues, ....
most of the nice features are hard to demo since I do not want to
expose the w2p error tickets

plugin_wishlist
a rather project specific plugin to track wishes assign them to people
and comment them. if the wish is fulfilled you can mark it as closed.
It is similar to the issue tracker but alot more simple since it is
not made for IT stuff.

I'm very interested in the users_admin plugin because this is a
feature needed in most of my projects and using the current
appadmin.py application is not an option for the end user.
If I find any bug, would you like me to send it to you (I've already
find one at line 235 of controllers/plugin_doc.py, an unneeded comma
at the beginning of the SPAN tag)

Regards.

Hi Massimo,
                       I'm new to web2py framework. I have started learning the framework recently. We are doing a cloud based project that has to be deployed on Google App Engine. Could you suggest some important things that I need to take care when developing in web2py aiming to deploy on GAE ?

[Anthony]

There's a "Deploying on Google App Engine" section at the end of this chapter in the book: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/13

Thank you Anthony for your reply

When I click on this link I get:

Internal error

[Joe Barnhart]

One would think a wiki might be useful to collect plugin information....

or adding them to the web2py account on GitHub?
