2.6.1 - 2.6.4

Attention all users: For pre 2.6 applications to work with web2py >=2.6, you must copy static/js/web2py.js, controllers/appadmin.py, and views/appadmin.html from the welcome app to your own apps (all of them).

Attention production users: The updated handlers and examples are in handlers/ and examples/. The updated ones will not override the existing ones. To use the new ones it is not sufficient to upgrade web2py, you also need to copy the desired handler/example in the root web2py/ folder.

Attention MySQL users: The length of string fields changed from 255 to 512 bytes. If you have migrations enabled this will trigger a large migration. To prevent it, first set migrate_enabled=False, upgrade, check everything is ok, then add length=255 to your string Fields, then re-enable migrations with migrate_enabled=True if needed.

timestamp=SQLTable(None,'timestamp',

                          writable=False,
                          default=request.now),
             SQLField('modified_on','datetime',
                          writable=False,
                          default=request.now,update=request.now))

and use it in all your tables

  • form=SQLFORM(db.circle,request.args[-1])
  • and you get a create form if the URL ends in /0, you get an update
  • form if the URL ends in /[valid_record_id]

make a display form in two possible ways:

  • form=SQLFORM(db.circle,record,readonly=True)
  • form=SQLFORM(db.circle,record_id,readonly=True)

make an update form in two possible ways:

  • form=SQLFORM(db.circle,record)
  • form=SQLFORM(db.circle,record_id)

make a create form in two possible ways:

  • form=SQLFORM(db.circle)
  • form=SQLFORM(db.circle,0)

make a form that automatically computes area

  • pi=3.1415
  • form=SQLFOM(db.circle)
  • if form.accepts(request.vars,
  • onvalidation=lambda form: form.vars.area=pi*form.vars.radius2): ...

make the radius appear in bold in display and table

  • db.circle.radius.represent=lambda value: B(value)

automatically timestamp when record is modified

  • db.circle.modified_on.update=request.now

automatically timestamp when record cretaed

  • db.circle.modified_on.default=request.now

do not show now in display forms

  • db.circle.modified_on.readable=False

do not show area in create/edit forms

  • db.circle.area.writable=False

add a comment in the forms

  • db.circle.area.comment="(this is a comment)"

1.56

  • Now you can do:
db.define_table('cirlce',
    db.Field('radius','double'),
    db.Field('area','double'),
    db.Field('modified_on','datetime'))
