ringo 1.7.0

A simple web framework with base functionality to build web applications.

Ringo
=====
.. image:: https://drone.io/bitbucket.org/ti/ringo/status.png

Ringo is a small Python based high level web application framework build with
Pyramid. Ringo tries to make it very easy to build form based web application
to manage your data. Because ringo provides many basic features which are
often used in modern webapplications it greatly speeds up development. But it
is also flexible and offers many ways to configure the layout, behaviour and
workflow of your application. See the list of :ref:`features` for more
details.

Ringo comes with an application scaffold which can be used as a boilerplate for
your application development. See the development part in the documentation
for more details on how to build a Ringo based application.

Features
========
Ringo provides some basic features which are useful if you build your
web application based on Ringo:

* Easy extendible and configurable modular architekture,
* Basic actions for every modul including:
- Search and sortable listing (storeable and configurable)
- Basic CRUD actions
- CSV, JSON import and export
* Role based authorisation.
* Authentication with email registration and password reminders
* Powerfull statemachine to model workflows in moduls.
* Layout and validation of forms using the `Formbar <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/formbar>`_ library
* Versioning of forms (see what changed to the last version)
* Widely configurable from the web UI.
* Nice console client for various administration tasks.
* ...

Getting Started
---------------
The fastest way to get an impression of Ringo`s core functionallity is to
start the standalone application of ringo with the following steps:

- $ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/ti/ringo

- $ python setup.py develop

- $ ringo-admin db init

- $ invoke docs

- $ pserve development.ini


1.7
===
- Ringo no longer does automatic extension registering on server
startup. Registering a new extension often will write changes to the
database. This is dangerous as this will potentially lead into
failing later migrations. So Ringo will now ask the user what to do on
server start. Default is to abort the registration.
- Added JQuery UI library. This library is currently not used by ringo itself
but it provides basic functionality to other applications.
- Added breadcrumbs feature to Ringo. To be able to use the breadcrumbs you
need to define a sitetree (See lib/sitetree.py for more details.) The
default sitetree of ringo is empty which means no breadcrumbs are shown.
- Added "--format" flag for the "ringo-admin db loaddata" command to define
the format of the inputfile. It is now possible to use the CSV importer
also.

1.6
===
- Add functionallity for users so set their standin. Basically this is adding
and removing other users to the default group of the user. To use this
feature the user needs at least read access to the users he wants to set as
standin.
- Changes favicon format to "ico" to be more compatible with versions of IE.
Improved overwriting of the favicon. The code for favicons are now placed in
favicons.mako which can be overwritten by other applications.
- Fixed handling of bundled delete requests. Two things has been changed:
1. Call the callback before actually deleting it to allow some cleanup.
2. Put the flush of the db operations at the end of the method to
avoid "Closed connection" errors which happens for bundled delete
request after the session has been flushed for the first item.


1.5
===
- Added new configuration variable 'app.mode' to be able to run the
application in a different mode. If set the application will give some
visual indication the the application is in a different mode.
- Changed default rendering of overview pages. Instead of using a
complex overview with advanced search filters e.g Ringo now uses a
simplified overview on default. The behaviour can be changed by either
setting a global `layout.advanced_oveview` configuration varible in
the ini file or per table configuration in the json config of the
table. In the simplified overview features like pagination are currently disabled
regardless what is configured in the table configuration. This may change in
future versions.
- Changed click behaviour in overview tables. Rows are now clickable. With the
change to the simplified overview code the way to select items from the
overview changed also. Links has been removed completely now. Instead the
whole row is clickable.

1.4
===
- Dropped SQLite support because of missing support of data migrations using
alembic. Postgresql is the new default for the DMBS system.
Added psycopg2 as requirement. Actually Sqlite support was broken since
version 1.2.
- Removed fixtures for initial data. Data is now added to the migration
scripts.
- Added new "--format" flag for the "db savadata" command to determine the
export format. Default is JSON.
- Added "downgrade" command to the "ringo-admin db" command.
- Fixed affix of sidebar in forms.

1.3
===
- Added new configuration varibale (auth.timeout_warning) to configure how
many secods before the autologout happens a warning will be shown.
- Improved message in autologout warning dialog.
- Improved wording in autologout page (User sees when autologout happend)

1.2.2
=====
- BaseFactory now take an optional argument for a request.
- The callback parameter in the views can now take a list of callbacks too.
The handle_callback method is able to handle this correct. Please note that
this mechanism needs some effort of the developer to build this list in the
view function.
- Add additional callback parameter to the create view of users. This allows
other views to overwrite the user create view and add custom callbacks.

1.2.1
=====
- Fixed circular dependency error on migration using alembic after adding
uid and gid fields for users and usergroups which where self referencing.

1.2.0
=====
Beside the major changes which are listed below this version include many
small bugfixes and improvements in the code, usability and performance.

New:
- Add option to provide external validators to the update and create view.
They will be used for additional validation of the form.
- Implemented a simple Warning Dialog if the user leaves of form without
saving the changed data first.
- Added simple spinner which pops up if the loading of the page takes longer
than 400ms.
- Added new "ringo-admin app init" command to initalise a folder containing
a initial config file.
- Password must be at least 12 chars long and include 2 non-letters.
- Added support for loading configurations in case of multi-derived
applications. Added new app.base configuration variable.
- Added new helper command to copie the static files of formbar into to
correct location in ringo.
- Added option to name the authentification cookie. Needed if there are more
than one ringo application on a server.
- Added a warning dialog which shows if the user leaves a form without saving
it before.
- Do permission checks on submitted values for relations on POST requests.
Users are not allowed to set items in relations for which they do not have
read permissions.
- Log changes of uid and gid.

Changed:
- Enabled Mako default HTML escaping for Template rendering globally in ini
file and explicit for form rendering, dialog rendering and listing
rendering. Excluded html escaping for messages and the admin scripts as the
rendered result is not aimed to be displayed in a browser.
- Seperated requirements for testing, installation etc.
- Static files from formbar are only copied on application start if there are
not already the formbar files located in ringo. (Need some work). See
"formbar_static" command.
- Fixed typos in german translation.
- Changed behavior of the warning for a nearing auto logout. Instead of
showing after 95% of the logout time is up it will now be shown 3 Minutes
before the actual logout happens.
- The modules for Roles, Users and Usergroups are now inherited from the
"Owned" mixin class.
- Changed setting the GID for new items. Changed order of determining
the GID (inverse order). First try to get the default_gid from the
modul. If not present use the default_gid from the user. Of no
default_gid is set at all leave the GID of the new item blank.

Removed:
- Removed group role feature. This feature was only rarly used.
- app.url configuration variable which was intended to use in scenarios where
the application is not hosted under the root of the server. See
documentation for deployment for more information on how to setup the
application now.
- Static files of formbar are no longer copied into the static files of ringo
on application start. These files are now dynamically loaded from formbar.
- Invoke command "formbar_static"

1.1.0
=====
New:
- Added "openmodal" option to LinkfieldRenderer
- Added "action" option to LinkfieldRenderer to be able to render other
actions then read and update links.
- Added _get_permission classmethod in the Baseitem class. This class can be
overwritten to implement a custom way to build the ACL for this class and
instances.
- Added info page after login if the account has been disabled.
- Added --path option to load and save fixtures to be able to load alternative
fixtures.
- Implement setting dot-separated values in items.
- Implemented fuzzy search. The search now supports the "~" operator to
trigger a fuzzy search which uses the doublemetaphon as primary algorithm
and falls back to the levenshtein algorithm as secondary it the primary
fails.

Changed:
- Only show "Homepage" on index page if the user is actually logged in.
- Fixed DTListRenderer which was only rarly used and seems to be broken for
some time. The fix onyl gets it working again. There is still work to do to
make it work as the default ListRenderer (Display of Link e.g).
- Allow custom title and body in confirmation dialog.
- Use form parameter when getting the create form. Usefull when you want to
use an alternative form to create an item.
- Hide attribute of ActionItems also affects overview lists.
- "ringo-admin modul add" command does not generate SQL code anymore. Instead
of this it will print out code for the fixtures.
- Make the application base url configurable using the app.url config
parameter.
- Added title tooltips in context menu
- Only save paths in the history and not full qualified URLs.


1.0.0
=====
WARNING! This update is a major upgrade of Ringo which may break your application!
It removes many of the core modules in the application! This will break your
application if you use one of the removed modules. In this case stay with the
0.18.0 version.

The following modules has been removed:

- Removed Log module
- Removed Tags module
- Removed Printtemplate module
- Removed Appointment module
- Removed Comments module
- Removed File module
- Removed News module
- Removed Todo module

The modules will be converted into extensions.

With version 0.16.2 Ringo supports loading extensions to enhance the
functionality of the application. This should be the default way to add
optional features to a Ringo based application. Since the removed modules all
implement general features which are optional to your application and aren't a
basic requirement, they has been removed from the core now. This reduces the
code base and make the core faster and more secure. The later is an important
precondition for post 1.0 goal: Getting much more secure to get ready to build
rock solid web application in Ringo.

New:
- Added Label field to the roles module.
- Added new "fixture" command in ringo-admin to load and save fixtures.
- Added new "revision" db command in ringo admin to generate a new
(autogenerated) alembic migration script.
- Added fixtures for initial data.
- Support german locale in datefields. (Requires new formbar)
- Added showall option for Listfieldrenderer to show all elements regardless
if the user is allowed to read the item. If the user is not allowed to read
the item no link to open the item will be rendererd.
- When creating a new user a usergroup for the new user will be generatated
automatically. The new usergroup will be set as default usergroup for the
new user if no other group is set while creation.

Changed:
- The documentation is now opened in a new browser window instead of opening
it in a modal popup window.
- Modal dialogs can not be closed by clicking in the background.
- Reimplemented openmodal function in listingfields. Has been removed by
accident.
- Changed behaviour of the onlylinked attribute in listingfields. Also removes
the checkboxes now as there is no reason to link/unlink items if only the
linked items should be displayed.
- Improved user language detection in Javascript. Language setting is now
determined by calling a remote function in the Rest API.
- The create method of factories now require a values attribute! It is not
optional but can be empty to get the old behaviour.

Removed:
- Pre 1.0 Migration scripts removed. The older migrations scripts are now
replaced by one single script. The alembic version of this version is still
the same so that future migration scripts can be applied to old applications
as well.

0.18.0
======
- Added option to open items in a modal window.
- Show spinner when opening items in a modal window.
- Set requirment of formbar to >= 0.9.4.
- Added 'url_prefix' and 'url_scheme' the server configuration in the template
of the ini file in base scaffold. This is usefull if the server is running
behind a reverse proxy.
- Added options to configure the startup of the ODFConverter. On default the
converter is not started! This is a change to the previous behaviour!
- Loading data in ringo-admin command can optinally be done by using the ID of
the item instead of the default UUID. This is usefull for initially loading
data after creating a database in case not all entries in the database have
a UUID.
- Add support for import and and export of NM-relations. (Experimental). To
enable this feature simply add the --include-relations to the savedata
command.
- Improved translations. Added missing calls to translate function at various
places.
- Added experimental support for exanding values for dotted attributes (e.g
relation.value).
- #77 Support alembic >= 0.7.1
This will detect missing foreign keys in your datatable.
Important:
* Please update to a recent version of alembic (currently 0.7.4)
* In case you are using SQLite: Merge
ringo/alembic/versions/46edfd16f379_.py migration script to your migration
scripts and apply it. See
http://alembic.readthedocs.org/en/latest/branches.html for more details on
merging. This will fix errors in the base ringo model.
* Please generate a new migration and apply it. If your missing any foreign
keys they will be generated now. If you are using SQLite please refer to
ringo/alembic/versions/46edfd16f379_.py and see how migration is done for
the base tables.
- #87 Remove alembic_sqlite dependeny.
As alembic now supports some missing operations like add and drop column on
SQLite the helper library alembic_sqlite is not needed anymore.
Important:
* Please search for the string "drop_column_default" and remove this and the
following codeblock from your existing migration files.

views.base.list ... views.base.export. Removed views/base.py.
* Moved REST logic into the corresponding new view modules.
* Moved methods and code from views.json into the new views.api and
views.response modules
* views.api: Modul with method used by the client.
* views.respose: Modul with special Response objects.
* views.request: Modul with methods (handlers) with common logic for various views.
* views.helpers : Modul with helpers methods (getters) to get things like to forms or
information from the request.

Refactoring of model:

Search for these methods in all *.py and *.mako files and adapt the call.

0.15.2
======
* Use app title instead of app name as prefix in subject of notification mails.
* Fix urls in import, export dialogs. Use get_current_route_patch instead of
URL (causes errors with SSL behind an reverse proxy)

0.15.0
=======
IMPORTANT: Application will need some work on application initialisation to
stay compatible with this release:

1. rename add_route to setup_modul
2. Move setup of modules into a "includeme" method.
3. Use config.include("appname") to call the includeme method.
4. setup_finished callback is removed.

- Add preview tabs to the form editor, which allow to see a basic preview
of the form. The preview does not support any dynamic now application
specific renderers.
- Write the formbar specific CSS and JS on application start into the ringo
static folder.
- Do not include the JS and CSS code of formbar into the document. Instead use
to dynamically written CSS and JS files to reduce the size of the generated
document.
- Improved password encryption. Replaced use of pythons built in hashlib.md5
algorithm with the use of the passlib library
(https://pythonhosted.org/passlib/index.html) for more secure password.

error)

0.11.0
------
- Add service under "rest/rule/evaluate" to evaluate rules. Service is used
for client side evaluation of rules in the formulars.
- Provide the user roles as "_roles" value in the form. This value can be used

unused.
- Changed rendering of ringo specif dropdown.
- Add option to configure group and owner inhertinace on creating new
instances in the Owned-Mixin.

0.10.0
------
- Add new requirement of py3o.template library.
- Add Printtemplate modul. Printtemplates are ODT or ODS documents which are
used as templates for generating nice looking documents. On processing the
template placeholders in the template will be replaced by values of the
item. The template can include basic python expressions. E.g to iterate over
lists.

enhance configuration of rendering.
- Render permissions of a role as FieldList.
- Add TodolistRenderer. Render todos in the home view.

0.9.2
-----
- Add Versioned mixin. This mixin can be used to store different versions of
an item. On each update of the item the serialized values of the item will
be saved in the version table. The versions are later used to show
differences between the current and a given prior version in the form.
- Add get_values function to the BaseItem to return a dictionary containing
all values of the item. Optionally the items can be serialized (this
is a very simple serialisation).
- Reorganised automatic logging and changing states. The former version was
implemented as update handler in the mixin classes and was based
on the SQLAlchemy "history" functionallity. Unfortunately this history
wasn't as much reliable as expected in some corner cases. The update handler
was removed and changing the states and logging are now implemented directly
in the save method of the item.

0.9.1
-----
- Replaced route_url with route_path.
- Fixed rendering of links in the dropdown renderer. Consider user permission
on link generation (read/update).
- Added options to the Table renderer to configure the responsive behaviour of
table columns. You can now define which columns should be visible on which
screenwidth. Defaults to show only the first column.
- Workded on Formeditor. Implemented selecting a form when creating new
(blobform) items.
- Introduced warnings (formbar 393:bbd7a5192e29). Validate the item on loading
to generate warning.
- Handlers in the statemachine now get the transition as additional parameter.
This is usefull das the transformation gives access to the state,
statemachine and optionally the request.
- Use sorting configuration from table config in DTLists.
- Added paginated DTList.
- Check if the user is still allowed to edit the item after he edited it
(Statechange). If not call alternative read URL.
- Improved performance. Do some caching here and there.

0.9.0
-----
- Added comment modul
- Added tags modul
- Added todo modul
- Added forms module
- Write save method for items like the save method of formbar.
Overwrite the method in Blobforms.
- Overwrite get_attr, get_value method in blobform to handle getting
values from the datafield.
- Think about how to handle multiple forms for one item. Currently
this is hardcoded on itemlevel which form should be used.
- Added UUID field for each BaseItem
- Implement simple Import and Export. Only single items. No relations.
- Added JSON Importer and Exporter
- Added import and export functions in the view for ringo modules
except for the modul modul
- Small layout fixes (flash messages)
- Modules can now be placed in the "user menu" in the top right. Improved
layout of this menu with textual headers.
- Some code cleanup
- Start using "invoke" command for different tasks like testing or building
the documentation.

0.8.1
-----
- Bugfixes for API Change: BaseLists are not initialized with request instead of request.db
- Improved documentation
- Some fixes in the basic scaffold. Improved alembic integration.

0.8.0
-----
- Added log modul

-----
- Added news modul
- Use "width" from tableconfig also in DTListings.
- Rows in DTLists are now clickable to if the user is allowed to update the
item then the update action will be called on click. Else call the read action.
- Fix URLs for the ReST-Api to match basically the typical URL Schema for CRUD
actions:

* GET /items - Retrieves a list of items
* GET /items/12 - Retrieves a specific item
* POST /items - Creates a new item
* PUT /items/12 - Updates item #12
* PATCH /items/12 - Partially updates item #12
* DELETE /items/12 - Deletes #12

Note, that not all actions are actually implemented yet, but for now the url
schema has beed adapted.
