@Roland

thanks for the typo catch.

The other parts you’re commenting come into play later, and are only used as a place holder.

Ultimately however whether something is in a controller explicitly or not is a style choice.

in submitnewthread the line:
c.username = uses.get_current_user(self)
doesn’t parse, as uses doesn’t exist (should probably be user).

Also, the line
import pylonsforum.model.users
that is supposed to be added to home.py, doesn’t fit into this scenario, as the intention probably was to write (based on text in a previous paragraph):
import pylonsforum.model.users as user

Nitpicking, I know, but I like the tutorial and would like it to be a success

Wow ! that was pretty quick.
There is similarly small nitpick with paster server – it should be paster serve.

Thanks again for posting such a nice tutorial.

@Govind nice catch and has been corrected now.

@Ryan in pylonsforum\model\ make a file named users.py and place that line in it. Updated the article text with a better explanation.

Thanks again

I am little confused as tests always complain there is no class user. Although you mention module users(which I think should be model user).

def get_current_user(self):
return “rsvihla”

Which file does this code go to?

First things first – should point to “available” controller – we do not have login controller yet

map.connect(“home”, “/”, controller=”login”, action=”index”) should be
map.connect(“home”, “/”, controller=”home”, action=”index”)
