1)Go to web2py directory in your system.

2) Once there, go to applications -> eden -> modules -> templates -> default.

3) Here open the file ‘config.py’ in a text editor.

4) In this file, you’ll have to find the following lines and remove the # (number sign) from the starting of these lines.

settings.project.mode_3w = True

settings.project.community = True

5) Save the file and restart web2py.

Now you should be able to see those options.
