I'd also like to change that error message "value already in database or
empty" as I find it a pointless message.
But I tried with db.auth_user.email.requires[0].error_message = T("The
email you have entered has already been registered.")
and it doesn't seem to change anything. Am I misplacing this? I put it in
the db.py file after the
auth.define_tables(username=False, signature=False)
Thanks
