i think you can use format or represent to achieve it. e.g. *somewhere in models after you define auth tables* custom_auth_table = db[auth.settings.table_user_name]
custom_auth_table._format = '%(first_name)s %(last_name)s' *controllers that have SQLFORM.factory that refer to auth_user table* requires = IS_IN_DB(db, db.auth_user.id, db.auth_user._format) best regards, stifan -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
