return dict(form=auth())
I am using the specified functions to expose methods as below -
# ---- User functions ---
def login(): return dict(form=auth.login())
def register(): return dict(form=auth.register())
def retrieve_password(): return dict(form=auth.reset_password())
def logout(): return dict(form=auth.logout())
def profile(): return dict(form=auth.profile())
and the corresponding files reside in \views\ *not in* \views\default - I
am not sure if the application is even picking up these files.
Note - I have extended the Auth (auth_user) table and added workspace and
other fields - This will be specified everytime I add a new user. I would
filter out the results as you mentioned but only after all the login stuff
works properly.
auth.settings.extra_fields['auth_user'] = [
Field ('workspace', length=128),
Sincerely,
Rahul
