I'm working on a form to let the site administrator edit everything
that's part of a user's record in the auth.user table. I want to be
able to edit the registration key, reset passwords, etc. This code is
almost working, except that when I want to only update the
registration key, it also clobbers the password field instead of
leaving it alone. I'm surprised, because I expected that if 'password'
wasn't defined in the dictionary, that no update would happen to that
field.
Here is how my password field is defined in db.py:
db.Field('password', 'password', readable=False, label='Password',
requires=[IS_NOT_EMPTY(),CRYPT()]),
This is the controller code that defines the form and tries to let the
administrator leave the password unchanged by leaving the password
field blank:
form=SQLFORM
(auth.settings.table_user,user_id,ignore_rw=True,deletable=True)
if 'password' in request.vars and request.vars['password'] == '' and \
IS_NOT_EMPTY in map(type,form.table['password'].requires):
for r in form.table['password'].requires:
if type(r) == IS_NOT_EMPTY:
original_is_not_empty_object = r
form.table['password'].requires.remove(r)
del request.vars['password']
else:
original_is_not_empty_object = None
if form.accepts(request.vars, session, keepvalues=True):
response.flash=T("Form accepted input")
if original_is_not_empty_object:
form.table['password'].requires.append
(original_is_not_empty_object)
request.vars.clear()
elif form.errors:
response.flash=T("Oops, form is invalid.")
----
I'm running on GAE, btw - would that handle record updates
differently?
And do I need to replace the IS_NOT_EMPTY() after removing it?
thanks
Dan
