I just want to know if the built-in authentication system has a hook somewhere so I can do it easily. As I said, I am very new to this framework. I am still in the phase in which I risk reinventing the wheel ten times a day if I don't refrain from being too "creative".
- Is there something like auth.settings.register_onvalidation? (It seems to me that there is not, but I may be wrong) - Should I subclass Auth and make a new register() method? - Should I mess around with Auth.register() itself? - Should I play with get_or_create_user()? cpicada.wordpress.com On 30 oct, 15:33, Yarko Tymciurak <resultsinsoftw...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 9:23 AM, cpicada <cpic...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Yes, but it doesn't do exactly what I am looking for.
