Okay, so far I've managed to solve all the other problems but there is one that I am stuck on. This is the code-
http://web2py.pastebin.com/nQMduejZ I do not want to store the username/password in the database but I want to use the auth form for authentication. When I try to go to the login page, it throws this exception- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/ishbir/web2py/gluon/restricted.py", line 173, in restricted exec ccode in environment File "/home/ishbir/web2py/applications/linkupdater/controllers/ default.py", line 57, in <module> File "/home/ishbir/web2py/gluon/globals.py", line 96, in <lambda> self._caller = lambda f: f() File "/home/ishbir/web2py/applications/linkupdater/controllers/ default.py", line 34, in user return dict(form=auth()) File "/home/ishbir/web2py/gluon/tools.py", line 723, in __call__ return self.login() File "/home/ishbir/web2py/gluon/tools.py", line 978, in login if 'username' in table_user.fields: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'fields' Any way to overcome this?
