Thank you so much! I looked at your example and was able to create something simply usable. Can't believe I'm coding... # default credentials. at least *one* user must exist or the default "ticket master" user # will be created. fname='ticket' lname='master' maile='tmas...@localhost' passwd='tmaster09!' # Johnathan's suggestion on running this once. Works like a charm. # Thank you Massimo for the password part. if not db(db.auth_user.id>0).count(): ticket_master=db.auth_user.insert(first_name=fname,last_name=lname,email=maile, password=db.auth_user.password.requires[0](passwd)[0]) else: pass -- Subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/subscribe?hl=en
