I tried to store and reload the session the following way
in db.py i added
import pickle
#--------------------------
def session_load(form = None):
global session
auth_session = db(db.auth_session.user ==
auth.user.id).select().first()
session = pickle.loads(auth_session.session)
def session_save():
if auth.is_logged_in():
auth_session = db(db.auth_session.user ==
auth.user.id).select().first()
if not auth_session: db.auth_session.insert(user =
auth.user.id, session = pickle.dumps(session))
else: auth_session.update_record(session =
pickle.dumps(session))
#--------------------------
auth=Auth(globals(),db) # authentication/
authorization
auth.settings.login_onaccept = session_load
saving works fine but loading the session does not work
whenever I load it the contents of the loaded session is lost, why?
