massimo, i need to be able to redirect the user after registration,
not login. But only when the user has clicked on an invitation link -
i.e. not always. It seems to me the auth.settings.register_next is
not working (or i do not understand how it works).
I see in the default user controller that this redirect:
redirect(URL(r=request,f='user',args='login',vars=dict(_next=next)))
passes in the url to go to after successful login, and this works as
expected. It handles the case where a user was sent an invitation link
and WAS ALREADY a registered user,
but this statement:
auth.settings.register_next = next
does not seem to do anything
Lastly I do not see where the default user controller get invoked
after register, but before it auto-logs the user in. In other words I
do not know where to put my code and what would signal it.
