[web2py] Overwriting the default "register" action

[David J.]

Currently I have a session variable called site_id;
Its a read only variable we set when the user comes to one of the sites;

ON the default register pages; I am trying to store this variable when 
the user registers;

I am trying to figure out how to "extend" the default "register" command;

Basically what I am trying to do is store site_id into the databases 
after a user registers;

In a separate table; I read that I can add fields to the default auth 
table; I do not want to take this approach;

Theoretically there can be a many to one relationship;

I see this in the docs;

defregister():
    form=SQLFORM  
<http://web2py.com/book/default/docstring/SQLFORM>.factory(db.client,db.address)
    ifform.accepts(request  
<http://web2py.com/book/default/docstring/request>.vars):
        id=db.client.insert(**db.client._filter_fields(form.vars))
        form.vars.client=id
        id=db.address.insert(**db.address._filter_fields(form.vars))
        response  
<http://web2py.com/book/default/docstring/response>.flash='Thanks for filling 
the form'
    returndict(form=form)

Also not sure why you use the ** in front of **db.address

Thanks.




Thanks.
