Hello Anthony, ... I have tried the suggested line of code ... the following way, based on my function index(): in the controller the filter field is 'email_check'
so I have entered : db.auth_user.insert(**db.auth_user.email_check(form.vars)) but I get an error msg ! .. should I put it in brakets ? in parenthesis ?? .. ... I have tried it with an underscore in front of it ... .. still .. it is not working ? ... help me out here .. please ... and I am also supposing that the timestamp field will be updated automatically ... please advise Don On Tuesday, 26 June 2012 08:23:57 UTC-4, Anthony wrote: > > db.auth_user.insert(**db.auth_user._filter_fields(form.vars)) > > That will filter out the fields that don't belong to the table. > > Anthony > > On Tuesday, June 26, 2012 8:12:39 AM UTC-4, Don_X wrote: >> >> Thank you Bruno ....I believe it would of work but ...
