Hello,
As I'm using betahaus.emaillogin[1] in my application I'm wanting to
override the generation of the username as this is a little confusing
for users as they expect to login with their email address but we're
still asking them to enter a username.
I've tried to override this as follows in my member schema:
# Overriding the id field as we're using betahaus.emaillogin
atapi.ComputedField('id',
expression = "context.setId()",
index=('membrane_tool/ZCTextIndex,lexicon_id=member_lexicon,index_type=Cosine
Measure|TextIndex:brains',
'FieldIndex:brains'),
widget=atapi.ComputedWidget(label='User name'),
regfield=0,
user_property=True,
),
and I've setup the setId method on the member content type as follows
(the getName method is an accessor for a StringField where users can
enter their fullname):
def setId(self, id=''):
"Overriding the username generator"
import pdb;pdb.set_trace()
if self.getName():
if not getattr(self, 'subscribememberid', None):
names = self.getName().split()
if len(names) > 1:
firstname = names[0]
surname = names[-1]
id = firstname[:1]+surname
else:
id = names[0]
catalog = getToolByName(self.context, 'portal_catalog')
existing = catalog(id=id, portal_type='Subscribemember')
if len(existing) != 0:
try:
i = int(id[-1])
id = id+str(i+1)
except:
id = id+'1'
return self.setId(id)
else:
setattr(self, 'subscribememberid', True)
else:
return getattr(self, 'subscribememberid')
As you can see I just grab the first initial of the firstname and the
surname and then check that no user exists for that username.
When I run my functional test, though, it doesn't create the user and
doesn't even enter the setId method (as you can see I've got a pdb in
there). Its supposed to return 'You have been registered as a member.'
but instead I get 'Changes saved.' as a status message.
Any tips on how I *should* be implementing this?
Thanks,
Tim
