[web2py] Re: username and email login (auth)
I tried using this code to let a user login with either username or email. Previously it was only allowing email. It's still trying to validate the entry as an email address though, and if I enter a username it gives me an error Invalid Email. How can I eliminate or circumvent that email validation?

Re: [web2py] Re: username and email login (auth)
Create a IS_NOT_EMAIL() validator : class IS_NOT_EMAIL: def __init__(self, error_message='You can\'t use email as username'): self.e = error_message def __call__(self, value): if not IS_EMAIL()(value)[1]: return (value, self.e) return (value, None) Base on this!! I wonder why we don't set flag on validators for reverse validation when apply, for instance : IS_EMAIL(..., *complement=True*) will return an error if input is email...

Then, depending on that, dynamically set auth.settings.login_userfield to either 'email' or 'username', and then call auth.login() as usual.

For that, I think you might need a custom login method. On the other hand, if you simply want to allow users to have a username, but always login with email address, you should be able to do: auth.settings.login_userfield = 'email' Anthony On Friday, December 9, 2011 7:22:57 AM UTC-5, Francisco Costa wrote: lots of users on login form submit their email instead of the username.. it seems that auth.define_tables(username=True) forces username login but it is possible to have both?
