You have to set auth.settings.email_case_sensitive = True to *not *get that behavior.

On a more serious note, although most email systems are case insensitive nowadays it is allowed by the RFC to be case sensitive so it can be a different email. In the real world, I had to lowercase as well because I had support calls every day of people that could not login. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.

students log into this site i've had. and they type all kinds of crazy stuff. i don't want to preserve what the students type because students are inconsistent when they login. so i want to force it to lowercase so at least i know what is definitely stored in the db. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.

[web2py] Re: auth_user automatically lowercase all email fields
That's already the default behavior. If you wanted to preserve the case entered by the user, you would do: auth.settings.email_case_sensitive = True Anthony On Monday, April 8, 2019 at 9:40:52 AM UTC-4, lucas wrote: > > hello one and all, > > i'm using web2py 2.17>. > > what is the best method to impose and automatically update the email field > to all lowercase characters without making the user have to retype the > email??? i want web2py to lowercase no matter its a new registration > (insert) or profile (update). > > thank you in advance. lucas > -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
