Hi I am new to Web2py, so I apologize in advance if this is basic.
So, I am wanting to create a custom login, that does not require someone to enter an email. So, following some of the examples I have found out there, I created a custom auth table, with a username, etc. (I paste the code below). So my issue is, that on my local instance this is working fine. I am able to create multiple new accounts that do not require an email. However, when I attempt to do the same on an amazon instance I created, I am getting the following message: <class 'sqlite3.IntegrityError'> UNIQUE constraint failed: auth_user.email So clearly this is related to the auth_user.email column requiring it to be unique (and I can create at least one account, and if I delete that record, I can create a new account again). However, since it is forcing me to have the email field be unique, this means I cannot ever create more than the initial email account (this is even if I change Field('email' to be unique=False) I could create a custom form, and generate some dummy unique email each time, etc. But is there not some standard way this should work? Or some way through the DAL that I can change the "unique" field requirement on this particular column, so that I quit having this issue? Or, is it maybe how I implemented the custom auth table that is causing the issue (code below)? Thanks for any assistance. And here is my code: in default.py def index(): #some action here return dict(form=auth.register()) in db.py db.define_table( auth.settings.table_user_name, Field('first_name', length=128, default='', writable=False, readable=False), Field('last_name', length=128, default='', writable=False, readable=False, ), Field('username', length=128, default='', unique=True), Field('email', length=128, default='', unique=False, writable=False, readable=False), # required Field('password', 'password', length=512, # required readable=False, label='Password'), Field('registration_key', length=512, # required writable=False, readable=False, default=''), Field('reset_password_key', length=512, # required writable=False, readable=False, default=''), Field('registration_id', length=512, # required writable=False, readable=False, default='')) ## do not forget validators custom_auth_table = db[auth.settings.table_user_name] # get the custom_auth_table custom_auth_table.first_name.requires = IS_NOT_EMPTY(error_message=auth.messages.is_empty) custom_auth_table.last_name.requires = IS_NOT_EMPTY(error_message=auth.messages.is_empty) custom_auth_table.username.requires = IS_NOT_IN_DB(db, custom_auth_table.username) custom_auth_table.password.requires = [IS_STRONG(min=15, special=0, upper=0), CRYPT()] auth.settings.table_user = custom_auth_table # tell auth to use custom_auth_table ## before auth.define_tables() auth.define_tables(username=True, signature=False, migrate=False) auth.settings.remember_me_form=False auth.settings.actions_disabled = ['retrieve_username', 'request_reset_password'] auth.settings.login_next = URL([some redirect here]) auth.settings.register_next = URL([some redirect here]) ## configure auth policy auth.settings.registration_requires_verification = False auth.settings.registration_requires_approval = False #auth.settings.reset_password_requires_verification = True -- 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.
