Hi, I am following the example in chapter 22 of Philipps book. I am setting up the PAU so that new users can register with the site. I am extending the example so that the information entered when creating the Principal is copied to the Annotations. Thus I can present the user with a one step sign-up.
I have changed the code on creating the new principal. I retrieve the principal, adapt it to the IMemberInfo class and set the email Annotation to the login name. Here is the code. principal_id = folder.signUp(login, password, title) pau = getUtility(IAuthentication) pi = PrincipalInfo(principal_id, login, title, u'') factory = FoundPrincipalFactory(pi) principal = factory(pau) memberinfo = IMemberInfo(principal) memberinfo.email = login This code runs but the metadata change is not saved to the database. My questions are ... Can I set metadata on an object in the interaction in which the object is being created? I am assuming that the principal returned by the FoundPrincipalFactory is the same as a normal principal when the use is logged in. Is this assumption valid? Is the meta data approach the best approach? Would it be easier to replace the InternalPrincipal with a content object which contains my new data? If I do that can I access that data via the standard principal machinery?
