At the lowest approximation you just need from gluon.tools import * auth=Auth(globals(),db) ### (1) crud=Crud(globals(),db) ### (2)
in model and def user(): return dict(form=auth()) ### (1) def data(): return dict(form=crud()) ### (2) def download(): return response.download(request,db) 1) exposes all the authentication stuff. 2) exposes crud for all your tables (it can be restricted) read more here: http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/examples/default/tools On Feb 13, 4:45 am, annet <[email protected]> wrote: > I went through the web2py manual and the Web Design Patterns and T2 > Components PDF.
