hi, thank you for your help. I tried that with the following code (based on gluon/tools.py - method define_tables) that intended to make to make the "last_name" field optional instead of mandatory. Btw, parallel to what I want to show, I believe this example could be used as proof of concept on how to customize the authentication in AlterEgo (unless there is an easier way to do it...). Anyway, to the code:
from gluon.tools import Mail, Auth, Recaptcha db=SQLDB("sqlite://test.db")
mail=Mail() ## specify your SMTP server mail.settings.server = '
smtp.yourdomain.com:25' ## specify your email address mail.settings.sender =
'[email protected]' ## optional: specify the username and password for SMTP
mail.settings.login = 'usern...@password' ## instantiate the Auth class (or
your derived class) auth = Auth(globals(), db) auth.settings.table_user=
db.define_table( auth.settings.table_user_name, db.Field('first_name'),
db.Field('optional_last_name'), db.Field('email'), db.Field('password',
'password', readable=False), db.Field('registration_key', writable=False,
readable=False), ) auth.settings.table_user.first_name.requires =
IS_NOT_EMPTY() auth.settings.table_user.password.requires = CRYPT()
auth.settings.table_user.email.requires = [IS_EMAIL(), IS_NOT_IN_DB(db,
'%s.email' % auth.settings.table_user._tablename)]
auth.settings.table_user.registration_key.default = '' ## ask it to create
all necessary tables auth.define_tables()
====================
This code fails to work. I sneak into the web2py's source code and found out
what I believe to be the source of the problem. There is a bug when handling
manual defined user tables. It's just an indentation issue that makes a part
of the default table_user code to be executed (even if you define it
manually). I also found this bugs repeated in all other tables like this.
This patch intends to fix all the bugs of this type to (really) allow manual
customization of the authentication tables.
Thank you

before
auth.define_tables()
you can do
auth.settings.table_user=....
to point it to your own user table with more fields.
