I'm trying to get auth.navbar to display a username after Welcome instead of trying to display first_name which does not exist in my auth table.
I'm not a python wiz, I'm learning it as I learn web2py. I see this in the source code: def navbar<http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/epydoc/web2py.gluon.tools.Auth-class.html#navbar> (self, prefix='Welcome', action=None, separators=(' [ ', ' | ', ' ] '), user_identifier=DEFAULT<http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/epydoc/web2py.gluon.tools-pysrc.html#> , referrer_actions=DEFAULT<http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/epydoc/web2py.gluon.tools-pysrc.html#> , mode='default'): and just below that... if self.user_id<http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/epydoc/web2py.gluon.tools-pysrc.html#> : if user_identifier is DEFAULT<http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/epydoc/web2py.gluon.tools-pysrc.html#> : user_identifier = '%(first_name)s' if callable(user_identifier): user_identifier = user_identifier(self.user) elif ((isinstance(user_identifier, str) or type(user_identifier).__name__ == 'lazyT') and re.search<http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/epydoc/web2py.gluon.tools-pysrc.html#> (r'%\(.+\)s', user_identifier)): user_identifier = user_identifier % self.user if not user_identifier: user_identifier = '' Is there a way I can redefine user_identifier in a model instead of writing my own user management menu? --
