>From the book http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/09#Authenticationwe >know that:
*The password field of the db.auth_user table defaults to a CRYPT validator* >From http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/09#Customizing-Auth we know also that: *You can add any field you wish, and you can change validators but you > cannot remove the fields marked as "required"* (namely 'email', 'password', 'registration_key', 'reset_password_key', 'registration_id' fields) Finally we know that ( http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07#Validators): *error_message* allows you to override the default error message for any > validator. Consequently we can change the validators of auth.password field and customize error messages. We could accomplish our target in the following way for example: # in model db.py after auth.define_tables(username=False, signature=False) default_password_validators = [def_val for def_val in db.auth_user.password.requires] added_password_validators = [IS_NOT_EMPTY(error_message=T('Enter a value')), IS_LENGTH(minsize=8, error_message=T('Invalid password'))] password_validators = added_password_validators +default_password_validators db.auth_user.password.requires = password_validators Il giorno mercoledì 21 novembre 2012 14:38:31 UTC+1, Daniele ha scritto: > > Hiding the error is not my point.
