That's nice to know. The auth stuff is very tricky. Is it a class?
The one challenge is that I have two controller, each presenting a very
different UI. One contains user() and the other contains mini_user().
Mini_user creates it's own custom form. Use() simply returns dict(form =
auth()). These have always both worked. Since, auth() is a global, no
problem.
The problem was for a view to find auth.bar, which I have solved simply by
using the action= argument in the call.
Thank you.
