Sorry for all these self replies. I have it narrowed down to the register
form. I have all the other auth forms working properly.
My register form handling looks like this:
if 'register' in request.args(0):
# parse the referring URL to see if we can pre-populate the
course_id field in
# the registration form
form.vars.course_id = '' # set it to be empty if we can't
pre-populate
ref = request.env.http_referer
if ref:
if '_next' in ref:
ref = ref.split("_next")
url_parts = ref[1].split("/")
else:
url_parts = ref.split("/")
for i in range(len(url_parts)):
if "static" in url_parts[i]:
course_id = url_parts[i+1]
form.vars.course_id = course_id
break
I'm setting form.vars.course_id based on some application logic. However, I
can't figure out how to get the pre-populated value to display. It seems
like I should have a call to form.process() to actually populate the form
widget(*), but if I put such a call in, the register form breaks: it adds
an entry to auth_users, but includes a registration key, and the page does
not redirect properly. (In other words, I get the "success" flash, but the
browser stays on the registration page and the user is not automatically
logged in.)
What exactly do I need to do to pre-populate a value in this registration
form?
* I did exactly this to pre-populate some values in the user "profile" form
and it worked perfectly.
