Hi, I have a few questions regarding the design of my app: -Let's say there are two types of users, "doctors" and "patients"; they have different properties. For example, a patient will specify his height and weight, but a doctor will not. I would like both patients and doctors to have to be registered and logged in to use the system. How do I handle this situation? Can there be multiple auth tables? Or is it better to somehow use a single auth_user table?
-Furthermore, I would like doctors, when they register, to require administrator approval before their account is created. But not patients. It seems like requiring administrator approval is handled by: auth.settings.registration_requires_approval = True but again, the issue seems to be one of wanting one sort of auth behavior for one group of users, and another auth behavior for the other group; how do I achieve this? -When a new patient is to be added to the system, I would like it to work like this: (a) a logged-in doctor clicks "add new patient"; this creates a new patient id (say it's an 8 digit number, 12345678), and gives this number to the patient (b) the patient goes home, and registers, and during registration, is asked for his patient id; if his patient id was not generated by a doctor in step (a), he cannot register. I was thinking of implementing this by having a db table called "pending_patients"; when the doctor clicks "Add new patient", a new id is generated and placed into this table. Then with the patient registration, I thought I would have a IS_IN_DB() validator that checks whether the id they input is in the "pending_patients" table. Is this a reasonable way to do this? Thanks in advance for any help. -Nick -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
