A proposal to extend the register form and the login form
The issue:
I want to have a register form with an extra field,* which should not be
part of auth_user*. The purpose: a new user can only register if this field
contrains (e.g.) some special code. This code can be checked by a
validation function, set by auth.settings.register_onvalidation
I have tried to change the form which is created by def user in default.py.
The result was a very long code which is hard to read and which needs some
additional statements for the error message. A better way would be a small
modification of gluon/tools.py. And the same could be done with the
login-form.
We need only 6 additional lines in gluon/tools.py
At the end of default_settings (line 1206) add:
register_extra_fields=[],
login_extra_fields=[]
At the end of settings.update (line 1506) add:
register_extra_fields = [],
lo
gin_extra_fields = []
I
n def login() add after line 2561ff:
if settings.remember_me_form:
extra_fields = [
Field('remember_me', 'boolean', default=False,
label = self.messages.label_remember_me)]
else:
extra_fields = []
extra_fields += self.settings.login_extra_fields
In def register() add after line 2862 ff:
if self.settings.register_verify_password:
extra_fields = [
Field("password_two", "password", requires=IS_EQUAL_TO(
request.post_vars.get(passfield, None),
error_message=self.messages.mismatched_password),
label=current.T("Confirm Password"))]
else:
extra_fields = []
extra_fields += self.settings.register_extra_fields
How to use:
Yes, it’s only a very simple check: the user has to write “VALID” into the
field “extracode”.
In db.py, before auth.define_tables:
def validate_registercode(form):
if form.vars.extracode != "VALID":
form.errors.extracode=T("Invalid extra code")
auth.settings.register_extra_fields=
[Field('extracode',
label='My extracode',
comment='This is the extracode')
]
auth.settings.register_onvalidation=[validate_registercode]
That’s all. Now we have a nice register form with an extra field labeled “My
extracode”. If the use
r
does not know the right answer “VALID” he could not register. All css
attributes are the same as in the remaining register form.
