I have two distinct sources of authentication ( 2 ldap servers) and I use the credentials provided by the user to perform the query that gather information on the ldap server on which the user is authenticated. In an effort to follow the DRY concept my function that gather information can query both server and chose the correct one by using a boolean set to True for one server and False for the other. I asked another question on this group about the best way to determine which auth_method was successful (when using auth.settings.auth_methods[auth_ldap(server 1), auth_ldap(server2)]) but no one has provided an answer yet. That let me with the present option to customize the login form to let the user chose on which server launch the query.
I asked about the variable storing the value before processing the form because I was exploring on the jQuery side ( onchange event) which doesn't seems to be able to do the job. I hope I clarified the situation :p On Tuesday, December 8, 2015 at 3:18:04 PM UTC-5, Richard wrote: > > :) > > For what... > > > > On Tue, Dec 8, 2015 at 2:18 PM, Jonathan R <[email protected] <javascript:>> > wrote: > >> I need to have this radio button, >> is there a variable that stores the value of the radio button before >> processing the form ? >> >> On Tuesday, December 8, 2015 at 11:03:40 AM UTC-5, Richard wrote: >>> >>> You should have a look at web2py auth...
