So, In my application. I have two user type. User and Tutor. 

Once they register, if user_type = 'User', I want it to go through the 
registration process and create a user_profile by redirecting to 
"user_profile". If user_type = 'Tutor', create a tutor_profile and get 
redirected

in my default controller, auth(): I have:

form = auth();
    
    if form.accepted:
        if request.args(0) in ['register']:
            if (db.auth_user.user_type == 'User'):
                redirect(URL('user_profile'))
            else:
                redirect(URL('teacher_profile'))

But this don't work. It register and gets redirected to index.
