Hi Anthony, Thanks again, it works. Now it leads to another question - my application has accounting system and ticketing system sharing the same auth's tables. The 2 systems are in different controllers namely accounting & ticketing. All my accounting view htmls extend layout_accounting.html, all the ticketing view htmls extend layout_ticketing.html, inside these layout files, they include their corresponding menu i.e. response.menu_accounting, response.menu_ticketing. If i use your suggestion below, it will work well for accounting but not for ticketing under the same application. How should I address it?
Could you tell me where I find the definition/documentation of Auth()'s arguments? What does function='user' do here? Many thanks in advance!
