Hi Massimo,
Not quite what I am after. Scenario which I have is that I have a number of different models each has a number of different atctions. I have a menu defined in layout.html which is included in each view. I would like to display the logged in user name in the menu (so something like Welcome John) if the user is logged in or LOGIN if they are not. I understand that I can use auth.get_user in the action to access any auth user info I need but the question is do I need to pass back the user information to each and every view for layout.html to have access to the information or is there some way to set a global/application wide variable so that can be access by all views(templates). Ideally I would like to be able to access auth.get_user() from layout.html BR John From: web2py@googlegroups.com [mailto:web2py@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Massimo Di Pierro Sent: 30 September 2019 17:12 To: web2py-users Subject: Re: [web2py] Re: py4web Auth In any action decorated with @action.uses(auth.user) you can do first_name = auth.get_user()['first_name'] Is this what you are asking?

Is there some sort of way to access user info from layout.html for example across multiple modules without having to pass the user from each eaction in each module? I want to be able to display the user name as part of the menu something like Welcome John (if the user is logged in) irrespective of module or action??

Anyway I thought this was better than nothing. :-) Massimo -- 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.
