Hash something unique.
I have implemented a custom verification in the system I am working on at
work.
In my signup action, this creates a super super unique key 32 length string
:) (this is overkill, but handles if two forms happen at the same
request.now)
signup_hash = hash("%s|%s|%s|%s|%s" % (member_id, first_name, last_name,
email, request.now))
127.0.0.1:8000/init/default/confirm/%s % signup_hash
def confirm():
response.title = 'Confirmation'
hash = request.args(0) or None
success = False
member = None
if hash:
member = db(db.participant.signup_hash == hash).select().first()
if member:
member['is_valid'] = True
db.participant[member.id] = member
success = True
return dict(success=success, hash=hash, member=member)
and on your confirmation page, you know
{if hash:}}
{{if success:}} you have been confirmed
{{else:}} sorry could not find your account for some reason.
{{pass}}
