Thanks Massimo
Your hint pointed me in the right direction. It had a few topos,
which I correct below.
{{if not auth.user and not request.function=='user':}}
{{form=auth.login(next=URL(r=request,
args=request.args))}}
{{pass}}
This displays the default render of the login form. Great.
However, I would like to customise the render of the form to display a
different layout of the form if the user is not logged in. I guess I
could use custom form for this. Example:
{{form=auth.login(next=URL(r=request,
args=request.args))}}
{{=form.custom.begin}}
{{=form.custom.label.username}}:
{{=form.custom.widget.username}}
{{=form.custom.label.password}}:
{{=form.custom.widget.password}}
Remember me: <input type="checkbox"
name="remember"
id="auth_user_remember" class="checkbox" />
{{=form.custom.submit}}
{{=form.custom.end}}
My two questions are:
1) The "remember" checkbox are not part of the form.custom.widget,
thus in the example above, I wrote the standard html out instead of
using the =form.custom... function. Is this standard behaviour? Or
should I expect the "remember" widget to be present?
2) I would like to display smaller sized version of the username and
password fields as opposed to the standard size of the input fields.
Would this be possible using the custom.form.something='size="8"', or
would I have to make a custom version of the example above like this:
{{form=auth.login(next=URL(r=request,
args=request.args))}}
{{=form.custom.begin}}
<input class="string" id="auth_user_username"
name="username"
type="text" size="8" value="" />
<input class="password" id="auth_user_password"
name="password"
type="password" size="8" value="" />
Remember: <input type="checkbox" name="remember"
id="auth_user_remember" class="checkbox" />
{{=form.custom.submit}}
{{=form.custom.end}}
Again, thanks for the swift replies by this group!
