I have been learning web2py and decided to create a simple ticket system. Thus far I've been able to read the book/documentation or look at others code and been able to hack my way through most issues. However in my situation I need to have a default user created for default administrative purposes, such as adding other admin users (I know this isn't the best way to accomplish this but I'm learning... advice, suggestions always welcome).
I've tried something similar to this post "http://groups.google.com/ group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/39f2d63f7024bbfb/2da45ae0132fe8fc? lnk=gst&q=auto+users#2da45ae0132fe8fc", but I can't login as the user because it says invalid login. I believe this is due to when I set the default password. If I login appadmin and change the password and then try to login it works. So I'm messing up on the password creation part. Here is the code for my z_defuser.py: fname='ticket' lname='master' maile='[email protected]' passwd='tmaster09!' # Check to see if the user exists first. # If the user does do nothing, else create the new user. rows = db(db.auth_user.email == maile).select() if rows: pass else: ticket_master = db.auth_user.insert(first_name=fname, last_name=lname, email=maile, password=passwd) P.S. Any suggestions/advice are welcome. Thank you.
