Yah. I got it running, thanks. Had to go in thru the admin interface to restart.
I think it's related, but I'm using your code from the custom auth.login example. You wrote: user=db.auth_user.insert(...) session.auth=Storage(user=user,last_visit=request.now,expiration=auth.settings.expiration) Problem is ... user is an int. I think you need to commit first then query the db for the auth_user Storage class and then pass that back to Storage to set the session.auth. Yes?
