Weheh,
Thanks for your reply.

I deleted them, and that solved the problem.

I haven't used routes before to remap URLs, for now your solution
works:
if not request.args:
redirect(URL(r=request,c='default',f='error'))
else:
if not session.id or session.id!=request.args[0]:
session.id=request.args[0]
row=db(db.member.id==session.id).select(db.member.name)
if row:
session.name=row[0].name
response.menu = [
['Home',request.function=='index',URL(r=request,f='index',args=session.id)],
[...],
['Contact',request.function=='contact',URL(r=request,f='contact',args=session.id)]]
Massimo,

Actually the visitor should never see the error view. The visitor
either visits
the application from a link in an index function:
<td>
{{=A(row.member.name,_onmouseover="this.style.cursor='pointer';",\
_onclick="javascript:details('%s')"%URL(r=request,a='demo',c='site',
f='home',args=[row.member.id]))}}
</td>
from, a bookmarked page:
http://www.mydomain.nl/demo/site/f/1
or from a domain registered by the member which points to a Static/CGI/
PHP
application in which I use an iFrame tag in the index.html file to
include the
contents of http://www.mydomain.nl/demo/site/f/1
At the moment the error view is just there to prevent web2py from
issuing an error ticket when I expose a function from within the admin
interface that requires args to be set.

Because it has nothing to do with auth. I assume you got confused by
the table name user. I changed that to member. I am working on an
idea and I was curious whether my idea about navigation would work
this way.
Kind regards,
