I am assuming you are not using Janraion Oauth, etc.
1) make sure the db.auth_user has a
Field('registration_completed','boolean',default=True,writable=False,readable=False)
(default must be True if regular use go thought normal registration
process)
and a Field('parent_user','reference
auth_user',writable=False,readable=False)
2) in model make sure everybody has a completed registration
if auth.user and not auth.user.registration_completed and not
request.function=='user':
redirect(URL('default','user/profile'))
3) create an action to allows parents to register children:
@auth.requires_login()
def register_child()
auth.settings.registration_requires_verification=True
# show only the email!
for field in db.auth_user:
if field.name!='email':
field.writable=field
# defaul parent to registrar
db.auth_user.parent_user=auth.user_id
# copy current user info and restore it after form processed
parent = auth.user
form=auth.register(next=None) # do not redirect inside
auth.user=session.auth.user=parent
# redirect if form accepted
if form.vars and not form.errors: redirect(URL('index'))
return dict(form=form)
This should work. Let us know if it does or does not.
