[web2py] Re: HELP: how do I subclass the Auth class and add additional fields to the login form?

[pbreit]

If you're going to store them in the DB then Customizing Auth is easiest:
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/08#Customizing-Auth

Subclassing is going to be more difficult.

In a model file that comes before "auth =" do this:

from gluon.tools import Auth

class MyAuth(Auth): 

    def navbar(self, prefix='Welcome', action=None):
    """ subclassing navbar() """
    ...

Then switch "auth = Auth(globals(),db)" to "auth = MyAuth(globals(),db)"
