I mean... if I only want to add "username" field in order to use it in
place of email during user login... how can I do it? if I can...
Specifically for adding a username field to to be used for login, you
can do:
auth.define_tables(username=True)
See http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/08#Authentication.
More generally, as of 1.96.1, you can add custom fields to any auth
table with:
auth.settings.extra_fields['auth_table_name_goes_here'].append(Fields('new_field_name',...))

found this feature that you cite:
http://www.web2py.com/examples/default/changelog
'''
auth.settings.extra_fields['auth_user'].append(Field('country')) allows
to extend auth_* tables without need of definiting a custom auth_*
table. Must be placed before auth.define_tables()
'''
but applied as written I got a KeyError: 'auth_user'. I thik I have
correcly applied as reported here under (I'm using a 1.96.4 version)
...
auth.define_tables(username=True)
auth.settings.extra_fields['auth_user'].append(
Fields('company', db.company, required=True, notnull=True,
requires=IS_IN_DB(db, 'company.id', '%(name)s'))
)
auth.define_tables() # creates all needed tables
...
