auth.settings.extra_fields['auth_user'] =
[Field('city'),Field('country')]
def lola(form):
if form.vars.institution_country:
form.vars.longitude, form.vars.latitude = geocode("%s %s" %
(form.vars.city, form.vars.country))
auth.settings.register_onvalidation=lola
auth.settings.profile_onvalidation=lola
