Right. The forms will be based on the web2py model (i.e., the DAL table
definition), not what's in the DB.

Several options. The simplest is just to add some logic directly to the
existing user view:
{{if request.args(0) == 'register':}}
[custom register form code goes here]
{{pass}}
You can also create a separate register view and add logic to the user()
function to switch to that view:
def user():
if request.args(0) == 'register':
response.view = 'default/register.html'
return dict(form=auth())
Finally, you can define a completely separate register function:
def register():
return dict(form=auth.register())
As for creating a custom form,
see http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/07#Custom-forms.
