When the user is not logged in, auth.user is None, so you get an error when trying to access auth.user.id. Instead, you can use auth.user_id, which will simply return None when the user isn't logged in rather than an error. See the callout at the end of this section in the book: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/9#Authentication.
