Thanks for the pointer. Anthony.
So now I have the following in my controller:
def register():
form = SQLFORM.factory(
Field('email', requires=[IS_NOT_EMPTY(), IS_EMAIL(forced='^.*\.edu(|\..*)$'
,
error_message='email must be .edu address')]),
Field('pwd', requires=[IS_NOT_EMPTY(), IS_STRONG(min=6, special=0, upper=1,
error_message='minimum 6 characters, and at least 1 uppercase character'),CRYPT
()]),
Field('re_pwd', requires=IS_EXPR('value==%s' % repr(request.vars.get('pwd',
None)),
error_message='passwords do not match')))
if form.process().accepted:
session.email = form.vars.email
session.pwd = form.vars.pwd
redirect(URL('registered'))
return dict(form=form)
And, for testing, I input the following:
a...@abc.edu
Testpwd
Testpwd
I didn't get any error messages, so presumably all three validations went
fine. However, using a debugger revealed that form.accepted is still None
after calling process() on the form. I wonder what went wrong here. Thanks.
