Hi,
I have a custom table, and I'm trying to use a 'username' field instead of
an 'email' field (since the book says if there's a username field, it will
be used instead of the email field).
However, whenever I try the 'forgot my username' function, it gives me an
error, saying:
<type 'exceptions.KeyError'> 'email'
(Looks like it's trying to access the email field, which of course doesn't
exist.)
Here's my code:
auth.settings.table_user_name = 'user'
db.define_table(auth.settings.table_user_name,
Field('username', length=60, unique=True, label='Email address'), #
required
Field('password', 'password', length=512, writable=False,
readable=False, label='Password'), # required
Field('registration_key', length=512, writable=False, readable=False,
default=''), # required
Field('reset_password_key', length=512, writable=False, readable=False,
default=''), # required
Field('registration_id', length=512, writable=False, readable=False,
default=''), # required
format='%(username)s')
## do not forget validators
custom_auth_table = db[auth.settings.table_user_name] # get the
custom_auth_table
custom_auth_table.password.requires = [ CRYPT(key="mykey",
digest_alg="sha512") ]
custom_auth_table.username.requires = [
IS_EMAIL(error_message=auth.messages.invalid_email),
IS_NOT_IN_DB(db, custom_auth_table.username)] # we need this so that
web2py uses username as the email address. unique is not good enough
auth.settings.table_user = custom_auth_table # tell auth to use
custom_auth_table
## configure auth policy
auth.settings.registration_requires_verification = True
auth.settings.registration_requires_approval = True
auth.settings.reset_password_requires_verification = True
auth.messages.verify_email = 'Click on the link http://' + \
request.env.http_host + \
URL(r=request,c='default',f='user',args=['verify_email']) + \
'/%(key)s to verify your email'
auth.messages.reset_password = 'Click on the link http://' + \
request.env.http_host + \
URL(r=request,c='default',f='user',args=['reset_password']) + \
'/%(key)s to reset your password'
auth.define_tables(username=True, signature=False, migrate=False)
## configure email
mail=auth.settings.mailer
mail.settings.server = 'smtp.gmail.com:587' or 'logging'
mail.settings.sender = '[email protected]'
mail.settings.login = '[email protected]:mypass'
And here's the error traceback:
