hello web2py users, I have been playing with web2py & python for a few months now ... I am proud of myself with what I have been able to accomplished so far and so quickly ! but I am still learning !...
There have been several post regarding the following issue !! and I thought I had figured it out after reading and searching through them ...! but .. I was obviously mistaken ! in the controller, multiple actions are exposed with the user() action .. it is default ! with the user.html in the view ... OK ! understood ! like : http://.../[app]/default/user/register http://.../[app]/default/user/login http://.../[app]/default/user/logout http://.../[app]/default/user/profile etc. to name just these few... what if we want to customize the default/user/register ? or any other user() actions like profile or else !! in my controller I created a def register() with its corresponding register.html in the view .. I have tried different scenarios, based on the various replies on various past and similar posts about this same issue ... but ... It always goes to the default web2py user/register My registration scenario involves 2 tables with various fields, ( a form wizard ) ... it works perfectly by itself on a separate or standalone link for test .. but I cannot have i toverides the action of user/register from the controller or simply have my "def register() :" take the place of the default web2py user/register one ! I even tried to put it within the def user() : statement in the default controller : .... Nope ! not executing ! in the user html view either, because it does recognized certain parameters that I passed along in the default.py controller "def register() :" I was thinking ! .. this is a redundant issue .. it comes back several times ... it should be better addressed either with a slice .. or in the book ! NB. The same thing with previewing a resized thumbnail image before committing it to the database table on an upload image field ! -- this last issue is giving me headaches with JS ! .. I just let it go for now ( put it on ice ) so I can move on !! thank you Don --
