There are settings for almost everything. Sometimes the book doesn't 
explain every single one though. The best way to figure out what's going on 
is to open the gluon/tools.py file, and find the Auth class. This class 
will have all the settings listed with their default values at the top of 
the class.

 This is not working (it remains E-mail):
 auth.messages.label_email = 'Email'


Are you using the default auth.define_tables() to create you Auth models? 
You may need to show some code.
 


 Remember me (for 30 days works) - but there is a space above it up to 
 password - how to remove it?


Try inspecting the rendered HTML and figure out what the HTML/CSS should be 
-- then we can figure out how to generate it.

 Also on Sign Up form I got a message 'too short' below the Password field 
 - in the book link there is not correspondent function to change it.


That's coming from the default CRYPT validator. Try:

db.auth_user.password.requires[-1].error_message = 'Your custom error 
message'

This assumes requires is a list (which it is by default when using 
auth.define_tables) -- if it is just a single CRYPT object, then no need 
for the [-1].

Actually I need just to change Remember me (for 30 days) 

to 

Remember mebr(for 30 days) 

[web2py] Re: How to modify the look and text of: Remember me (for 30 days)?

[Anthony]

auth.messages.label_remember_me = CAT('Remember me', BR(), '(for 30 days)')

or

auth.messages.label_remember_me = XML('Remember mebr(for 30 days)')

should do it.

If you need special CSS styling, you could put the label inside a span with 
a specific class.

Thank you  Anthony, will try it!

It worked. Now I want to change  *formstyle* and default labels:
1) E-mail to Email
2) The message in red below Email: Invalid email to Please enter a valid 
email address.
3) The message in red below password: too short to Please enter a valid 
password.
too short is actually misleading because I am hitting Sign Up with all 
fields empty.


auth.settings.login_onvalidation = login_email_lower
current.app.auth =  auth
form=current.app.auth.login(next=login_next)

form.custom.submit['_data-theme'] = 'e'
form.custom.submit_button = 'Sign In'

like in:

form_add_email_address = SQLFORM.factory(
Field('email_address', 
requires=[IS_NOT_EMPTY(), IS_EMAIL(error_message='invalid email!')]),
submit_button = 'Add',
*formstyle *= 'table2cols' 
   
  )

There should be settings for all that stuff 
here: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/9#Settings-and-messages -- 
mostly in auth.messages.

This is working:
auth.settings.formstyle ='divs'

This is not working (it remains E-mail):
auth.messages.label_email = 'Email'

in the book link there is not correspondent function to change it.

Additionally, tried to change 
auth.messages.invalid_email = 'Please enter a valid email address'

But it still shows 'Invalid email'
