[web2py] Re: Making minor changes to auth.navbar()
It goes into a model file after auth has been instantiated. Everything in
the model is globalised as models are executed every time the app is
accessed. Example in db.py:
auth = Auth(db)
...
def user_bar():
bar =
return bar
then you would call user_bar() in place of auth.navbar()

Hello Lewis,
I am having the same issue. Could you tell us where did you put the code
for the navbar?
Thanks!

How did you solve it? I'm facing the same problem - deciding where to place
the navbar code I wrote.

[web2py] Re: Making minor changes to auth.navbar()
I understand that code and put it in my controller.
But, where do I put the reference to it in the view (the base view that is
extended):
By default it says: {{='auth' in globals() and
auth.navbar(separators=(' ',' | ',''))}}
I assume that user.bar must replace auth.navbar(...).
But, I don't see how. An arbitrary function in a controller cannot do the
same things that the auth class method does. The other problem is that my
user.bar() is not in default so I must also reference the controller file.
Using URL('...', '') in place of auth.navbar did not work.
I am sorry: when you go mucking about substituting for internal
functions/classes of web2py it is very unclear what one must do because the
behavior of the internal classes is a bit obscure.
Thank you.

[web2py] Re: Making minor changes to auth.navbar()
I just write my own:
def user_bar():
action = '/user'
if auth.user:
logout=A('logout', _href=action+'/logout')
profile=A('profile', _href=action+'/profile')
password=A('change password', _href=action+'/change_password')
bar = SPAN(auth.user.email, ' | ', profile, ' | ', password, ' |
',logout
, _class='auth_navbar')
else:
login=A('login', _href=action+'/login')
register=A('register',_href=action+'/register')
lost_password=A('lost password', _href=action+
'/request_reset_password')
bar = SPAN(' ', login, ' | ', register, ' | ', lost_password, _class
='auth_navbar')
return bar

[web2py] Re: Making minor changes to auth.navbar()
Unfortunately, the navbar isn't very flexible. However, it returns an HTML
helper object (a SPAN with several components), so you can manipulate it
after creation. The part after "Welcome" is the second component of the
span, so:
navbar = auth.navbar()
if auth.user:
navbar[1] = auth.user.email #replace first name with email
del navbar[0] # remove "Welcome"
