In fact, just to make sure there wasn't something hidden in my app affecting the behavior, I downloaded a fresh install of web2py, and get the same error: File "/home/pierluigi/web2py/gluon/tools.py", line 1796, in register user = self.db(table_user[username] == form.vars[username]).select().first() KeyError: 'email' Adding just this code to the 'welcome' app: def user(): if request.args(0)=='register': auth.settings.table_user.email.default = 'l...@vision.caltech.edu' auth.settings.table_user.email.writable=False auth.settings.registration_requires_verification = False return dict(form=auth()) L.

Yes, when I click on the invite and go to the website I get the registration form filled out with email (and name (excluded from my shortened example)) visible and non-editable.

[web2py] Re: Temporary changing default values of a Form
Actually, I still want email verification to happen (because someone else may stumble upon the link and register with a password unknown to the real user). Nevertheless, I disabled registration verification, and now I get an error deep within gloun/tools.py Error occurs after entering password and submitting the form. (same error with your and Massimo's version of the solution): File "/home/ubuntu/web2py/gluon/tools.py", line 1683, in register user = self.db(table_user[username] == form.vars[username]).select().first() KeyError: 'email' Maybe making table_user.email.writable=False prevents auth.register() from creating a new table entry for the new user??? Again, for reference, the (essential) code: def user(): if request.args(0)=='register': registrant = db( db.registrant.token == request.vars.token ).select().first() auth.settings.registration_requires_verification = False db[auth.settings.table_user_name].email.writable=False db[auth.settings.table_user_name].email.default=registrant.email # this causes same error # auth.settings.table_user.email.default = registrant.email # auth.settings.table_user.email.writable=False form=auth.register() return dict(form=form) return dict(form=auth())
[web2py] Re: Temporary changing default values of a Form
Do you have: auth.settings.registration_requires_verification = True somewhere? If so, remove that line or set it to False. That attempts to send a verification email to the user's email address (which is failing and causing the error), which I assume you don't need given that your registration is via invitation only.

Both with Massimo's auth.settings.table_user.email.default = registrant.email auth.settings.table_user.email.writable=False form=auth.register() and with your db[auth.settings.table_user_name].email.writable=False db[auth.settings.table_user_name].email.default=registrant.email form=auth.register() I get the error Exception: Target receiver address not specified at the line ofform=auth.register() For reference, the entire block (with error handling removed for clarity) is: def user(): if request.args(0)=='register': registrant = db( db.registrant.token == request.vars.token ).select().first() db[auth.settings.table_user_name].email.writable=False db[auth.settings.table_user_name].email.default=registrant.email form=auth.register() return dict(form=form) return dict(form=auth())

Note, the name of the auth user table (which defaults to 'auth_user') is stored in auth.settings.table_user_name, so you could also do: db[auth.settings.table_user_name].email.writable=False Anthony
[web2py] Re: Temporary changing default values of a Form
This should do it:
def user():
if request.args(0)=='register':
registrant = db(db.registrant.token ==
request.vars.token).select().first() or redirect(URL('error'))
db.auth_user.email.writable=False # gives error
db.auth_user.email.default=registrant.email
return dict(form=form)

[web2py] Re: Temporary changing default values of a Form
Good point! Unfortunately, I am not expert enough to understand how to do this in my case, because I am using the form=auth.register(). Wouldn't I have to do what you suggest inside Auth.register ? (for an explanation of why I am doing this, see: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/web2py/O3O6J5FgXjU ) def user(): if request.args(0)=='register': db.table_user.email.writable=False # gives error form=auth.register() registrant = db( db.registrant.token == request.vars.token ).select().first() form.element(_name='email').update(_value=registrant.email) form.element(_name='email')['_readonly']=True return dict(form=form) Thanks!! Luis.
[web2py] Re: Temporary changing default values of a Form
You would suggest you do this instead db.table.email.writable=False in the controller, before defining the form. Setting the field readonly in the view may still allow a malicious attacker to tamper with the field value.

Re: [web2py] Re: Temporary changing default values of a Form
Yes, I am trying to create an 'invitation' only registration,
where the person receives an email with a link (and identifying token),
and on my website I use the token to pre-populate the registration form,
so that the user only has to pick his password.
thx,
Luis.

Can you explain the logic? Are you trying to override whatever emails
is typed in by the user on registration?
