Hi,
1. In the web2py book, there is an example for Auth settings, which

Thanks for confirming this. The only kind of updates would be adding new

Regarding the pros and cons of this approach (in comparison to David's

Hi group,
Is it possible for one to store incoming user data (e.g. those submitted by
users on a page) in memory, manipulate them in memory, and send them back

That might be just slightly unsafe, don't you think, if a piece of data
gets evicted before it's needed? I'd prefer to limit caching to data that
can be recreated when it's not found in the cache.
An alternative might be a memory-based SQLite database, taking care not to
let it leak (a
If you just need to store data for a single user across requests, you can
store it in the session (each user has a separate session). But if you need
to store data from multiple users and then process it all together, you can

Any chance of adding English subtitles to this video? Would be a great

That works! CRYPT() validator is temporarily removed from and added back to

Actually, looking at the code, auth.user.id should work as well, unless
you have auth.settings.registration_requires_verification = True, in which
case, session.auth.user.id won't work either (but form.vars.id will work
in either case).
I was going to update this post to reflect this,
I am trying to define a function which programmatically logs user in, e.g.

in which case, user gets automatically logged in only after he/she
Hi Group,
I have something like the following in a model:

The new user id should be in form.vars.id as well as session.auth.user.id at
that point.
Thanks Anthony. But is this documented anywhere in the manual or in any doc
of Web2py? Otherwise, it is really difficult for users to figure this out
without consulting experts like you.

When I say 'sometimes Web2py fails to create Auth tables and other times it

2. a fresh 'mydb' is created using 'createdb mydb'

Two questions relating to two Auth settings:
