In the field that references auth_user you have a requires IS_IN_DB, right?
that validator can take a format. Example:
Field('foo', 'reference auth_user', requires=IS_IN_DB(db, 'auth_user.id',
'%(first_name)s %(last_name)s'))
As for the represent not working it's because it's missing an
Assuming the issue is with reference fields in tables that reference
auth_user, you do not set the represent attribute of the auth_user.id
field, nor is it necessary to customize the IS_IN_DB validator. Instead,
you should set the _format attribute of the auth_user table. After
calling
Field('foo', 'reference auth_user', requires=IS_IN_DB(db, 'auth_user.id',
'%(first_name)s %(last_name)s'))
This worked for me.
Thanks a lot.
