Oops, I do have form.custom.begin and form.custom.end. I had forgotten to
type it here.
I also wanted a custom view for the registration, login, and whatever else,
so my understanding is that I can do this by using form=auth.register() and
form=auth.login(). Then in their respective views, I can format the html
whatever way I want with form.custom.begin and form.custom.end.
Is form=auth.register() supposed to handle inserting the new user to the
database? I've only dealt with handling it in the controller with 'if
form.process().accepted', so looking at 'return(form=auth.register()) is a
bit confusing.
