What do you mean by first extending auth ... Before referencing it... if i do so then i get an atrribute error.
See here a snippet of my code which works in this order but auth.signature ( because i reference to auth.signature before i define my auth tables? ) -------------------------------------------------- from gluon.tools import Auth, Service, PluginManager auth = Auth(db) service = Service() plugins = PluginManager() ## adding custom fields to Auth_user table db.define_table('work_position', Field('Name',requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(error_message='cannot be empty!'), label=T('Name')), format='%(Name)s') db.define_table('practice', Field('Name',requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(error_message='cannot be empty!'), label=T('Name')), format='%(Name)s') auth.settings.extra_fields['auth_user']= [ Field('work_position', db.work_position, label=T('Profession')), Field('practice', db.practice, label=T('Practice')), Field('Reg_number',requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(error_message='cannot be empty!'), label=T('Registration Number')),] ## create all tables needed by auth if not custom tables auth.define_tables(username=False, signature=False) ## configure auth policy auth.settings.registration_requires_verification = False auth.settings.registration_requires_approval = False auth.settings.reset_password_requires_verification = True auth.settings.actions_disabled=['register'] Op woensdag 1 juni 2016 16:06:10 UTC+2 schreef Niphlod: > > at a minimum you need to extend auth BEFORE referencing it. and where is > your auth.define_tables() call ? > > On Wednesday, June 1, 2016 at 3:00:50 PM UTC+2, Steve wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> I am trying to extend the Auth_user tabel with a dropdown field. >> >> I have them working but if i try to add the "Auth.signature" in Db.py to >> the table "work_position" i get an error message. >> error message: >> <type 'exceptions.KeyError'> 'Cannot resolve reference auth_user in >> work_position definition' >> >> >> >> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> from gluon.tools import Auth, Service, PluginManager >> >> auth = Auth(db) >> service = Service() >> plugins = PluginManager() >> >> ## adding custom fields to Auth_user table >> db.define_table('work_position', >> Field('Name',requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(error_message='cannot >> be empty!'), label=T('Name')), >> auth.signature, >> format='%(Name)s') >> >> auth.settings.extra_fields['auth_user']= [ >> Field('work_position', db.work_position, >> label=T('Profession')), >> etc >> >> Anyone an idea to solve this ? >> Without the auth.signature it works fine. >> >> steve >> > -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
