Just return a dictionary with the properties you defined in the auth table in db.py.
For instance to use facebook with oauth20_account you need to override get_user() method in the OAuthAccount class as you need. Below is how I implement it for the test application on http://grafbook.appspot.com/helloFacebook You can find the code of the example here: http://code.google.com/r/michelecomitini-facebookaccess/source/browse#hg/applications/helloFacebook the important parts in db.py: . . . auth_table = db.define_table( auth.settings.table_user_name, Field('first_name', length=128, default=""), Field('last_name', length=128, default=""), Field('username', length=128, default="", unique=True), Field('password', 'password', length=256, readable=False, label='Password'), Field('registration_key', length=128, default= "", writable=False, readable=False)) auth_table.username.requires = IS_NOT_IN_DB(db, auth_table.username) auth.define_tables() # creates all needed tables . . . import sys, os path = os.path.join(request.folder, 'modules') if not path in sys.path: sys.path.append(path) from fbappauth import CLIENT_ID,CLIENT_SECRET from facebook import GraphAPI from gluon.contrib.login_methods.oauth20_account import OAuthAccount class FaceBookAccount(OAuthAccount): """OAuth impl for FaceBook""" AUTH_URL="https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize"; TOKEN_URL="https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token"; def __init__(self, g): OAuthAccount.__init__(self, g, CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, self.AUTH_URL, self.TOKEN_URL) self.graph = None def get_user(self): '''Returns the user using the Graph API. ''' if not self.accessToken(): return None if not self.graph: self.graph = GraphAPI((self.accessToken())) user = None try: user = self.graph.get_object("me") except GraphAPIError: self.session.token = None self.graph = None if user: return dict(first_name = user['first_name'], last_name = user['last_name'], username = user['id']) auth.settings.login_form=FaceBookAccount(globals()) 2010/8/9 Matt <mattsn...@gmail.com>: > I have a custom login method.
