[web2py] Re: Temporary changing default values of a Form

[Luis Goncalves]

Good point!

Unfortunately, I am not expert enough to understand how to do this in my 
case, because I am using the form=auth.register().

Wouldn't I have to do what you suggest inside Auth.register ?

(for an explanation of why I am doing this, see:  
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/web2py/O3O6J5FgXjU )


  def user():
  
      if request.args(0)=='register':
          
          db.table_user.email.writable=False # gives error
          form=auth.register()
    
          registrant = db( db.registrant.token == request.vars.token 
).select().first()
  
          form.element(_name='email').update(_value=registrant.email)
  
          form.element(_name='email')['_readonly']=True
  
          return dict(form=form)

Thanks!!
Luis.
