Thanks for the info, everyone. I thought the example might look OK as is, but i really don't understand everything the way you folks do.
I have a bit of a follow up question. The ENTIRE example *seems* to imply that the following lines are *NEEDED* to enable email verification: auth.settings.registration_requires_verification = False auth.settings.registration_requires_approval = False auth.settings.reset_password_requires_verification = True Is that true? I want, at least i think i want: registration_requires_verification = True BTW there's a sample code bug i found in the same section. Replace the double quote (") in the following with a single quote (') and it compiles. auth.settings.register_onaccept.append(lambda form:\ mail.send(to='y...@example.com',subject='new user', message="new user email is %s'%form.vars.email)) Thanks for the help. And thanks for the great documentation and for caring about it.
