delete and logout user

[Alex Glaros]

If a user deletes their account, my controller deletes their db.auth_user record but their login session is still active.  If I try to auth.logout() then, I get integrity restraint error.  If I log them out first, I don't automatically have their user_id to delete the records with.

Is there a simple way to handle this?

thanks,

Sure, grab the ID first, then logout, then delete.

Anthony shouldn't Auth.profile do that by default?

Yes. I assumed he was using some custom user account deletion workflow.

Alex, if you set auth.settings.allow_delete_accounts=True, you can let users delete their accounts via the auth.profile() action, and all of this is handled automatically.

Anthony,

am using custom deletion workflow.  

Where is best place to store the user_id so logout doesn't erase it?  session?  temp table?

thanks

Presumably the logout and delete are happening in the same request, so just put the id in a variable. Hard to say exactly how you should handle it without seeing your code.
