At the end of the form, you have {{=form.custom.begin}}, but it should be {{=form.custom.end}}.

Thanks for marking that error..... but after changing that also same error..... :( .... it's urgent...

[Anthony]

Sorry, hadn't looked closely at the controller code. First, your first two lines are useless, as the third line simply overwrites the "form" variable with a completely new object. Second, auth.register() already handles the form processing, so you cannot subsequently call form.accepts(). If you want to control the flash messages, use the auth.messages object to set them.

Yaa thanx for pointing that out...... have removed the 3rd line.... it would be much helpful if you can explain the usage of auth.message ....

[Akash Agrawall]

Also if I remove the controller's flash line i.e. my new controller is:

Controller: default.py
def register():
        form=auth.register()
        form.add_button('Cancel', URL('register'))

        return dict(form=form)

Still it doesn't work.... i.e. it redirects to register.html with the data entered(which I filled in before clicking on register button).... and doesn't enter it into the database.....

[Akash Agrawall]

Have to define all the attributes in custom form.... otherwise it won't run... wasn't doing the same..... define it as hidden if you don't want user to see them..... !!

No, it's better to set the readable and writable attributes to False if you want particular fields to be excluded from the form.

    for fields in ['field1', 'field2', 'field3']:
        db.auth_user[field].readable = db.auth_user[field].writable = False
    form = auth.register()

true that... this one is better..
