login hook

[Randall]

I need to perform some actions after a successful login, but it's not
clear to me how to do this. In the included login form, the data is
posted to the resource last viewed and handled by tg identity. I don't
see an opportunity in this process to act upon the login. Any ideas
are appreciated.

That's not an unreasonable request.

Any suggestions from the TG community?

One idea is to modify the standard login form. Store the
${previous_url} in a hidden form field, and set the action for the form
to be a url that will test if the user is authenticated (just test if
identity.current.anonymous). If they are authenticated, do your magic,
and then forward on to the ${previous_url}, regardless if the user
authenticated or not. If they did authenticate, great. If they didn't,
they will just get the login form again.

Not really a hook, but should get the job done.

That works nicely.

how about a method in identity class that executes at the end, the equivalent of a html onclick event + javascript call (in concept of course)

Can you give me a better explanation? Maybe a pseudocode example?

Sorry I haven't use identity I just read about it in here that's why I didn't write some code like thing.

Looking at the trac for identity i believe the best place will be to add a

field to identity.SecureResource and went you subclass it(to make your secured pages) you will say something like 

class Toxicologia(controller.Controller
, identity.SecureResource):
     
required_permissions= ["write"]
     required_groups
= ["admin"]
     allowed_hosts
= ["127.0.0.1"]
     identity_required
= True
     onLogin=self.myMethod
then declare it.

then inside the Identity framework after the validation is done check for onLogin method which of course will be declared as empty. 


that makes sence?

as a param to login object (soprovider i think) you will send in a method defined in your controller or none. That method will be executed by the identity framework if you had a success login.
