error messages in Auth.change_password

[Sebastian E. Ovide]

Hi,

Using Auth.change_password I noticed that if the 2 password do not match web2py is giving the message "invalid expression!" and if the password is not valid the message is "value not in database!". Is it possible to change those strings with some more user friendly ones ?

thanks

good point. these two strings come from the validators and do not have
customization. Will fix that.

Try the trunk and the following customizations:

auth.messages.invalid_email = 'Invalid email'
auth.messages.invalid_login = 'Invalid login'
auth.messages.invalid_user = 'Invalid user'
auth.messages.is_empty = "Cannot be empty"
auth.messages.mismatched_password = "Password fields don't
match"

cool !   is it part of 1.63.4 ?

another question : is it possible to customize "change password" screen in the way to add a "cancel" button and/or another link such as "return home" ?

No - it was done in r959:

This may help: http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/29aff17c10057932

Add to your view:
A(T(''Return Home'), _href=URL(r=request, c='default'))

I have just tried and it is working fine for mismatched_password....

but in case the old password is wrong the message is still "value not
in database!"

just in case it could be useful:

Massimo, couldnt we use T function in such messages for internationalization?

With: auth.messages.submit_button = T('Enviar')
the system complain with:

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for %: 'lazyT' and 'Storage'

thanks

auth.messages should be of type Messages which supports
Internationalisation automatically (no need to use T())

Before that we had to subclass & pass T, but no longer :)
