adding cancel button to auth form

[Sebastian E. Ovide]

Hi All,

I need to add a Cancel botton the some auth form (change password and retrieve password). Clicking on the cancel button the form should redirect to a given URL.

Do I need to create a new form in my controller ?

Is there any easier way to do it ? (for example altering the form created by auth)

def retrieve_password():
  form=auth.retrieve_password()
  # ADD CANCEL BUTTON HERE THAT REDIRECTS TO SOME URL  IN SOME WAY
  #...
  return dict(form=form)

thanks

something like this?

form.append(BUTTON('click me',_onclick='document.location="%s"' % URL
(f='index')))

You may want to play with

form[0].append(...)
form[0][0].append(...)
form[0].insert(-1,....)
etc.

depending on where you want to insert the button.

Doing this on gluon.tools.Auth.retrieve_password does nothing (no
additional buttons is added). How can I modify the form in my own
controller which only has def retrieve_password(): return dict
(form=auth.retrieve_password())?

You can use a custom view

{{=form.custom.begin}}
{{=form.custom.widget.email}}
<button> </button>
{{=form.custom.end}}

But this method will create a new form next to the retrieve password form.  How can I do it in such a way that the new Cancel button is beside the Submit button?

Nevermind.  I was able to do it by adding

form[0][-1][1].append(INPUT(_type='button',_value='Cancel',_onclick="window.location='%s';"%URL(r=request,f='index')))

which I found here: http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/2bb488401573d19f although I do not know what those indeces in the form are.

Instead of {{=form}} you can use

{{=form.custom.begin}}
{{=form.custom.widget.email}}
{{=form.custom.submit}}<button>yourbutton</button>
{{=form.custom.end}}

(this replaces {{=form}}!)
You should be place the submit and yourbutton where you like.

Anyway, the I am sure the form...append should have worked. Parhaps I
got the wrong [] index.

Instead of {{=form}} you can use

{{=form.custom.begin}}
{{=form.custom.widget.email}}

{{=form.custom.submit}}<button>yourbutton</button>
{{=form.custom.end}}

Ah, right. This works as well.

Thanks!
