Hello,

I'm trying to set up a database to limit record to one per user, and add a record when they create an account.

The Limit Records mod says:


But, a few lines down the comments say:


Which is true? I'm making a terrible mess of things.

No matter what I try, I can't seem to get a password field to show up when the user tries to sign up and add the record, and of course, I get a password error message when trying to add it.

I have double-checked everything, and started from scratch with a fresh copy of the script -- no other mods.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Lisa

The easiest way to have a user only add 1 record is to use the UserID as your keyfield.

You can find more information about how to direct them to the add_form after they sign up by checking the FAQ noted below under the section "Admin/Navigate" for the thread called "Send user to add_form after sign up"

Hope this helps

Ah, OK -- I think I'm beginning to understand. I had read that FAQ thread before, but now I see that it works differently than I thought. I didn't realize that the user had to get the ID and password and then login and create a record. I thought this all happened at once.

I'm still confused about whether the Limit Records mod and Secure Password Lookup mods work together -- the two comments in the Limit Records mod (see above) seem to be contradictory.

Yes, the two mods do work together .. but in order to use both you have to follow the sequence of installing each mod so it works correctly. And then following the instructions which pertain to whether you are using it with or without the secure password lookup.

Hope that makes sense.
