Re: [mv] Trouble with logging in users
****** message to minivend-users from Ed LaFrance <edlafrance@printexusa.com> ******
Masahiro -
You should be able to create the entries in userdb.asc. The next time
Minivend accesses userdb (like a login attempt), it should detect the
revision in the .asc version and import it into the userdb proper. Then
you should be able to log in as one of your government users.
If you want a user to be able to create their own government user account,
just create a modified version of new_account.html with a hidden form field
which sets the value if is_gov:
<input type=hidden name=is_gov value="yes">
If this does not address your problem, then I do not understand what the
problem is.
