[Archetypes-users] storing CMFMember username/password w/ AT's SQLStorage

[Robby D. <ro...@ve...>]

Hey guys,

This has to do with both CMFMember (2.0beta2) and AT (1.3b2), so I'm
posting to both lists.

Basically, I'm using SQLStorage with my own CMFMember type. Most
everything is going fine, but I would like to store the CMFMember 'id'
(username) and 'password' fields in the database as well.

I've fooled with this for hours, trying to get it to work. Here's what
I've tried:

1. copying the Username and password field schema text from
CMFMember/Member.py (I believe) into my custom schema to override the
default ones, and adding the SQLStorage line (storage=DB2SQLStorage()
for me) line at the end. This seemed the most direct but was a no go.

2. Then I got the idea to make two more fields (call them 'myusername'
and 'myuserpass') instead and replicate the data from self.getId() and
self.getPassword() into them, via custom accessor and mutator methods. I
tried about everything I could think of here, also a no go. When I would
create a user via the join form, the get accessors would eventually show
the right userid and password, but that would never get committed to the
database via SQLStorage.

Both of these methods always yielded no text in the appropriate username
and password DB fields. What I'm wondering is if anyone has done this
before, or if anyone has any idea how to go about this and could give me
some pointers. At this point I'm thinking that the choice of storage
layer for a given field impacts the generation of that field's AT-made
mutators and accessors (i.e. I might have to grab the storage object
myself and do a set() for the fields within their mutators?)

Thanks for ANY help!
