Login forms do not have registration

Anvil Q&A
1

Hi!
Your manual states:
"login_with_form([show_signup_option=True], [remember_by_default=True], [allow_remembered=True], [allow_cancel=False])

Display a login form and allow user to log in. Returns user object if logged in, or None if cancelled.
show_signup_option: if True, the form will also show the option to sign up for a new account."
But, then i add:
“anvil.users.login_with_form(show_signup_option=True)”
i get a form without the ability to register a new user.

What am I doing wrong?

Can you quickly check if you have “Allow Visitors to Sign up” enabled in the “Users” module, under “Services”?

Yes, that was the problem! Thanks for your reply.

This one bit me too. I was getting very frustrated until I found this!
While I admit this wound was entirely self-inflicted, I suspect it’s a not uncommon experience, and might warrant a small update in the docs to point out this particular gotcha.
