Geez, one other thing I forgot! There is a bit of narrative documentation that should get you started in the Zope Book at http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/BasicObject.dtml (search for Using Sessions). - C ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karl Munroe" <mun_rok@yahoo.com> To: "Mailing List" <zope@zope.org> Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 10:10 AM Subject: [Zope] Help with accesssing session information
I need help with finding out how do I use sessions in zope
from asp I can use the Session object to track a user with the SessionId identifying the users unique session on the server.
I was looking at the API reference and came up with the fillowing :
****************************************************************************
********************* module SessionInterfaces Session API See Also
Transient Object API class SessionDataManagerErr Error raised during some session data manager operations, as explained in the API documentation of the Session Data Manager.
This exception may be caught in PythonScripts. A successful import of the exception for PythonScript use would need to be:
from Products.Sessions import SessionDataManagerErr
class BrowserIdManagerInterface Zope Browser Id Manager interface.
A Zope Browser Id Manager is responsible for assigning ids to site visitors, and for servicing requests from Session Data Managers related to the browser id.
getBrowserId(self, create=1) If create=0, returns a the current browser id or None if there is no browser id associated with the current request. If create=1, returns the current browser id or a newly-created browser id if there is no browser id associated with the current request. This method is useful in conjunction with getBrowserIdName if you wish to embed the browser-id-name/browser-id combination as a hidden value in a POST-based form. The browser id is opaque, has no business meaning, and its length, type, and composition are subject to change.
Permission required: Access contents information
Raises: BrowserIdManagerErr if ill-formed browser id is found in REQUEST.
isBrowserIdFromCookie(self) Returns true if browser id comes from a cookie.
Permission required: Access contents information
Raises: BrowserIdManagerErr. If there is no current browser id.
isBrowserIdNew(self) Returns true if browser id is new. A browser id is new when it is first created and the client has therefore not sent it back to the server in any request.
Permission required: Access contents information
Raises: BrowserIdManagerErr. If there is no current browser id.

Where can I find more documentation? Is there anyway I can make use of these modules and classes by calling them from dtml method or document? I can probably use these to simulate tracking by session, am I too wishful in my thinking? The problem is I do not want to install a product with user management such as Cookieuser folder.
I am currently using zope 2.3.3.....wanted to wrk with this one, I am going to upgrade soon.
Thanks in advance.
