Another solution would be to attach the option to each and every URL and always pass it around. But I can't see how to do that with forms; I'd have to persuade the form to return a value that it has received itself via its URL, but which is neither displayed nor entered by the user.
Any ideas?
Konrad, I'll probably get this wrong, but: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- templateStr = """... <FORM METHOD="POST" ...> <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="userOption" VALUE="<!--#var user_option-->"> ... """ class PublishedThingy: some_form = DocumentTemplate.HTML(templateStr) def gimme_form(self, user_option): """Generate some form, with user_option (from the URL) embedded.""" return some_form(self, user_option=user_option) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gimme_form returns a form which can be POSTed, and which contains the user_option as a hidden input. If the user visits .../gimme_form using a GET, they supply the user_option as a URL parameter. For a POST, it could be supplied as a form input or as a URL parameter.
