I also tried to change the value of theButton key like so: <dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('submit')"> <dtml-if "REQUEST.get('submit') == 'Login'"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('submit', 'LoggedIn')"> </dtml-if> </dtml-if> But if refresh the button it still thinks it has the value Login instead of the value LoggedIn :( -----Original Message----- From: zope-bounces@zope.org [mailto:zope-bounces@zope.org] On Behalf Of Dvir Bar-lev Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 10:33 AM To: zope@zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] session data object question Hi I have a button like that but the the problem is that it also has this value if I refresh the page, what I mean Is this, I put in the logged_in page: <dtml-if "Request.has_key('theButton')> Do something </dtml-if> And it has the key even if I refresh the page. I also tried to put <dtm-var theButton> to see if it keeps this value after we refresh the page and it does. What I need is a way to know if we loaded the page as a result of pressing the button or as a result of refreshing the page, as I need to do different things in each case. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Milton [mailto:akm@theinternet.com.au] Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 10:15 AM To: Dvir Bar-lev Cc: zope@zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] session data object question +-------[ Dvir Bar-lev ]---------------------- | Hi | | | | I was wondering if there is a way to connect the creation of a session object | to a button push. | | I?ll explain in more detail: | | | | I have a log in from called login_form, and I have a dtml method called | looged_in that is called when we push the submit button in the log in form. | | What I did is the following, in the log_in_form I get a session data object | only if it exsists and I check how much time passed and act accordingly, in the | looged_in method I create the data session oblject ans set the start time. | | Unfortuantly that is not good for me because if a user refreshes the page it | resets the time in the session object, I was wondering if there is a way for me | to know if I can reset the session data time only when the user clicks the | submit button and not as a result of a refresh call. Name the submit button and check for the name of the button in the request. <input type="submit" name="theButton" value="Press Me"> "theButton" will appear in REQUEST (and REQUEST.form) if the button was pressed. -- Andrew Milton akm@theinternet.com.au _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
