Hello!
I want to personalize a website.
That is; I have a welcome page
with some links on, say link A, B and
C. If a guest presses link B
I want that to affect the design
of all the later pages that this guest sees.
However, if the guest returns to
the welcome page and presses link C,
I want all the following pages
that this guest sees, to have some other look
(the “C
look”).
I am not so good at programming in
python so I guess my easiest shot will
be to use cookies (please correct me
if I am wrongJ). Now, I found
some
example in the Zope book. If the guest
chooses link B I could set a cookie
using the following
statement:
<dtml-call expr="RESPONSE.setCookie('guest_B')">
and then later for the page design,
use some “if” statement like this:
<if request.cookies.has_key('guest_B'>
(Please correct me if the program
lines here are wrongJ, I am really not
sure
about how to use the apostrophe ‘ sign
in these statements)
But if the guest now goes back to
the welcome page and chooses link C
he or she will still have the “guest_B” cookie. My question is
then:
How do I erase the “guest_B” cookie?
Now, I am also slightly aware of
that there is some parameter option in
the “setCookie” statement. That is: I could maybe have a setCookie statement
that went like
this:
<dtml-call expr="RESPONSE.setCookie('guest', ‘B’)">
and then use or change the parameter
to the cookie “guest” My second
question is hence; if this would be a
better solution than trying to erase
the cookie as previously
described.
Thank you very
much!
