Re: [Zope] forms: copying objects from request to request

Hi!

you must use a hidden form in DocumentB to transport your variable x from DocumentA to DocumentC.

The more elegant solution is using sessions for that. Like SmartWizards do for example. You'd just store the REQUEST variables you'll need with (in DTML) <dtml-call "SESSION.set('x', REQUEST.['x']">. Hidden forms work fine, but they are a hack. In some cases they even are a security risk: Anybody can open your HTML file with a text editor, manipulate the hidden form values and post the form. I saw this once with a form that changed a user's password. It held the user roles in a hidden form field. So the user could have just sent the form with "Manager" added to the hidden form field to get full system access ... Joachim
