Is it possible to pass a variable to RESPONSE.redirect or does the page name have to be a literal string? I was unable to pass in a variable via the REQUEST object (i.e. REQUEST.get('pageName')) or the SESSION attribute of the REQUEST object (i.e. REQUEST.SESSION.get('pageName')). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

How do you mean "unable"? That's not a very good problem description. RESPONSE.redirect is simply a Python method, and it will take any string you can manage, no matter where it comes from. In fact, I think it would be very difficult to do otherwise. You must, of course, pass the value of a variable, and not the variable itself. None of the following pose any problem:: REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect("http://plone.org") url = "http://plone.org" REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(url) def redir(): return "http://plone.org" REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(redir()) urls = {} urls['plone'] = "http://plone.org" REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(urls['plone']) REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(urls.get('plone', "/")) In fact, they should all work identically. --jcc -- "Building Websites with Plone" http://plonebook.packtpub.com/ Enfold Systems, LLC http://www.enfoldsystems.com
