[cfaussie] RE: Trying to write some session variables

I can't tell you exactly why anymore, but I thought it was better to use 
structKeyExists(session, "log_Access") instead of <cfif 
isdefined("session.log_Access")>

Thanks Steve,

Just cleared it up for me also.

I thought I was on the right track.. but sometimes I'm just not 100% sure.

Also. Is it necessary to set the values by using a cfparam? why not just set the 
values normally?
whats the benefit of using a cfparam in that situation?

Cheers

Gareth.

Seona,

The way application.cfm works is that it runs before any template, so
what your page is doing is:

1. the user logs in so the application.cfm template is processed before
the login_action.cfm template, so at that point the session variables
are set correctly

2. the cflocation sends the user to the index.cfm page BUT...

3. the application.cfm template is processed before the index.cfm page,
effectively resetting all your session variables to the defaults!

Hope this makes sense?

I suggest putting an <cfif isdefined("session.log_Access")> around the
code in the application.cfm template so that if these variables are
defined then don't reset them.

Regards,

Steve c

Hi guys,

I have a problem where I am specifying some default values in
Application.cfm as follows:

<cflock scope="session" type="exclusive" timeout="10">
   <cfparam name="session.log_Access" default="0">
   <cfparam name="session.log_ID" default="">
   <cfparam name="session.log_Name" default="">
</cflock>

I am then running some code when a user logs in which should, in theory,
overwrite these values with the logged-in values:

<cfoutput>
<cfif qry_GetUserLogin.recordcount>
   <cflock scope="session" type="exclusive" timeout="10">
      <cfset session.log_Access = "#qry_GetUserLogin.AccessLevel#">
      <cfset session.log_Name = "#qry_GetUserLogin.LoginName#">
      <cfset session.log_ID = "#qry_GetUserLogin.ID#">
      <cflocation url="index.cfm" addtoken="no">
   </cflock>
<cfelse>
        <cflocation url="index.cfm" addtoken="no">
</cfif>
</cfoutput>

What I am getting, however, is that when I am returned to the home page
I am
not getting the new values in the session variables (I have some
temporary
code to output the values of these variables on the front page so I can
monitor what's happening to them).

The really strange thing is that I found if I remove the <cflocation>
after
I set the variables, then they take. Why is this? Surely the
<cflocation>
shouldn't actually take effect until it reaches that part of the code,
should it?

Cheers,

Seona.
