Whoops. Forgot where replies to this list go. Sorry Sean!
If someone clicks a link to app.pl?rm=edit and their session has
expired, is there a way to redirect them to rm=edit after they log in?
( as opposed to them seeing the default rm after logging in)
I'm just trying to wrap my head around all this stuff before doing any
coding.
Yep, but you need to store the "desired" run_mode in a hidden field on
your
login page. If you have something in pre-run that checks for "logged
in",
if a person isn't logged in and wants to get to rm edit, then you can
just
put a hidden field on your login page that is something like
'desired=edit'.
Then, when you process the login, if the desired field is set, just
redirect
to that run mode. Make sense?

My 2 cents...
I used the method shown here:
http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/CGI-Session/CookBook.html#members_area
So I don't have a separate "login" run mode. In setup(), I specify
that I'll use a subroutine reference for the mode parameter. Then, my
get_mode() method:
- Checks to make sure that the mode parameter was specified. If not,
I'm just starting, so I return the display login mode.
- Checks to see we're logged in. If so, return the requested mode.
- Checks to see if we've submitted a login form. If not, the session
has expired (not logged in but requested a mode), so the entire
$self->query->Vars() hash is saved into hidden fields, the requested
mode is saved as well, and an error message is set. Then the display
login mode is returned.
- If we've come this far, we've submitted the login form, so we process
that. An error can be handled the same as an expired login, while a
completion would result in the method returning the requested mode.
This actually takes place in my superclass that I build applications
off of. I've added a call to a my_modify_mode() method before all of
this, which allows a great deal of flexibility, but only when needed.
Hope this helps.
