If you are using the new portal engine (not the portal-fw block), than you can solve your problem by using events (perhaps at least). The process of "generating" the portal is done in two steps: first step all events are processed, this includes request parameter handling, handling the info posted by the client etc. If you now send an event to your main page to modify whatever has to be done, this happens before the rendering. And the rendering is the second step. HTH Carsten
