Paul If it's the same application, can't you just set <cfset session.userid = user_details.user_id>
And then user that variable between the sections to identify the user? Mark -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 June 2004 11:36 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ cf-dev ] Whats wrong? Can anyone see whats wrong with this please? I set the variable cross_nav & display it in the corner just to make sure its there ....(which it is) Then I call on this cross_nav later on when the user navigates away from this page. I just need to keep a few variables set to track this user as a head teacher. <!--- Is user logged in ? ---> <cfif not isdefined("session.loggedin")> <cflocation url="loggedin/password.cfm?page_id=individ.cfm"> </cfif> <!--- Decode the user_type_id ---> <cfif isdefined("url.data")> <cfoutput> <cfset cross_nav = #url.data#> #cross_nav# </cfoutput> <cfset decoded=decrypt(url.data,application.key)> <!--- Get the users ID passed from login ---> <cfquery name="get_head" datasource="webuserDSN"> SELECT user_details.user_id, user_details.dfeeNo, user_details.user_type_id, phases.phase FROM phases INNER JOIN user_details ON phases.phase_id = user_details.phase_id WHERE (user_details.user_Id = #decoded#) </CFQUERY> <!--- Is this user a head teacher ---> <cfif get_head.user_type_id eq 2> <cfoutput query="get_head"> <cfset url.phase = #phase#> <cfset url.school = #dfeeno#> </cfoutput> </cfif> </cfif> Blah Blah Blah ...... Frontpage themes & navigation stuff <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- if(MSFPhover) { MSFPnav1n=MSFPpreload("_derived/compschs.htm_cmp_grid010_vbtn.gif"); MSFPnav1h=MSFPpreload("_derived/compschs.htm_cmp_grid010_vbtn_a.gif"); } // --> </script> <cfoutput> <a href="compschs.cfm?data=#cross_nav#" language="JavaScript" onmouseover="if(MSFPhover) document['MSFPnav1'].src=MSFPnav1h.src" onmouseout="if(MSFPhover) document['MSFPnav1'].src=MSFPnav1n.src"> <img src="_derived/compschs.htm_cmp_grid010_vbtn.gif" width="165" height="23" border="0" alt="School Comparative Data" name="MSFPnav1"> </a> </cfoutput> <br> As a bit of background you can see what I am doing here http://perform.bgfl.org Login in as Alison Marshall password Glenmead. (This head can only see her own schools data) User now navigates away say to School Comparative Data and then back to individual School Data. The system needs to know that this is the same person back again. Should I be doing this with cookies...?
