I have a problem where a method defines a variable
but it isn't passing to the next component. I'm not sure what to do at
this point, I have spent a couple of days on this and dont know what else to
try. Obviously, there is something I have missed or otherwise do not
understand clearly. Hoping someone will be kind enough to help. I am
not new to coding but have only been working with mason a couple of months in my
spare time.
At the top of every page of my test site, there is
a simple username/password login form, and submit button. When someone
submits the form, autohandler loads a session.mpl module which then loads
index.html.
I am trying to define a $var in session and pass it
to index. I am showing that it is being defined, however, index.html never
gets it. Totally puzzling.
init section of autohandler contains: my $reqargs = $m->request_args;
my $mode = $reqargs->{mode}; if($mode eq 'login-submit'){ $page_content = $m->comp('session.mpl:login', %ARGS); } else{ $page_content = $m->scomp($m->fetch_next, %ARGS); } OK, when someone submits a username password with login form, mode ==
'login-submit'.
* session.mpl is successfully receiving %ARGS with username and
password.
* session.mpl successfully defines $toptext but does not seem to pass it to index.html. .. from session.mpl:
if($password eq undef){ $toptext = 'Invalid Password'; }
I also have $toptext => undef in my %args section of the session:login
method.
so finally, session.mpl loads the next component (index.html):
$page_content = $m->scomp($m->fetch_next, %ARGS);
return $page_content; %ARGS should contain $toptext => 'Invalid Password' at this point.
$page_content is then displayed by autohandler.
if I return $toptext, I am seeing it is being defined as expected.
Why isnt index.html grabbing the ARG??
The only problem is that I am defining $toptext but it never displays in
index.html. I dont understand. Everything says you can define a $var
in a module and pass it on but I'm not sure why it isnt working for me... let me
know how I can help you help me.
The only thing left to say is ARGH! in a frustrated pirate sorta voice.
:)
Much thanks for any assistance,
Kris
