[#1] $page_content =
$m->scomp($m->fetch_next, toptext => $toptext);
..and alas it wasn't working, so then I switched it
to:
[#2] $page_content =
$m->scomp($m->fetch_next, %ARGS);
dumb idea.. OK - Long story short.. I switched it
back to #1 and still wasn't working.
SOLUTION: * Finally,
I stopped apache, did an 'rm -rf mason/obj/*', and then restarted
Apache to resolve the problem. *
I am running Mason 1.28 with mod_perl 1.29 under
Apache 1.3.34 w/ APXS. I always compile Apache and everything from source
and build in everything as DSO.
Can anyone confirm whether or not this is a
bug and if it has been resolved in later releases of Mason?
On a final note, I am now
$m->scomp($m->fetch_next, toptext => $toptext, %ARGS);

Subject: [Mason] problem with method
defining and passing %ARGS
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
