Hi! I'm completely new to Mason, and this problem happened just few hours ago, right after my very first (though successful) Request Tracker installation and my very first contact with Mason.
(Running RT under mod_perl) I placed a <%filter> block inside the topmost RT autohandler component (/opt/rt3/share/html/autohandler in my RT layout) thinking that this way I could filter any HTML code generated by RT, instead the <%filter> block got mostly bypassed, that is, the filter block was entered *only* once and $_ contained only the few last HTML lines of the generated page (thus even $_ = '' inside the <%filter> section did basically not alter the page). I expected instead that $_ contained the whole HTML page generated by RT (though possibly in several chunks). After a lot of digging in the Mason docs, I've tried removing some of the various $m->flush_buffer scattered over the others RT's Mason (lower level) components, and this seemed to alleviate (if not solve) the problem, in the sense that this way I could get much more HTML code in $_ inside the filter placed in the topomost autohandler. In other words it seems that $m->flush_buffer bypasses the <%filter> block in a higher level component, which is different from what the Mason docs state, if I understood them. Also consider that my local RT directory is empty, so it can't interfere in any way. I've also searched through the Mason bug-reports, and this behavior, in a sense, seems to be the opposite of an old Mason bug (now fixed), which caused $m->flush_buffer to be a no-op in presence of a <%filter> block... Could you please check this problem, or tell me if I'm making some stupid mistake or missing something? (BTW, I'm just interested about the way Mason works, and I have no intention to customize RT this way, which I understand is not the proper way). My setup is: RT 3.6.2 RC1 (fresh installation, no customizations) HTML::Mason 1.35 perl 5.8.8 Apache 2.2.3 mod_perl 2.0.2 Mac OS X 10.4.8 Thank you, Emanuele. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
