As for "how they work", I personally found the example "Using Autohandlers and Dhandlers together" to be an excellent example. That's at the end of Chapter 3. Of course, the whole chapter is great, but [for me] that section in particular got me clued in... > I'm doing a simple example with mason, where i have a form to login, i > though i could use dhandler to create(or emulate) a directory with the name > of the user that will login, but i'm really stuck and don't even know if > dhandler is for those things. > > If you can help me, giving me some light's would be really nice. I'm not sure what you mean by "emulate" a directory. It's not clear to me how the above could be achieved...maybe this might work: Suppose a user logs in and after entering the password, they are taken to: http://www.example.com/users/johndoe/ . So far, unrelated to dhandlers. But if you created a directory /users but not /users/johndoe, then you could add a dhandler in /users which would do what that Chapter 3 section at the end does. Instead of "newspapers for a requested date", it would be a user name. I guess that would work...but I'm not sure what this achieved since when the user logged in, you knew their login ID. dhandlers are handy when you are given a URL and go up the chain of dhandlers. In your case, the user logged in and you have his/her user ID already; forming a URL just to exploit dhandlers seems like you're taking an extra step... Sorry...maybe I'm missing something there; but hope this helps a bit! Ray ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
