Hi! This is probably a Mason question, not an RT question, but since I'm completely new to both Mason and RT, and this problem happened to me for the first time just tonight, right after my very first RT installation and subsequent Mason experiments, you can probably easily reproduce the problem or point me to the right direction (that is, let me abuse of your competence about Mason, and your kindness).
I placed a <%filter> block in the topmost RT autohandler component (/opt/rt3/share/html/autohandler in my layout) and I expected to be able to filter any HTML code generated by RT, instead the <%filter> block got almost completely bypassed, that is, upon the (unique) filter activation $_ contained only the few last HTML lines of the generated page (thus even $_ = '' inside the <%filter> section did basically not alter the page). 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 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. 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 directory is empty. I've also searched through the Mason bug-reports, and this one, 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? (I'm just curious about the way Mason works, and I have no intention to customize RT this 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 BTW, RT is great! :-) Thank you, Emanuele. _______________________________________________ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.
