Or, if you just need to run some code before a template is rendered:
Menu(Loc("test", List("landing"), "test", Template{() =>
println("Hit the template URL");
// Handle Empty case :-)
TemplateFinder.findAnyTemplate(List("mytemplat","index")).open_!
}))

Ah. In that case, does this help:
Menu(Loc("Some", List("some","page"), "Some",
EarlyResponse(() => {
// do some response here,
// return Empty if you dont want
// a response but a filter style
// intercept.
Empty
})
))
Does that help?
Cheers, Tim

Not sure if the landing page is static, has parameters etc and what
you
want to do afterwards.
Assume you need to render some template and the landing page is not
static (if it is you could just use a normal Loc) I would probably
wrap
the landing page in a RewriteRequest, and when a match is made, do
the
user creation/lookup thing and then just render the template.

Also, I've been using the Locs from CRUDify as an example of how to
do
more custom-type Locs with rewriting.

[Lift] Re: catch a URL
Hi Tim, I don't specifically want to rewrite anything. What I want is to be able to run some initialization code when a specific page is requested. As I said, I'm writing a google app engine app that uses google's authentication service to auth users (using their google account). I'm instructing the auth service to returned the authenticated user to their home page, a page protected and mapped via SiteMap. However, if it's their first time logging in, I need to bootstrap them in my app. Rewriting was suggested by Jeppe, and I had thought that way might work. It doesn't seem to, b/c Lift doesn't appear to fire the rewriters on URLs mapped in SiteMap. I'm not married to the idea of rewrites to solve this problem, I just need a non-snippet way to solve it. -chris Timothy Perrett wrote: > Chris, > > SiteMap deals with what pages you are saying should be visible.

[Lift] Re: catch a URL
Chris, SiteMap deals with what pages you are saying should be visible. Here, I term "page" as the physical xhtml file that represents the stuff the users sees - its a file on your system. Rewritten URLs dont need to feature in SiteMap because lift is clever enough to know that the page you are rewriting to already has (or has not) been allowed access via sitemap. Sounds like your trying to add rewritten URLs to your sitemap? Cheers, Tim PS: Jeppe, thanks for the link recycling!!

[Lift] Re: catch a URL
Thanks for that link, however it doesn't seem like rewrite rules fire for paths that are mapped in the SiteMap. Can anyone confirm that? I could have the redirect point to a non-existing URL, and do logic + rewrite there. I'm curious though, are rewrites considered if the URL matches a page in the SiteMap?
