Although now that I think about it, how else would you do such a thing in TG? The only other option I can think of would require identity, and I am not even sure what I am thinking is correct. Mostly though I am worried that people will rely on tg_flash for notifications and forget to tell people that they need cookies turned on for that to work. I'ts both stored in a cookie and sent in "tg_flash" to the template so both of the following snippets can work: 1) def controller_method(....): # save data flash("Your data was saved") redirect(...) 2) def controller_method(....): if a: flash("a is true") return dict(...) As you can see, 1) is issuing a HTTP redirect so the only way to store state between this request and the one answering the redirect is with a cookie. In 2) the message is just stored in tg_flash and shown in the same request. As it has been mentioned, you can store almost anything in tg_flash if you encode it in JSON and process it client-side with _javascript_.. You can look at an example of using this technique here: http://tinyurl.com/fwwza HTH, Alberto. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
