Hi Keith, in addition to Andre’s valuable tips I would like to comment that your approach should actually work, but be advised to make sure you include your custom library as described here:
https://revigniter.com/userGuide/general/creating_libraries.html Furthermore you can leave your function as is i.e. call your library function within your DocLogin.lc controller like: put myDocLoginHandler() into gData["doc_token"] For debugging purposes make sure the logs folder is writable, set the gConfig["logThreshold"] in config.lc to 4 and check the log file in case something goes wrong.
