Hi all This is surely a very basic beginners problem - I am biologist and only starting to learn programming. It may well be a java script issue and have nothing to do with couchdb.
In my couchapp ( http://barbalex.iriscouch.com/evab-ch_barbalex_evab/_design/evab/index.html , https://github.com/barbalex/EvabMobile) every page needs to know the user name as that is saved in every file. After logging in I get the user name like this in every page: *User = ""; //use global variable to save user name in* *$.couch.session({* * success : function(r) {* * userCtx = r.userCtx;* * if (userCtx.name) {* * //save user name in variable* * User = userCtx.name;* * } else {* * //user is not logged in, present the login page* * window.open(Pfad + "index.html", target="_self");* * }* * }* *});* There probably are several problems here (for example using a global variable, not using a dedicated function to fetch the username) which is probably why this is bugging me - the variable "User" doesn't seem to return the username correctly - sometimes it does, others it doesn't (even though "GET http://barbalex.iriscouch.com/_session"; returns " {"ok":true,"userCtx":{"name":"z","roles":[]},"info":{"authentication_db":"_users","authentication_handlers" :["oauth","cookie","default"],"authenticated":"cookie"}}"). I have spent a while now on this problem and come to the point where I need a pointer. I don't expect you experts to teach me java script of course. It would be great if you could point me to some couchapps I could look into to learn how this (and other stuff) is done correctly. I looked into AndroidGrocerySync for Android. But it seems to be a native app programmed in java. Your help is much appreciated! Alex
