but then you may miss out on tracking. And if you use database to store
it anyways, then u can use the db in the first place also :-)

Yes, these are much better approaches expecially (imo)
the xml approach as it has fewer "moving parts" - no
quartz and also, it doesn't have the overhead of
talking to a db.

Alternatively you could be using flow for this and
reading the variable from an xml file - along with
any other useful info such as user name etc - and
also checking the time using javascript in flow and
testing if the last login was before/after midnight
and then resetting as needed.
AFAIK (and a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!)
the so-called "global variable" in the Cocoon
sitemap
is more like a "global constant"... but I'd like to
hear
differently.
[There was a previous thread on dynamically creating
subsitemaps... I thibnk one of the developers said
it
could be done but was somewhat dubious about its
lack of merits and possible dangers... but, hey,
you're
a programmer and current "Master of the Universe"!!]

Alternatively, you could log every logon to the
system with a database
timestamp and do checking there.
It's just a matter of what is more familiar to you,
there are various
ways of achieving this.

Hi,
I am wondering how best to do this in Cocoon:
When a user logs in, the user has to check if they
are
the first person to login for the day and if so,
do
some tasks.
To do this, I though of setting a global variable
say
FIRST_LOGIN=true at midnight every night - using
the
Quartz scheduler.
Then when a user logged in, as part of the
authentication logic, I would have them check this
variable and do the action if it was true. Of
course,
after doing the action, they would set this
variable
to false.
Any pointers as to how this can best be done would
be
appreciated. I am unable to implement this
approach
at present as I do not know how to set a global
variable whose value can be altered dynamcially.
thx
Paul
