Hi annet
Saying it's useless I meant that setting the message after logging
in , I didn't mean to be mean at all, sorry that you misunderstood
me :)
Now let's rethink you solution :
It will work right ? but when ?
it will work if you just in the index page made something like:
def index():
if auth.is_logged_in():
response.flash = auth.messages.logged_in
return dict(message=T('Hello World'))
Now see ..... you need an extra check to make sure that user is logged
in
this extra check has to be at all functions .
now if you've something like:
@auth.requires_login()
def go():
return dict(message=T('Hello World'))
and you just put the link into browser
http://127.0.0.1/default/go
when you're not logged in
what will happen ?
you will be redirected to login page then after succefull login you'll
be returned to the page "go"
which has no login welcome flash message set :)
Now the solution is to put
if auth.is_logged_in():
response.flash = auth.messages.logged_in
at the controller level so you can move the code out of every
controller function
Now what will happen ?!!!!
every time when you visit a page you'll see the welcome message :)
moreover you need to put it all controllers you've
and at last
the logout will not work if you've already a flash message in the page
[index]
So , your solution may work but it's not general , it's just work for
you and I was talking generally :D
