That's what I've been experimenting with the last couple of days, it works
fine for the single page views, however, nodes can have sites with multiple
views, and different nodes can be visited in more than one browser window.
In case of sites with multiple views, the router function always routes to
an index function, in which I build the menu for the current node and store
it in session[id], this is part of the code:
aboutnav=db((db.NodeNav.nodeID==id)&(db.NodeNav.navID==db.Nav.id)&(db.Nav.navbarID==ABOUTNAVBARID)).select(db.Nav.ALL,db.NodeNav.ALL,orderby=db.Nav.position).as_list()
if aboutnav:
session[id].aboutnav=True
for r in aboutnav:
if r['Nav']['id']==ABOUTNAVID and r['NodeNav']['frontend']:
session[id].site_menu.append([T(r['Nav']['name']),False,'#'])
elif r['NodeNav']['frontend']:
session[id].about_dropdown.append([T(r['Nav']['name']),False,URL(r['Nav']['frontendcontroller'],r['Nav']['function'],args=id)])
f=r['Nav']['function']
if f:
session[id].f=True
The last three lines, are what I am experimenting with right now. Every
function that is referenced by a menu item starts with:
def eventList():
f=request.function
if not len(request.args):
redirect(URL('addressbook','router'))
elif not session[request.args(0)]:
redirect(URL('addressbook','router',args=request.args(0)))
elif not session[request.args(0)].f:
redirect(URL('addressbook','router',args=request.args(0)))
else:
....
So far, this seems to solve the problem.
Is it possible to put these conditions in a separate function, and call
that function from every function that needs it? Something like:
def access():
f=request.function
if not len(request.args):
redirect(URL('addressbook','router'))
elif not session[request.args(0)]:
redirect(URL('addressbook','router',args=request.args(0)))
elif not session[request.args(0)].f:
redirect(URL('addressbook','router',args=request.args(0)))
else:
return True
def eventList():
if access()
....
Kind regards,
Annet
