Title: MakePage not including pageheader
Post by: ccordes on January 04, 2012, 05:15:41 PM

I wanted to keep track of what page a user is on. As a test I put self._Trace('Page:'&p_page) in the embed before the parent.

The trace worked fine, but then the only time the page header was sent to the browser was on the index page because I call it out in the XHTML.
When I removed to embedded code, everything works normally.
I thought it was the trace that caused the error so I replaced it with a single comment. Compiled and ran and the header is missing again.

Any thought as to why this might be happening or a better place to track what page a session has been served? I thought of Sendfile, but that gets everything and I just want page names.

Thanks,
Chris

Here is the procedure in ThisNetWorker -

ThisNetWorker.MakePage PROCEDURE(<STRING p_page>,LONG p_Type=0,LONG p_Special=0,<STRING p_Title>,<String p_Header>,<string p_footer>)

  CODE
  ! Start of "NetTalk Method Executable Code Section"
  ! [Priority 2500]
  !stuff goes here <-- this breaks the headers
  ! Parent Call
  PARENT.MakePage(p_page,p_Type,p_Special,p_Title,p_Header,p_footer)
  ! [Priority 7500] 
  ! End of "NetTalk Method Executable Code Section"

! Start of "NetTalk Method Routine Section"
! [Priority 5000]

! End of "NetTalk Method Routine Section"

This just makes no sense to me.

fixed in 6.14.
thanks for the report.

For those that care, the inclusion of the embed code causes the Parent Call to pass a parameter for the header. The receiver treated "omitted" and "blank" as different.

This fix will make suppressing headers and/or footers) on specific browses and forms more cunning - instead of just '' it'll need something like 'xxx'.

Thanks, Bruce I should've seen that.
If you use  if omitted(p_page) or p_page=''  instead of if omitted(2) in the parent would that fix it?

I've tweaked it so;

if omitted(2) or p_page=''

I can't use the omitted(p_page) form because C5.5 doesn't support it.

cheers

Fixed here.
The actual fix for the header issue is
    if omitted(6) or p_header=''   !for the headers
and
    if omitted(7) or p_footer=''    !for the footers

You already have an ELSIF p_page=''  in the first condition

I'll watch for 6.14

Thanks again.
Chris
