Login form message when session time out occurs

[alex.kolaric]

Hi,

I recently got outsourcing contract job which includes developing of web portion of application using NetTalk web server. I went through all the NetTalk documents and examples on my employer's workstation and I understood most of the things (only the time will show how small my knowledge is  ) So here is one question.

I created IndexPage so it has two body options depending on GetSessionLoggedIn() condition. In case when I'm not logged I'm initially showing login page, and when I'm logged I show another body which doesn't contain embeded login page <!-- Net:LoginForm -->. Everything works well, but there is one thing I need. When session expires each option I select sends me to login form as it should, but I would like to show text line on the login page saying that I'm redirected to the login page cause session expired. This text should be hidden when I logout via regular Logout button, or initiate session from the browser address line.

Any suggestions?

thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

In the login form you can test to see if the form is in "chained" mode. Ie if the user was "going to a browse" but needed to login instead, then the Value "ChainTo" is set. At the top of the login form the sessionvalue
'ProcedureName_ChainTo' is then set.

So you can include a "Display" field on the form, which is only included if the Session Value is set. Also the name of the procedure you are going to is in ChainTo.

Cheers
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

thanks for quick answer. I had no doubt you would come up with a solution. It would be great if some of these "hidden treasures" could become part of the documentation.

Best regards,
Alex
