[web2py] How to response.flash when Profile is saved, and not when viewed.

[Rob_McC]

Any help on this would be  appreciated...


For my app, when a user saves their Profile,
I want them to stay on Profile, with at 
response.flash = T("Profile SAVED.")  
message at top.

I have it all working, but the message is displayed
when the user clicks on nav bar Profile
AND
when they press the save button.

How do I get the message to ONLY flash, when they press
Save button. I don't know how to sense the two conditions, since URL is the 
same for both.


Thanks!
Rob


Details here:
Just create a NEW simple app, and I added the code as shown below.



In Default.py

def user():
    """
    exposes:
    http://..../[app]/default/user/login
    http://..../[app]/default/user/logout
    http://..../[app]/default/user/register
    http://..../[app]/default/user/profile
    http://..../[app]/default/user/retrieve_password
    http://..../[app]/default/user/change_password
    use @auth.requires_login()
        @auth.requires_membership('group name')
        @auth.requires_permission('read','table name',record_id)
    to decorate functions that need access control
    """
    if request.args(0)=='profile':
            response.flash = T("Profile SAVED.")

    return dict(form=auth())
    
    
 
 In db.py
 ## configure auth policy
auth.settings.registration_requires_verification = False
auth.settings.registration_requires_approval = False
auth.settings.reset_password_requires_verification = True

saving profile
auth.settings.profile_next = URL('user/profile')

In layout.html
