hello one and all, i read the article in the book: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/4#Sharing-the-global-scope-with-modules-using-the-current-object
and so i added to my db.py model file after the assignment of db and auth: from gluon import current current.db, current.auth = db, auth and i created a new module called mcp0.py under the modules section and added say the function: def chkSession(subscribing=False): auth, db, session, request, response = current.auth, current.db, current.session, current.request, current.response tCase, tSheet = db.cases, db.worksheets ... return etc being sure that "current" is called in the function and not globally to make sure the threads are kept straight. now this is where it gets strange, when i generate a link like https://domain.com/app/controller/function/30 and click on it, the application returns an error because the argument of 30 changes to None. now if i type the 30 back into the URL, it will return the page ok. but clicking on the link, which is a correct link, somehow the argument list gets lost between the click and the function maintaining that argument list. and again, if i manually type it, the 30, the page loads fine. weird and i don't understand it. ok, let me know, lucas -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
