Hi Anthony, Thanks for getting back - I understood your point. I included it in one of my functions and called it where it worked. for example I called it in dashboard() function which is used to show the dashboard and is the first landing page of my application. However now whenever I want to navigate to some other page it gives me the following error - Basically it is the same error I got before. It is trying to fetch value of user_right1 . I have even defined* user_right1* as global and provided a default value for example
global user_right1 user_right1=False *Error*: 127.0.0.1.2018-06-06.15-16-08.ba03dfb3-628e-42bf-9b34-fe8a6d34c5ec *<type 'exceptions.NameError'> name 'user_right1' is not defined* Version web2py™ Version 2.15.3-stable+timestamp.2017.08.07.12.51.45 Python Python 2.7.13: C:\Python27\python.exe (prefix: C:\Python27) Traceback 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Code in my controller is pretty simple it retrieves the value stored in the database and checks whether it is *True *or *False *and based on the value it provides module access to the users *default.py * global user_right1 user_right1 = False def dashboard(): ##Code to retrieve the value user_right1=True return dict(user_right1=user_right1) in my *layout *page - *sbadmin2_layout.html - Remember this is the layout page * {{if patchmanRight==True:}} <li>..... -- -- Show few modules else not </li> {{pass}} What could be done to fix this issue as it will keep on giving me this error for every other navigation in the application unless it is dashboard.html ? Thanks! Rahul D.
