texte = Here's one for ya' We have a site that hosts multiple users associated with different research facilities throughout the US. Each User has access to their facilities entire section of the database. Each User also has a limited access to ALL of the data from all the facilities in a combined section of the web site. The site works just fine on our OS 9 / WebTen / Apache Server but when we moved to our OS X box we ran into a problem. It is still on our OS 9 box now and can stay there but we were a bit unnerved buy the problem with OS X. Basically the user logs in and their facility ID is put into a header field in a shopping cart. As long as they are in their center it uses this facility ID to show only records from their facility. We use an Orderfile context to achiever this. Where the problem arises is when the user performs a search using a range of dates, start/end month(mrFIELDNAMEdata) and start/end year(xrFIELDNAMEdata). The search returns fine but when the user selects a link back to the 'main page' of their facility it looses the information from the cart. All the code is good and it works fine on our OS 9 box but not on the OS X box. The cart does not get deleted, it's still there in the ShoppingCarts directory. The 'main page' loads with no user data, it should say: Welcome [title] [last_name], you have [numfound] records in your facilities database, but instead all the fields are blank and the [numfound] indicates zero records found. Reloading the page does not work but Hitting the Back Button until you hit that 'main page' again resets everything just fine and it works like a charm. It seems that it only fails when you call the search page. Any Ideas? Sounds like an OS X bug to me.-- Eric Ridgley, Web/Graphic Designer...............Phone: 330.630.4487 Silver Creek, Ltd. ...............Fax: 330.630.5786 143 Northwest Avenue, Suite B101 ...............URL: www.silvercreek.net/ Tallmadge Ohio 44278 ...............URL: www.ridgley.org/------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
