Dear experts
Yes - thanks - it is possible to use Javascript flow to access URL parameters and update user roles. Question: Is it possible to use a JavaScript flow to automatically change the user login? Thank you Valerie Nyre Maas High Tech Software _______________________________________________ daisy community mailing list Professional Daisy support: http://outerthought.org/en/services/daisy/support.html mail to: daisy@... list information: http://lists.cocoondev.org/mailman/listinfo/daisy |

I'm not sure what you are asking. Did you try the obvious?
i.e. I am starting to feel like a helpdesk, this is not how things work here. Please show me that you did at least some research, preferably by showing what code you already have, indicating what does work, what does not work, why you think it does not work, what do you expect your code to do, what it actually does etc etc. Here is something that may you get started with scripting the repository: http://cocoondev.org/daisydocs-1_3/repository/interfaces/153-cd.html Karel On Thu, 2008-06-26 at 17:48 +0200, Valerie Nyre wrote: > Dear experts > > Yes - thanks - it is possible to use Javascript flow to access URL > parameters and update user roles. > > Question: > Is it possible to use a JavaScript flow to automatically change the user > login? > > > > Thank you > > Valerie Nyre > Maas High Tech Software > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > daisy community mailing list > Professional Daisy support: http://outerthought.org/en/services/daisy/support.html > mail to: daisy@... > list information: http://lists.cocoondev.org/mailman/listinfo/daisy daisy community mailing list Professional Daisy support: http://outerthought.org/en/services/daisy/support.html mail to: daisy@... list information: http://lists.cocoondev.org/mailman/listinfo/daisy |

Much better ;-)
Note that I have never written an extension that logs in people programmatically, and I have only seen frontEndContext.login being used in the context of the LoginApple. Other than that, it seems your are doing well - I don't see why frontEndContext.login should not be used. That being said, I assume that you are having problems with these lines: > frontEndContext.login(helpUserLogin,helpUserPassword); > > showPage(helpUserLogin,helpUserPassword); Can you tell us what the result is of these lines? Is there any logging output? Karel On Fri, 2008-06-27 at 13:05 +0200, Valerie Nyre wrote: > Hello > > > Yes I understand.
