passing session id in an XML file

[Deborah Sherwood]

Hi,

I have a site that uses flash, XML and lasso. I set a session to use  
both cookies and links.

The nav menu is a flash component that uses an XML file.

Would I have to re-write the XML file every time a session is started  
to store the session ID in the XML link?

The session is not passing when I click on the menu link.

???

Deborah

I have normally just passed the session_id as part of the url link to  
the flash component as a a parameter. I am not sure it would work in  
your case. This would likely require some work inside the Flash  
component if you want to propagate the link method of passing a session.

You should not have to do this if you just use cookies

Hi Deco,

I realized after I posted this that I can easily pass a variable in  
the xml without rewriting it (xxx.lasso?Token.myVar=[$varid]). Is the  
session id not a variable?

I will try it with just cookies, too.

THANKS

No need to create a variable. Just use:

[session_id:-name="xxx"]

It will append the session value to it.

You may want to append the full session link.

-session=xxx:[session_id:-name="xxx"]

You can also use lp_session_id to generate that string:

        <a href="somepage.lasso?[lp_session_id(-url)->join('&')]">my link</a>

The advantage there is it will grab all session IDs and you don't need to know the name of the session(s).

Tag is here:

        <http://tagswap.net/lp_session_id/>

Thanks Bill,

I'm not that familiar with custom tags - can I just include your tag  
in the lassoscript on my page?

I'm still getting this in the address bar:

...myLassoPage.lasso?[lp_session_id(-url)->join('&')]

Here is a node from my .xml page

<mainitem title="Upload" link="myLasspPage.lasso?[lp_session_id(-url)-
 >join('&')]" target="" enabled="true" icon="">
</mainitem>

in other words, its not working.

Yes, or place it in the LassoStartup folder and restart Lasso.

If you're seeing Lasso code in the URL, then that's an issue with your setup, not my tag.  Either that file isn't being served as a Lasso file, or you have that section of code surrounded by HTML comments, [noprocess] or some other funkery that is preventing Lasso from processing the Lasso code.
