This is a question I have for some time now: How to get your framework object into the depth of all the RDBO and RHTMLO objects (DB table/manager, HTML forms, special fields). I use CGI::Application as my framework and Template Toolkit as my templating engine and it is so helpful to have the CGI::Application object within the template as 'c'. So I can just say c.session.param('something'). Thanks Cees! Are there any similar solutions out there for the Rose family of Objects? E.g. I need something to list the dates of the currently logged in user. At the moment I have to explicitely pass the CGI::Application object (or the id of the user). It would be so helpful if it was already there somehow. Cheers, Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
