[Repoze-dev] flashing messages with bfg
Hey folks, wondering what the conventional way of flashing a message after a model update when using HTTPFound for redirects. Is this something that people roll-their-own for, or is there a standard to follow? I'd like to make sure my crud app is as bfg'ish as possible so it can be useful to others.

And in the template:
div class=someclass${message}/div
Thanks Chris. The convention in the other frameworks that I've used is
that the message is 'flashed' when handling the update from a post, and
displayed after the redirect, to avoid the problem when a user hits
resend after a post that should not occur twice. So usually the flash
helper is a simple utility to set, read, and wipe a session variable or
cookie. I guess bfg is not making any assumptions about session vars or
cookies though?
If you are thinking of adding such a thing to bfg, I'll hold off on my
own ( or use a really crappy one ). Can we set a simple cookie with
webob maybe as an ultralight version that doesn't depend on a particular
method of storing session vars?
thanks

Since BFG depends on no particular persistence mechanism, BFG has no built-in
session support, although I often use this pair of packages to get it:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/repoze.browserid/0.1
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/repoze.session/0.2
Of course any sessioning system would work just as well (ala Beaker).

No, I'm not.

Sure, although I'm not sure that requires any particular API support from BFG.
