Is it possible to pass a variable to RESPONSE.redirect or does the page
name have to be a literal string? I was unable to pass in a variable via
the REQUEST object (i.e. REQUEST.get('pageName')) or the SESSION attribute
of the REQUEST object (i.e. REQUEST.SESSION.get('pageName')). Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks.
How do you mean "unable"? That's not a very good problem description.
RESPONSE.redirect is simply a Python method, and it will take any string
you can manage, no matter where it comes from. In fact, I think it would
be very difficult to do otherwise.
You must, of course, pass the value of a variable, and not the variable
itself. None of the following pose any problem::
REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect("http://plone.org";)
url = "http://plone.org";
REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(url)
def redir():
return "http://plone.org";
REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(redir())
urls = {}
urls['plone'] = "http://plone.org";
REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(urls['plone'])
REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(urls.get('plone', "/"))
In fact, they should all work identically.
