Hi all, I've been using web2py for a couple of weeks and am slowly getting the hang of it, but I'm still pretty much a newbie to web programming.
I've been trying to figure out how to handle sessions but have made little progress in the past couple of days. The manual, (and website) states that web2py handles sessions for you... I took this to mean that, beyond using session.connect(...) to initiate/create a session in the database, all you needed to do was store the session data in various session variables like session.example_data1="some user", session.exampledata2 ="same user's preferred colour scheme", and these session variables would get sent and retrieve as they were created and then referenced. This doesn't seem to be the case though (forgive my naivety). The sessions are definitely getting created in the DB, and I can see the cookies have the same unique_keys as the sessions created but, beyond this, I'm stuck. So would someone please explain briefly how to send and retrieve session data to/from the [mysql] database to utilise it within the application, and maybe provide a quick example? Thanks in advance.
