Florent Hache	Tuesday 13 October 2009 1:51:31 am Hi everybody, I search on internet and on the Exponential documentation but i don't see anythings about the use of session, i see a lot of documentation about the configuration in the site.ini but nothing about the use in a template = ... Is there a sessions_start() like php or a session is create by default ? And after how to create a variable sessions and how to access to the variable ? If you have a documentation or just an example ? Thanks a lot Florent Hache

If you want to access (or set) session variables from templates, you can create custom template operators. Principal Consultant International Business Member of the Community Project Board

You set them with user/preferences/<key>/<value> and it will redirect back to referrer, and you control which one of them affect view cache with site.ini[ContentSettings]CachedViewPreferences. eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom
