hi all
i need something unique to identificate the current browser session... how can i do it?
http://ez.no/community/forum/setup_design/how_to_retrieve_session_id
i've seen operators, but nothing that can fit to my need!!!i've got to call an external site with an unique param and i thought that session id will be the goal... but how to retrieve it????
best regards

I'm not sure if this helps, as I don't really understand what it is you're trying to do. I just stumbled accross this variable and remembered your post.
$http.session
do an attribute(show) on it, this is what I get:
Attribute Type Value eZUserLoggedInID NULL eZUserInfoCache_Timestamp integer 1078310917 eZUserInfoCache array Array(1) >10 array Array(5) eZUserGroupsCache_Timestamp integer 1078310917 eZUserGroupsCache array Array(1) >10 array Array(1) PermissionCachedForUserID string 10 PermissionCachedForUserIDTimestamp integer 1078310915 UserRoles array Array(1) >0 array Array(2) eZGlobalSection array Array(1) >id string 1 RegisterUserID integer 793 UserPolicies array Array(1) >1 array Array(9) UserLimitations array Array(6) >702 array Array(1) >703 array Array(1) >704 array Array(2) >708 array Array(3) >705 array Array(3) >709 array Array(3) UserLimitationValues array Array(8) >899 array Array(13) >912 array Array(13) >902 array Array(1) >907 array Array(1) >901 array Array(1) >906 array Array(1) >903 array Array(1)>909 array Array(1)
Hope that helped!

hi jamesgreat! i feel we are getting the solution now!
please, can you be more clear? when you write"$http.session
"
what do you mean? i wrote"{$http.session.show()}" but i got no output...
i'm trying to get the session id because i need something unique for each session, because then i'll got to call another site with this parameter ("session=9813494189" ecc...)
so i think that the session id will fit my need (because i don't need to generate it, but it's already existant.)
hope i've been more clear
best regardsalessandro

Sorry, what I mean is:
{$http.session|attribute(show)}

ok james, i wrote exactly "{$http.session|attribute(show)}" but i get only 'Attribute Type Value', without the other values as you wrote...

Try {$http|attribute(show)}, if still nothing then there aren't any http variables available. I used this on the registration template, so all mine refer to those available during registration. However, I would have thought that session would be fairly generic.
