James Packham	Wednesday 03 March 2004 2:53:03 am 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!

Alessandro Cipriani	Wednesday 03 March 2004 3:13:56 am hi james great! i feel we are getting the solution now! please, can you be more clear? when you write "$http.session do an attribute(show) on it, this is what I get: " what do you mean? i wrote "{$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 regards alessandro
James Packham	Wednesday 03 March 2004 4:05:31 am Sorry, what I mean is: {$http.session\|attribute(show)} :) ~James~
Alessandro Cipriani	Wednesday 03 March 2004 5:27:47 am ok james, i wrote exactly "{$http.session\|attribute(show)}" but i get only 'Attribute Type Value', without the other values as you wrote...
James Packham	Wednesday 03 March 2004 6:45:23 am 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. Regards, James
