Passing variables through LoginForm.cfm

[omerdurdu]

Hello
I have a report page. To edit this page I created a LoginForm.cfm to ask userpassword and username.
When I click edit button it is asking me username and password. After entering username and password, I get into edit page where I am getting error. Seems the variable Dataset_ID not passing to edit page. Can someone help me how am i gonna pass this variable through LoginForm.cfm to edit page.
Thanks

Try setting Request.Dataset_ID and calling it from the other page.


This is good if it is a universal setting for all users, but if it is session based..

just use a session variable.

or send it in 'get' query string like ?ID=12
then just reference it in the new page.

I would need to see some code to know what you are talking about but hope this helps

The problem is when I click the Edit button on Report page:
the link is:

http://127.0.0.1/datacat/gis/login/update.cfm?Dataset_ID=168

asking username and password becasue there is a Application.cfm
LoginForm.cfm in that directory where edit pages located.
but when I enter username and password and click enter this time going to edit page but can not figure out what is Dataset_ID.
Thanks for help
