View all variables in $IN?

Is their a way to print out all the variables in the $IN hash? With an array, I would just use;

foreach $line (@array) { print $line. "<BR>"; }

Any ideas? I feel pretty stupid for making this post Frown

Cheers

Try;

foreach $line ($IN->param) { print $line. "<BR>"; }

Like in CGI. $IN->get_hash(); will give you a hash reference to all the data

Hi..that worked great, but it proved my fear :(

It printed out;

Description
Title
OfferDiscount
URL
CatLinks.CategoryID
d
add
Contact_Name
Contact_Email
Type
State

As you can see, nothing referencing the user that is logged in. How easy would it be to grab the username of the person trying to add the link?

This will hopefully give you all the info you need

Code:
 use Links qw/ $IN $DB $CFG $USER /; 

# and somewhere 

if ( $USER ) { 

  require GT::Dumper; 

  print GT::Dumper->dump( $USER ); 

} 

else { 

  print "no user logged in"; 

}

Mmm...all it seems to do is print;

= undef;

Any ideas?

Cheers for the help so far Smile

Re: [Andy] View all variables in $IN? In reply to

Make sure the calling script also calls init_user(). I think you'll find an example of the calling convention in page.cgi. What USER should contain is a hashed record of everything found for the user in the Users table. Unimpressed

Re: [Aki] View all variables in $IN? In reply to

I already have Links::init_user called. See my top part here;

Code:
    use strict; 
    use GT::Base; 
    use GT::Plugins qw/STOP CONTINUE/; 
    use Links qw/$CFG $IN $DB $USER/; 
    Links::init_user(); 

# Inherit from base class for debug and error methods 
    @Plugins::Check_User_Add::ISA = qw(GT::Base); 

# Your code begins here! Good Luck!

Can you add this call

Links::init("path/to/admin");

before you call init_user?

You are logged in when trying the code?

I don't have that much experience really but I'll try to help, unless of course you have already sent your code to Aki.
