I think the best approach is to check if the user is logged in the the app controller’s hook/1 function and then put the result in the Arg’s opaque field before passing the Arg down to other components. I haven’t found before_call to be very useful thus far, but it may come in handy for some purposes.

What does the code to check that user is logged looks like?

Shall we use the hook function of application or implement before_call in every components? How to pass the user data to all components?

Well, ErlyWeb seems to be 3 months old … :-) Sure its three times more, but still a young baby.

David,

seethrough is only one month old, and I am nowhere as experienced with Erlang as Yariv is. Please keep both things in mind if you have to choose a templating system. :-)

ErlTL issue … what about suing something like this:

Its based on Python’s ZopePageTemplates, which has a good concept.

Charles — the Group seems to work fine. I didn’t realize it was offline.

Evilman — I’ve heard many conflicting opinions about ErlTL. Some people love it, others don’t. I think that usually once people start using it, they grow to like it. Anyway, if you have specific suggestions for how you think it can be improved, I’ll be happy to hear them.

I have to say that I love erlang but your web framework code looks really messy. You will not find people who want to code templates like that - people are spoiled and want the code to be clean, that code of yours looks like really early JSPs.

Please bring the ErlyWeb Google Group back. It’s unavailable since… Yesterday… An eternity. Seems I’m getting addicted! Thank you.
