newbie having some simple probs

["Cromer, Deborah" <De...@team.telstra.com>]

Hi,

I have just started using turbine, and I am having what I think are some
simple problems. I have a feeling this sort of stuff might be documented
somewhere, but I can't seem to find it, so if anyone can point me in the
right direction as well as answering these questions that'd be great.

Firstly, I have seen statments such as $page.setBgColor(), and
$link.setPage() etc. I was wondering wehre I could find a list of all the
methods that you can on a page and link.

Secondly, I would like to let a user navigate through some pages before
logging in. I have found some information which tells me that I need to
implement my own session validator that returns nothing, and then let my
secure pages use a differnt session Validator, but I am not sure of how to
implement my own session validator, where to put it, adn how to make the
"secure" layout execute a different session validator. Could you please help
me out here.

Thanks,
Deborah

./src/java/org/apache/turbine/util/template/TemplateLink.java
./src/java/org/apache/turbine/util/template/TemplatePageAttributes.java

In your TR.props file, if you use...

action.sessionvalidator=sessionvalidator.TemplateSessionValidator

Then that should do what you want.
