Newbie External Page question

[Tim Sawyer <li...@calidris.co.uk>]

Hi,

I have a page that implements IExternalPage, and I'm passing a single 
parameter in through the activeExternalPage() method.  This parameter is then 
decoded and used to set the value of 30-odd other attributes on the page.  
These attributes are then passed through to a component.

This seems to work, but I tried changing it so that the single parameter is 
passed to the component rather than all the different ones, and it seemed to 
always pass null in to the component.

Does activateExternalPage fire after the html template has been processed?  Is 
there a better way of doing this?  

If I store the single value in the Visit rather than trying to pass it through 
the page, it works.  This does, however, feel like I'm using a global 
variable!

Any input would be appreciated.

Tim.

I think you'd better show us some code showing this problem.
