Hi all, things aint cooking in my kitchen! quick summary yesterday created a form input group and passed successfully input value to another page title as per doc. Since then when i click on the form button nothing happens. One thing i noticed is that the button type says default and there is no way to make it type button as per documentation. You can see it here https://benjistars.com/profile.html i am obviously doing something wrong any ideas that would be great.
i understand from the documentation that 1. i will have to use an object and store the variables for all the fields > through register button (does it have to be type button or type default is ok)? 2. parse with one session x and 3. display on profile card mapping the fields respectively. correct ? like so https://www.dmxzone.com/go/32875/working-with-sessions/
many thanks!

Hi thanks for your quick response, at the moment itâs a case of passing info from one page to another to populate the profile card fields. The database will come but at a later date. I will also have to pass an image from anther page to the image section of the same profile card. Thank you j
Quick update; Issue one is now sorted changing button type to submit and redoing the data binding resolved it. quick note that the documentation https://docs.wappler.io/t/passing-values-between-your-pages/5588 says " Make sure the button type in the properties panel is set to button :
As of issue 2 passing more than one field over to a second page let me know your thoughts at your earliest convenience. thanks!
Yes, having actually read the tutorial i see what you mean @ben , the tutorial uses a browser redirect rather than a form submission so indeed, both should work although using the designated form action seems a little more natural to me than a browser redirect. Horses for courses as they say I guess.
Setting the form action and making the button submit simply removes the need for the browser1.GoTo stage in the click event
Hi Brian, the tutorial does not have a form to submit, it has an input, the value of which is being transferred to the session for safe keeping. The button on-click event saves the value(s) and redirects to the next page where the stored value is retrieved.
Brian, I am still enjoying your video tutorials that I find easier to follow than a witten tutorial. But this could be age related. Still waiting for lesson 14 where you tell me how to log in using an encrypted password
lol, got so sidetracked with other things, stripe, blogs and customers etc i will put that top of the list, with luck will be done today.
In fact i can incorporate that into the first stages of the blog tutorials and kill 2 birds with one stone!
As usual, I love your tutorials Brian. Looking forward to the next episodes, especially the one where a user has forgotten the password.
Edit: I have rearranged the YouTube page to include your Blogging tutorial. I hope you do not mind.
2nd Edit: Brian, I hope you do not mind me saying that the security of the query in Part 5 can be further enhanced by adding a Security Restrict step as in
This will stop unauthorised execution of the query.
Maybe @Teodor can explain if this step is absolutely neccessary.
Hey Ben,
I donât think this step is required here, as if you do not log in, the query wonât run. The security login step does the protection part here.
Security restrict step will be needed for server actions with queries which require the users to be logged in to access them.
So when they are protected with security restrict step, even if you have the direct link to the server action it will return âunauthorizedâ.
Hi @ben
wasnât going to do lost password as @Teodor has done one but looks like i am now!
Thanks for the re-arrange, thought i had done that, maybe forgot. All one big team here, always happy with team efforts
As to the security restrict, you make a sensible suggestion i know what you mean and actually considered that. In fact i recall i included it in my practice run
The reasons i left it out was several fold:
The routine only returns the users display name so no security info is exposed
If no user is logged in then nothing is returned
but main reason, i wanted to call this from the home page and if anonymous blog replies are authorised then they will not be logged in so i donât want to block them. I will in fact probably amend this routine later to conditionally return the guest login as a response if no user is logged in.
Thank you @Teodor, proof that one is never too old to learn.
@Hyperbytes, as said before, I love your videos and feel that they should be easy to find for those needing help. Keeping the series as complete as possible, without having to go to other resources, is in my opinion a plus.
I have removed the unnecessary Security Restrict from one of my projects and my tests show no difference, i.e. no change in security risks. Thank you both.
