[cgiapp] RE: different default modes?

["Kinyon, Rob" <suppressed>]

Andreas -

	Do you have a value for $remote_user at this point? I would add
'use strict' and 'use warnings' to the top of your C::A module and see
what happens.

	The issue I think that's happening is that C::A runs setup()
when you call new(), not when a page request is handled.

	A better solution for what you're trying to do may be to put the
following in your cgiapp_prerun():

	# Populate $remote_user before this code is executed
	if ( $self->run_mode eq $self->start_mode ) {
		if ( is_silly( $remote_user ) ) {
			$self->prerun_mode( 'EditUserData' );
			$self->query->params( ... );
		}
	}

	In your setup() method, go ahead and default the start_mode to
'AdminSearch'. That way, you don't have the else statement in the
cgiapp_prerun().

	Does that make sense?

Thanks,
Rob

Subject: different default modes?

i write a use administration interface and i would distinguish
between "silly" users and admins. the point in this is not to
intimidate the users with screens which could confuse them but
bring them to the "password-changing" page right away.

so it put this code in sub setup{}:

    # set the default mode for users
    if ( is_silly( $remote_user ) ) {
        $self->start_mode('EditUserData');
        $self->query->params( -name  => "user_name" ,
                              -value => $remote_user );
    }
    else {
        $self->start_mode('AdminSearch');
    }

the problem is that this seems to have no effect. the users still
end up on the "adminSearch" page. how should this be done
properly?
