RE: [SMARTY] redirection

In PHP:

if( yourLoginTestHere ){
$smarty->assign("status", "");
}else{
$smarty->assign("status", "Your login failed.");
}

In login form tpl:

{status}


It can be tricky, because the 1st time they use the login page, they haven't
tried to login yet - so your login test has to check to see if they actually
tried to login or if this is the first view of the page.

Also, there may be a cacheing issue, for the first time they see the form,
status probably = "" then only if they see the page a 2nd time, it gets the
status of "Your login failed.", so try not cacheing the page if it doesn't
work right away.

HTH-

Subject: [SMARTY] redirection

I have a basic question about redirection, and assigning values.

In a nutshell, I want my login procedure to redirect back to the login page
if there was an error, but I also want to assign a message to the form.
Obviously, the message assignment gets wiped out.

How do I deal with?
