Session Plugin

The session plugin gives you the ability to set and read session data.

session:data

{{ session:data }}

Displays or sets a piece of session data.

If you supply a value, it will set the session data and display nothing, otherwise the existing value of name will be displayed.

Name	Default	Required	Description
name	None	Yes	Name of the data you want to display or set.
value	None	No	Add a value to set data instead of displaying it.

Setting data:

{{ session:data name="color_preference" value="red" }}

Displaying data:

{{ session:data name="color_preference" }}

Returns:

red

Identical to the data function, but uses flash data.

Flash data is data that is only available for the next page load, then it is destroyed.

Setting data:

{{ session:flash name="color_preference" value="blue" }}

Displaying data:

{{ session:flash name="color_preference" }}

Returns:

blue

Displays a flashdata message.

PyroCMS has standardized messages to belong to one of three categories:

Each has a different meaning and by default will appear with a class name associated to it.

Name	Default	Required	Description
success	success	No	Set your own class name for success messages.
notice	notice	No	Set your own class name for notice messages.
error	error	No	Set your own class name for error messages.

Standard output:

{{ session:messages }}

Returns:

<div class="error">There was an error.</div>

With custom classes:

{{ session:messages success="my_success_class" }}

Returns:

<div class="my_success_class">Success!</div>
