simple CGI/custom menu Q

Hi

I am hacking up a custom menu to kick off a cgi. The question I have is, how can I tell which object has been selected ? Any easy ways ? Sample code appreicated.

TIA

Andy

There's a section in the TS Admin Guide (pg 122 in the Solaris 5.5.2 version) that explains how information gets passed to your custom menu scripts. There are several form variables that you automatically get in your CGI script, including every item the user selected prior to running the script. Take a look at the documentation and if you have a specific question after reading it, ask away.

You can also select your files/dirs/whatever and click "View-->ShowEnv" to get an idea of how your CGI Lite paramaters are set up.

View > Show Env is very popular, but not (I believe) setup out of the box.

For those who don't have it - it's trivial to set up - create a custom menu item like the following:

custom_menu_item_showenv="View", "Show Env", "show_env.cgi", "all", "scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=640,height=545", "", "500"
