hi

i cannot sustain a session.

i login to my app. it shows my login name as i programmed.

when i refresh the page it stays there.

but when i refresh for the second time my session name and

other things goes away and instead i see what is there for the

not loginned case.

I think i miss something in hunchentoot session hadling.

;all html generated by a macro:

(defmacro ff (tag)

  `(defun ,tag (&rest c)

     (with-output-to-string (*standard-output*)

       (format t "<~a ~{~a='~a' ~}> ~{~a ~}</~a>" ',tag (car c) (cdr c) ',tag))))

;;defining all tag functions:

(progn

  (ff html)

  (ff title)

  (ff head)

  (ff meta)

  (ff link)

  (ff style)

  (ff script)

;authentication utilities used by the home page function at the bottom:

(defun signed-in-p ()

  (if (and (boundp '*session*) (session-value '*signed-in *session*))

      t     

      nil))

(defun signed-up-p (x y)

  (if (with-connection *conn1spec*

         (query  (:select 'username 'password :from 'users.users

                          :where (:and (:= 'username x)

                                       (:= 'password y)))))

    t

    nil))

(defun sign-in ()

  (let ((username (parameter "username"))

(password (parameter "password")))

    (if (signed-up-p username password)

      (progn

        (start-session)

        (setf (session-value '*username) username)

        (setf (session-value '*signed-in) t)

        (morph-status-plate (session-value '*username)))

      (with-output-to-string (s)

        (princ (morph-sign-in-form) s)

        (princ "No record found!" s)

        (princ (a (list :href "/form-sign-up") "Sign up") s)

         ))))

;the data base querying functions are working correctly

;views generated:

(defun morph-write-button ()

  (div (list :style "border:1px solid; float:left;")

;at last

;the page i generate as home page:
