[Seaside] Seaside 2.9 - how do I access session ivars? WARequestContextNotFound error

[Paul DeBruicker]

OK.  I'll do that.   I added some classes that use the lightbox:
method from Scriptaculous.  When I replace the jQuery methods with the
Scriptaculous ones it starts working fine again.  I'll poke around
some more and see what I can find with the jQuery changes I made.



I'm trying to understand the documentation Mariano pointed me towards.
Does it mean that I should not use a method like this:

renderContentOn: html
   html text: 'You are logged in as: ' , self session user userId.

And instead create an instance variable in the component to hold the
'self session user' bit?  Thanks for your help


Paul
