I'm working on a custom module and am using session variables to save information within the module. As long as I stay on the same tab the session variables are working just fine. But if I do something as simple as bringing up a blank content page and then going back to the tab with my module on it, the session variables disappear. I was using session variables because some of the info I have to save are arrays. Is there a better way to do this? I've checked the code to verify that there isn't something in the logic that is causing me to clear the arrays in the code. But that isn't the case.

Any ideas or solutions appreciated.

 

so cookies work better if you want to save that information for the module if a user leaves the tab with the module on it?  with an expires clause in the future so you don't lose the cookies either? any easy solution for the array issue that you've come across or do I just have to go thru the process of using join and split on the arrays?

there are several options to store data - session variables are not used by DNN because they are not supporting web farm scenarios. You may store data in a local cookie, in a temp file on the server or in the database. Do you need to open a blank page instead of navigating to a different module control?
