COmanage Developers List

[Marie Huynh <>]

I think Heather dropped off the call before this.  As we discussed,
this ticket now needs to be split into 2:
1) a dropdown CO selector that reloads the page with the proper menu
links and url (for proper bookmarking)
2) persistence of a selected CO
    - Should this selection be retained when navigating to a page that
is not part of a model that requires a CO (and therefore does not have
it as part of the URL to be passed on)?
    - How should this be implemented if not as a session var? (For
note, we're already using things like $session->read('Auth.User.name')
and $this->Session->read('Auth.User.cos').)

It looks like I will have to change a few things to make #1 work
without #2 so I will strip #2 out rather than plan on committing it
with #2 commented out.  Since #2 may not be a desirable feature, it is
now in this ticket for whenever we decide to revisit the idea:
