ScratchDefault — define default scratch variable values

SYNOPSIS

name value...

DESCRIPTION

The directive sets default scratch variable values. These are initialized and assigned every time a new uses session is created.

DIRECTIVE TYPE AND DEFAULT VALUE

Catalog directive

EXAMPLES

Example: Defining default scratch values

Make Interchange URLs elegant — do not include the session ID information or the "counter", and append .html to pages if it is missing.

ScratchDefault  mv_no_session_id  1 mv_no_count       1
ScratchDefault  mv_add_dot_html   1

To understand this example, see scratch and session glossary entries, and the HTMLsuffix configuration directive.


Example: Using ScratchDefault to define default locale

It is recommended to use this directive for setting the catalog's default locale:

ScratchDefault  mv_locale de_DE

To understand this example, see internationalization and locale glossary entries.
