<p class=MsoNormal>I have a use case where anonymous users can do a bunch of
work, and then at the end request to save it, which requires logging in (and
possibly also creating an account). The login event regenerates the session,
and so far as I know 5.x does not provide a hook that can be used to copy info
from the old session into the new so that it can be saved in a way that is
associated with the correct uid. I suppose such a hook so would open up lots of
security issues. Still, this is the second time I’ve confronted this sort
of an issue, and I don’t know the correct design pattern to handle it in
Drupal. Comments and suggestions welcome.<o:p></o:p></p>
