[Zope-dev] leave application in zpt + formulator

20 Jun 2003

      hi
i had downloaded leave.zexp from the following url
http://www.openflow.it/EN/Download/index_html
I have installded open flow 1.1.0 
i have plone,zope on ,my linux box.
Now i tried to rewrite the application using zpt +
formulator(originally written in dtml).
I have written the following zpt files 
1)leave_startform_zpt
2)leave_start_zpt 
& a macro leaveform_macro for leave_startform_zpt
file.
Now my program goes like this
leave_startform_zpt --> macros --> leave_start_zpt -->
gotoOF  (this is a python file),

Plz see the files in the attachemnt. These are the
files i have added. the other files remain same. no
change 

I get the following error like
Error Type 
NameError
Error Value 
global name 'workflow' is not defined

what is the problem
plz help me
thanks
