I want to change some ZClass properties by getting return results from a DTML Method. Something like this: <dtml-call "myzclass.propertysheets.get('Basic').manage_changeProperties(dtmlM eth(this(),_))">. How do I get the dtmlMeth to return a Mapping? (or should I be doing this a different way?)
You *could* return a dictionary from a DTML method: DTML Method 'return_dict':: <dtml-return expr={ 'foo' : 0, 'bar' : 1 } DTML Method 'show_dict':: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <h2><dtml-var title_or_id> <dtml-var document_title></h2> <dtml-let dict=return_dict> <p> Foo: <dtml-var "dict['foo']"> <p> Bar: <dtml-var "dict['bar']"> </dtml-let> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> ....but I can't imaging wanting to. Try to rearrange your stuff so that the code generating the mapping can call 'manage_changeProperties()' its own self, or else move it to PythonScripts/PythonMethods/ExternalMethods/a Product; you'll be glad you did.
