Re: [Zope] Newbie Q: Passing REQUEST.form data to a Z SQL Method

Great -- this is just what I needed! I suppose the Zope Zen is that I can call Z SQL Methods within appropriate DTML tags *and* pass arguments to the methods in the tags. For some reason this was not clear to me from the docs. Thanks for the clarification.

Re: [Zope] Newbie Q: Passing REQUEST.form data to a Z SQL Method
by Rafael Alvarado 21 Jun '99

Thanks -- your info helps. It isn't precisely what I was looking for, though. What I want to know is how to replace the default data input page for a Z SQL Method that takes arguments with one of my own. In looking at the source of the automatically created search interface, I noticed that the path info "manage_test" is added to the url of the target query, and that the value is passed as a cgi variable. So I've been able to do what I want to do. But is this the "right way to do it" in Zope? -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Staubo <alex(a)mop.no> To: Zope Mailing List (E-mail) <zope(a)zope.org> Date: Sunday, June 20, 1999 10:05 PM Subject: RE: [Zope] Newbie Q: Passing REQUEST.form data to a Z SQL Method >If I understand your problem correctly, you'd like to pass form >variables to the SQL Method?

Gutenmorgen Thies, No, no answer yet. I've got a feeling that one would have to write a DTML method which is sort of Python-ish but not exactly the same. I've been playing this weekend and had no joy. As and when I get it working, I'll write something up on zdp.zope.org and everybody will know :-) Maybe somebody on the list can toss us a clue and we can work this out...
