calling a function with arguments?
by julian＠zereau.net 02 Mar '99

I want to call a function I have made, with arguments. 1) is there any way to call it direct, complete with module name? It would mean getting Zope to import that module. 2) I know I can put it in an external metod and use  but it needs arguments, so I'll need to set and re-set the same DTML-namespace variable throughout the document, in which case, how do I alter/set DTML varibles from within DTML? --- Julian Morrison Programmer (Zereau Ltd)

In this case imports in the method's file work fine, but only inside Zope's search path (practically, the installation path and lib subdirectory). A good place to put your modules and packages is the lib//shared/<your company> dir. > > 2) I know I can put it in an external metod and use  but it > needs arguments, so I'll need to set and re-set the same > DTML-namespace > variable throughout the document, in which case, how do I alter/set > DTML > varibles from within DTML? > try  (the quotation marks are important) Stefan

AUTHENTICATED_USER itself is an object -- the reason  gives you the user name is that it effectively does an str() on the user object. To work with the user name directly, you can use the getUserName() method of the user object:  Brian Lloyd brian(a)digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

RE: [Zope] DTML #var null= problem/patch

Thank you for pointing out how to fix this. At first, the patch didn't work with ZSQLMethods until I made a small change: 271a272,274 > #richard jone's null patch --- slightly modified by jj > elif have_arg('null') and not val: > val = args['null'] val wasn't set to None and so the null attribute never got used. Since None is false, the above should be OK.

Help with editing Product dtml files
by Piers Lauder 02 Mar '99

02 Mar '99

I'm making a Zope "Product" for managing and creating student surveys (which I hope to contribute via zope.org) but I'm having trouble with a couple of techniques: 1. How does one enable a dtml file that is instantiated as in my_dtml = HTMLFile('my', globals()) available for editing in the products' management screen? There's probably more to this - as at the moment the management screen goes straight to the "index_html" form as with the "Poll" Product. 2. What's the approved way to catch database errors in methods? I'm creating tables on the fly, and need to check if the table exists before trying to create it. (I'd use a "tables" method if all the database interfaces supported it. I'd also use a try/except but the database objects have different names for their exceptions.)
