I have a form (edit_file) and a method (edit) in which i am trying to use to edit a single fille.
The examples below are not working.
What am I missing.
Regards, Rob a greatful newbie.
============ Form
<form action="edit_file" name="data" method="post"> <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"></td> <td align="left" valign="top"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" colspan="2"> <textarea name="data:text" wrap="off" cols="90" rows="35"><dtml-var file1></textarea> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" colspan="2"> <input type="submit" name="SUBMIT" value="Save Changes"> </td> </tr> </table> </form>
=====================
Method
<dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-call "file1.manage_edit(file1, data, title)"> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('http://www.somewhere.com')"> <dtml-var standard_html_footer>
#1: write your method in Python. Especially if you're doing a redirect. Python scripts are for logic, display templates (DTML, ZPT) are for rendering views. #2: it's a lot easier to help if you explain exactly how what you're doing is failing. Explanation is good. Tracebacks are better. #3: if it's actually a File you're editing, the method you call is file1.update_data(data) This is locatable in the Zope online help's API docs. You were using the API for a DTMLMethod/Document. If you actually intended this (and you should only put things in a DTMLDocument that you intend to render as DTML) you need to call it as file1.manage_edit(data, title) since it's a method on the object (the 'self' is gotten from the object the method is called on -- this is a Python idiosyncracy.) --jcc
