Re: [Zope] Newbie: need a simple example of external method

This example shows how to call an external or an internal python method. The method convertDate(date) is located in a folder named utils off of the root. Technique 1: <!--#call "REQUEST.set('ThisDate',utils.convertDate(date))"--> Date is: <!--#var ThisDate --> <br> Technique 1 allows for the return value to be "stored" in a variable Technique 2: Date is: <!--#var "utils.convertDate(date)"--> Technique 2 simply uses the return value. Of course if your method doesn't return anything (called only for it's side effect) then technique 2 is modified to:<!--#call "utils.convertDate(date)"--> Hope this helps, DR
