Allow me to preface this by saying I am a complete newbie to Zope (I prefer to think of it as beginner's mind...). What I am attempting to do is dynamically add items to a dictionary, but Zope complains "keyword can't be an expression". Here's the reduced case of my code:
<dtml-let eventsDict="{}"> <dtml-let calstart="somestring"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set(eventsDict[calstart]=id)"> </dtml-let> </dtml-let>
First let me tell you: Write a python script for things like this, it really belongs into one. Second thing: your dtml-call has a serious error, eventsDict[..]=id is executed but it doesn't produce anything so set is called with no parameters and this is wrong. set needs 2 parameters, one beeing a string as the key and a second as the value which can be of any type python knows. I also don't get what this snippet should do? Andreas -- Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
