I have finally given up on the complexity of ZClasses.... So, nowI am porting my ZClasses to Python Classes.. Here is the rub: How do I get the Python Class to recognize DTML Methods
I have a DTML method called "getDate" and I *assume* that I call it from inside the Python class with something like:
getDate = HTMLFile('dtml/getDate', globals())
but when I try to use this, "'getDate' is not defined" is what is returned from Zope....
So, how does one include DTML Methods, PythonScripts, etc.... as methods in Python Classes?
I have been looking and looking for some sort of example, but I can seem to find one....
Where are your calling the DTML Method from? Is the call in a Script (Python) in the same folder as the DTML Method? If so, here is an example: # Call the DTML Method "show_hippo". # request = context.REQUEST dtml_method = context.show_hippo # Call the dtml method. s1 = dtml_method(client=context, REQUEST=request) # s1 now holds the rendered html return s1 There is some explanation in "The Zope Book Chapter 15: Advanced Zope Scripting" (http://zopewiki.org/ZopeBookChapter15AdvancedZopeScripting); search for the section titled "Calling DTML from Scripts".
