Okay, gotta be close by now :/ Here's my script:
import string
def myaffiliateprogram(REQUEST,RESPONSE): user_id, banner_id, page = REQUEST['user_id'],REQUEST['banner_id'],REQUEST['page'] redir =
"http://www.myaffiliateprogram.com/u/%(user_id)s/t.asp?id=%(banner_id)s&p=%( page)s"
% locals() # location=RESPONSE.redirect("%(redir)s\n % locals()") # location-RESPONSE.redirect("http://thewebsons.com") # location=redirect("http://thewebsons.com") location: redirect("http://thewebsons.com")
All of those options (including the ones commented out) return a bad server request (Apache error #400).
This isn't proper python, so I don't see how it would have worked at all. If you want to interpolate variables into a string, you have to use "%s", not "%(something else)s". If that's not what you are trying to do, the expression % locals() isn't valid. Also, do you mean location= redirect("http://thewebsons.com") ? Remember, your external method has to ***return something*** to Zope - I don't think you want to be calling a redirect from this external method. You probably want to accomplish something like this: in Zope: <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(myaffilitateprogram(REQUEST))"> In the external method, skipping the banner stuff: def myaffiliateprogram(REQUEST): # Do the banner stuff with the REQUEST # Do whatever it takes to figure out where you want to go to... # if that place is http://thewebsons.com, then end with: location="http://thewebsons.com" return location Assuming that RESPONSE.redirect() is the correct syntax (I've never used it myself), this will cause a redirect() method call on the RESPONSE object from within the dtml page, which would be what you want. The value of the argument for the redirect will be whatever the external method returned. Generally you want your external methods to return something, which Zope then uses in some dtml to do something. Cheers, Tom P
