In a product I am writing I have defined some lists of options::
formatTypes = ['format1', 'format2', 'format3']
userTypes = ['type1', 'type2', 'type3']
In my manage_addProductForm I need to access these lists. But it seems that it cannot be done as manage_addProductForm is called in the context of the objectmanager it is being added to. And here these attributes naturally does not exist yet.
So I just wondered if there is any way to put these lists into the namespace of the objectmanager, or in some way pass them onto the HTMLfile object.
I have tried to add them like::
manage_addProductForm = HTMLFile('manage_addProductForm', globals(), {'formatTypes ':['format1', 'format2', 'format3'], 'userTypes':['type1', 'type2', 'type3']})
But it doesn't work as I get an error saying that I am passing on to many parameters.

1. Use DTMLFile instead of HTMLFile. 2. Make manage_addProductForm a regular method that calls the DTMLFile object. Like so: formatTypes = ['format1', 'format2', 'format3'] userTypes = ['type1', 'type2', 'type3'] addProductDTML = DTMLFile('manage_addProductForm') def manage_addProductForm(self, REQUEST=None): return addProductDTML(self, REQUEST, formatTypes=formatTypes, userTypes=userTypes) hth, /---------------------------------------------------\ Casey Duncan, Sr. Web Developer National Legal Aid and Defender Association c.duncan@nlada.org \---------------------------------------------------/
