I hope I don't get flamed off this list, but here goes... I have recently had to delve into ColdFusion for a customer, and there are some tags that would certiainly be useful. <CFABORT> for example, stops execution of a template. They have some nice constructs in the <CFLOOP> tag as well, allowing loops equivalent to while, for, and <dtml-in> loops. There is a <CFSWITCH><CFCASE></CFCASE></CFSWITCH> construct that I would certainly find useful, too. Don't worry, I have no intention of abandonning zope in favour of CF, which is far superiour in SO many ways, but there is no reason not to use their good ideas... Didn't I see some reference to a <dtml-return> tag in version 2.1. I haven't checked the docs for new tags, but I thought I saw some email that mentioned such a tag. I might mention that there was no mention whatsoever of new dtml tags in the CHANGES.TXT file. --sam chas wrote:
Just raise an error way down deep, and catch it at the higher method with <dtml-try> and <dtml-except>. I think these tags were added in 2.0.0
This is a solution, but i have to modify all my DTML documents. All documents are beginning with "<dtml-var standard_html_header>" and i COULD change all documents to "<dtml-try><dtml-var standard_html_header>....<dtml-except>...", but this is not my preferred solution.
This is a problem I've also encountered and, as you mention, the try/except requires modifying all pages. I'd also like to find a better solution.
Is there no equivalent of Python's sys.exit(0) ?
