The name "method" suggests that DTML methods should be able to take arguments much like ZSQL methods can. But for the life of me I can't find where these are added.
Well, just use them ;)
Sorry Andreas, I'm feeling a bit stupid here. You say to just use them so I've been trying variations without any luck.
Consider a DTML method "dtmNavigation" which contains the following = <dtml-with "CommonElements"> <TABLE WIDTH=<dtml-var mywidth>> <TR> <!-- ommitted for clarity -->
So, I'd like to be able to call it with varying values of 'mywidth'. I've tried to call dtmNavigation with arguments from a DTML document like this = <dtml-var "dtmNavigation(mywidth=120)">
well, you should add also REQUEST=REQUEST, etc. I believe :( Andreas
like standard python functions and methods. ie. def functionname( arg1=defaultvalue1, arg2=defaultvalue2) It cannot. You can use <dtml-unless argument> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('argument',default)"> </dtml-unless>
By the way, was there any decision taken on a syntax change from <dtml-tag > to <z-tag > or <dt-tag > because I have to agree Yes. It was negative. ;) that the mere presence of the 'dtml' in the tag makes it much harder to read than the Cold Fusion syntax. Well, that's what people told me that often about python's indentation syntax. Well, bad news, it's just syntax, and I consider ignoring syntax (to a certain level) natural for a good developer. (I meant read ignore, write do not ignore ;) )
