Howdy, ...
...but it appears that zope has some kind of problem accessing an attribute of an object with a dot in the object name, e.g. picture.jpg, whether in dtml or python script...??
funny, <dtml-var picture.jpg> works fine for me.
Yeah, that works fine, or equivalent in TAL, but I'm trying to get the height and width attributes. I tried some python scripting too but couldn't get it to work. I expect I've got syntax errors at the root of it.
In python:
getattr(your_container,'picture.jpg').title ...with give you the title of the image.
So getattr(your_container,'picture.jpg').height will get me the height...?
PS: Learn ZPT, save yourself pain and suffering ;-)
I actually started out with zope using ZPT pretty much exclusively (got into zope right about when ZPT product matured, apparently). There's plenty of opportunity for pain and suffering in trying to do anything in TAL that there's not a clear and documented example for, and there are IME precious few documented examples (so far) except for the most basic stuff. So I've taken to calling DTML methods and simple python expressions (because I don't understand complex python stuff yet) in my page templates to get more complex things done. I'll be back in a while with some code... cheers, John S. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo! Music Experience http://launch.yahoo.com
