Thanks a lot for the answer, but I still ned some help ;-o
I have two questions today, both concerning the not so clearly explained parameter passing of Zope: 1. Did I understand it right when I assume that all the variables (form and dtml-let stuff) are available in all the objects that are below (in the object hierarchy) the one where they were defined.
For the most part, yes.
OK, good.
2. How do I pass one of these Global (?) variables to a python procedure from a DTML page ?
You mean a Script (Python)? Go to the Bindings tab and bind 'namespace' to _.
Then you can do: myvar = _['myvar']
Thanks, I could use that but: What I meant is that I am using TALES of Formulator to get the items for a SELECT-statement from a database. This is calling a python-script like the following: python:form.listchains(CustomerCompany) CustomerCompany is a dtml-let in the main URL that called this Formulator Form. This is obviousely wrong as Zope complains that global name 'CustomerCompany' is not defined Mind you I am trying to learn Zope and Phyton at the same time here, so the solution/explanation is probably simple Thanks a lot for your kind response so far -- Dag Nygren email: dag@newtech.fi Oy Espoon NewTech Ab phone: +358 9 8024910 Träsktorpet 3 fax: +358 9 8024916 02360 ESBO Mobile: +358 400 426312 FINLAND
