Hello All: My earlier question (form/script problem) regarding passing variables from a form to a python script was successfully solved with the suggestion by Malik Jablonski to include this in the script: request = container.REQUEST myfile=request.myfile fname=request.fname Thanks Malik. But I have a further issue in that I wish the python script to return a DTMLMethod that calls dtml-tree to display the contents of a folder. I cannot find any references to python scripts returning DTMLMethods or Documents and the suggestions following do not work, I think because of namespace problem.
must pass the "positional" parameters. you coded:
return context.avc.showFiles() should be something like this: return context.avc.showFiles(None,context.REQUEST)
and
I've had some success with equivalents of return context.avc.showFiles(context) - then your DTML Method will have a context and can find 'avc' in it.
The form, script and DTMLMethod are all in the same folder object and 'avc' is the container object (folder) for that folder but the error I get is Error Type: KeyError Error Value: avc Even if I have a single line script calling this DTMLMethod (take the form out of the loop) I get the same error. Does acquistion work with python scripts? And can anyone offer a way for a python script to return DTML methods or documents? Even if the script: return context.showUploadRequests() calling a simple DTML method: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var REQUEST> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> fails with error: Error Type: KeyError Error Value: standard_html_header Tom Germaine
