I have this dtml form, which submits two values to external method. External method searches LDAP directory with submitted values and returns an object(class) with 5-30 values. I know only how to return plain text to Zope (return obj.__dict__ or return obj.value1). How i return those values in zope and embed those values into dtml file.
I have some kind of clue, how i want to do this (or do i?): can i make Zclass and return values into that and call Zclass variables in dtml?
in fact only problem here is how i return values from external method like obj.value1 , obj.value2.... into zope and use them in dtml or/and in Zclass instances.
I'm not sure if I understood your problem. But why don't you return the `entire' object ?! return obj and you will use as you want in DTML You can also call return obj.__dict__.values() is a list, but order or the values is unpredictable (I think) PM _______________________________ "Will I be using Python today?" and if the answer is "yes" I know that it's going to be a good day.
