It performs some logic and then calls another dtml method. I am passing 2 parameters into the python script, "hidden_photo" and "photo_name"..my python script looks like this... if photo_name == ' ': if hidden_photo == ' ': return context.scReport(context) elif hidden_photo == 'None': return context.scReport(context) else: return context.Thumbnails.deletePhoto(context) return context.scReport(context) elif photo_name =='None': return context.scReport(context) else: return context.Thumbnails.photoAction(context) return context.scReport(context) The methods photoAction and deletePhoto need to be passed the parameters "hidden_photo" and "photo_name" - however it dosn't seem to be getting them properly- this is the error message Error Type: NameError Error Value: global name 'photo_name' is not defined Can anyone tell me how properly to pass parameters from python to dtml objects? Thanks in advance, Shane
