I think you want: <form action="renumberTheCart(here/CheckOutAfterEditStuff)" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <td> <form action=http://example.com/s/renumberTheCart" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="doc" value="" tal:attributes="value here/ CheckOutAfterEditStuff" /> <p metal:use-macro="here/CheckOutAfterEditStuff/macros/main" /> </td> (my tal may be a bit off) On Aug 13, 2007, at 4:09 PM, tonylabarbara@aol.com wrote:
No, it should work the way it is...that is a URL I passed. I changed it to an absolute URL just to double-check, and got basically the same error:
Invalid request The parameter, doc, was omitted from the request.
How do I pass the parameter, which in my case is quite long and stashed neatly away in a PT macro?
<td tal:define="docs here/CheckOutAfterEditStuff"> <form action=http://example.com/s/renumberTheCart?doc=docs" method="post"> <p metal:use-macro="here/CheckOutAfterEditStuff/macros/main" /> </td>
TIA, Tony

Hi; I have a form that I need to send to a script and then send off
to a URL
(PayPal). I need to process it through the script to renumber things for PP. How do I do this? I imagine I add an element to the PT like so:
<form action="renumberTheCart(here/CheckOutAfterEditStuff)" method="post">
but I need to pass a parameter "doc", which, of course, is the document I'm submitting. So I tried this:
<form action="renumberTheCart(here/CheckOutAfterEditStuff)" method="post"> <p metal:use-macro="here/CheckOutAfterEditStuff/macros/main" />
You might check out the basics about HTML forms first. The 'action' parameter is an URL and *not* some Python-like function call. You specify the destination URL inside the action attribute and pass the parameters as *hidden* form parameters to the URL - either using method GET or POST.
You'll find more on forms in any HTML tutorial. Start from here:
