I've a script who gets two parameters from a form: Code (int), Fields (record).
Record? Haven't heard of *that* data type...
Well, I don't know if it is really a data type. In the zope book it's called parameter conversion, you know, to convert string values from the form to some other Python data type. I was assuming 'record' would convert to some (unknown?) class.
Fields.a_field = 1
I get the error:
Error Type: TypeError Error Value: attribute-less object (assign or del)
That's because whatever it is you're passing in for the value of Fields doesn't have the attribute you're attempting to assign to.
This works ok (in a right-hand side expression): print Fields.a_field
If Fields is a mapping (like REQUEST.form), you may want:
Fields['a_field'] = 1
If that's not it, could you provide a bit more info on what's getting passed in for Fields?
Sure, in the form I've stuff like: <input type="text" name="Fields.Title:record"> <input type="text" name="Fields.Author:record"> etc... I can _use_ expressions like Fields.Title in the Python script but I can't modify it. Cheers, Fernando
