Hi there,
I am a newer to zope application. I met a problem of calling a ZQSL method in the DTML if tag. Here is the example:
I have a ZSQL method called "CountCrew" which has no input parameter. the query is: select count(*) from crew
1. I test it looks good on the ZSQL method "CountCrew" page. If the table crew has no data, it returns 0, if has one record, it retuens 1...
2. I call this ZSQL method in a DTML method, code likes:
<dtml-if expr="CountCrew == 1"> <dtml-call "AddCrew(ptime=time1,name=name2,pemail=email1)"> <dtml-else> <dtml-var Error> </dtml-if>
But the <dtml-if ..> test is false and show the Error message no mater there is one crew or none in the crew table.
If I test it like this: <dtml-if "CountCrew">//or <dtml-if expr="CountCrew"> <dtml-call "AddCrew(ptime=time1,name=name2,pemail=email1)"> <dtml-else> <dtml-var Error> </dtml-if> the <dtml-if ..> test is always true and add the record no mater there is none or one crew in the crew table.
You know, I want to add the record in the crew table only if there is at least one crew exist in the crew table.
I don't know what's wrong with calling the ZSQL method in DTML if tag. Please give me any advice if you have time.
Thanks in advance!
Jean
