Hello, After a ten-times reading of the zopebook part about ":record" modifier that can be used in html form in order to have records available for scripting, I still can't understand how to use them. I have a addform with (roughly) this : (idea took from the guestbook example) ----------------- <form action="addMediaAction" method="POST"> Filename : <input type="text" name="filename" value=""> Describe your media: <br> <textarea name="description" rows="10" cols="60"></textarea> Completion (0-100%) : <br> <input type="text" name="metadata.completion:record" value="100"> Color :<br> <input type="text" name="metadata.color:record"> <input type="submit" value="Submit media"> </form> ------------------------ The addMediaAction file is something like this : -------------- <dtml-call expr="addMedia(filename, description, metadata)"> -------------- and the addMedia python script is : ------------------ """ Create a new media entry. """ # assign the filename to the id var for the new doc id=filename # create the document context.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addDTMLDocument(id, title="", file=description) # add the media properties to the object. It is submited in the form like this : media.xxx:record # arbitrary metadata can be submited by proper editing of the form. doc=getattr(context, id) # add each metadata to the object # doc.manage_addProperty(metadata) ----------- Now, I'd like to add each metadata.xxxx entry as a new property of the just created object. This way, I could add more metadata simply by editing the form. So, in the python script, how can I tell : "run over each record in the metadata record, and create a property with the name and value of each record" ? Is it the right way to do this?
