Re: [Zope] What to do when an External Method returns adictionary

<!--#var "core.newcurrenttime(nowtime())"--> returns a list, however, I can't seem to fetch the variables it returns.. :\

Any ideas, a pointer to the relevant python code, etc.?

why not assign it to a variable in REQUEST.

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set(tempvar, core.newcurrenttime(nowtime()))">

then you can refer to it repeated without having to call the external method again

or loop over it with dtml-in if you wish to use the results immediately.

<dtml in "core.newcurrenttime(nowtime())"> ... </dtml-in>

The method returns a dictionary (see subject), but I called it a list. Good idea with the temp var. Thankyouverymuch.
