This is actually a way to track errors. We have a site that has a HUGE gambit of forms that people have to go through to apply for a loan. I've caught every kind of error that we can think of, and then some, but I still have it all being caught in a <dtml-try> with the except going to an error page. We're going to have all the people on our floor (100 or so) hit the site and try to break something. What I want is to have the <dtml-except> send them to a page that records the current REQUEST somewhere on the server so I can see what information they sent that broke it. Does that make sense? It would also be nice to have this information when the site goes live. That way I can see if somebody out there in the real world came up with some other way to mess things up (and I'm sure they will.) Anwho .. the lines listed below work great if you put ANYTHING in there other than REQUEST. They even work if you put single quotes around REQUEST. It just creates the dtml document with the date as the name and sticks the work 'REQUEST' in it. How can I actually get the current REQUEST information into something? Our first atempt was to insert it into a table on the Oracle server, but that failed with similar results. Thanks again, Rick Charlie Reiman wrote:
It looks to me like you have several problems:
1) manage_addDTMLDocument appears to be legacy code. 2) newname is a dtml var, not a python var (this might be okay though) 3) REQUEST is not a string 4) manage_addDocument doesn't take the document body anyway. 5) This is a really complicated way to try and track requests. Why not append them to a file or display them directy in the the page?
You need something like:
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('newname', ZopeTime().strftime('%m-%d-%Y-%H-%M'))"> <dtml-call "manage_addDocument(_['newname'],'')"> <dtml-call "manage_edit(str(REQUEST),'')">
The last line doesn't work, of course, as I don't know how to get the added document. I'm a newbie...

oops. The one I'm using doesn't have quotes around REQUEST:
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('newname', ZopeTime().strftime('%m-%d-%Y-%H-%M'))"> <dtml-call "manage_addDTMLDocument(newname, 'Error', REQUEST)">

I'm trying to insert the REQUEST object into a new DTML document to record errors on a page. It doesn't seem to like the way I'm doing it and I can't figure out how to get it to work.
I tried:
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('newname', ZopeTime().strftime('%m-%d-%Y-%H-%M'))"> <dtml-call "manage_addDTMLDocument(newname, 'Error', 'REQUEST')">
and I get a Key Error:
Error Type: KeyError Error Value: read
I've tried creating the document first, and then using manage_edit to insert it, and the same thing happens. I really need to dump the REQUEST object somewhere when there's been an error so I can see what happened.
TIA

What about if you try one of the properties/methods/attributes of REQUEST instead of the whole object? I.E. dtml-call "manage_addDTMLDocument(newname, 'Error', REQUEST.Text())">

I'd try backquotes around REQUEST: `REQUEST` That should return a string representation of the request. Otherwise you can walk through the REQUEST and output all its properties to a string, then store the string. You probably would want to make a separate method to do the formatting of the REQUEST. It's a perfect job for prettyprint, but I don't recall that you can get at that from dtml. You could from an external method, though: def formatRequest(request): from prettyprint import prettyprint return prettyprint(request) Cheers, Tom P
