Using this documentation :) http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-random.html Write a simple python script to pick the random number. Return it as a string. <dtml-var "_[your_python_script()]"> the key point is the use of _['an_object_id'] To call python functions from within a document: <dtml-var expr="python_script(attr1, attr2, ...)"> -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Price [mailto:jprice22@wvu.edu] Sent: Friday, 9 August 2002 4:27 p.m. To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] How to call functions in DTML? Simple question from a stupid newbie. I'm used to writing inline code using PHP and I just want a random number to appear on a web page. Once I clear that hurdle, I want to use that number to reference different images (objects, right). Then I'll have a web page that displays random images from my image library. How do I call Python functions from within a web (aka DTML Document?) page in Zope? If you tell me to read the documentation I'll strangle you. :-) It's lacking.
