Hi, That seems to me clearer now with your explanation and this external method. It is a good idea to begin in external method specially for debugging. DTML is too powerfull and sometimes complex :) Thank a lot Martin. I recommand also the nice work at : Happy ZChrismas, FR.

Could you please attempt to describe again what you're trying to accomplish? == I would like, for exemple :

1/ Add a new tag for each entry of my xml file => In my exemple, add the <comment> tag 2/ Assign a value for this tag : add the value "very good" => <comment>Very good</comment>

Sorry for my poor DOM vocabulary. FR.

this is my XML file with one entry :

<?xml version="1.0"> <far title="Frquently Asked Restaurent"> <entry> <name>La petite note</name> <street>rue de Thann</street> <number>4</number> <cp>67100</cp> <quartier>Neudorf</quartier> <ville>Strasbourg</ville> <tel>03 88 44 19 17</tel> <fax>03 88 34 68 54</fax> <email>petitenote@table.fr</email> <hp>www.petitenote.fr</hp> <closed>Monday</closed> <topten>Choucroute, tete de veau</topten> </entry> </far>

Okay, something like this (in an external method, you could also use DTML directly but it's clunkier) would do the trick: # UNTESTED CODE! This is only to point you into the right direction; # no idea if it'll work. # call this like this: http://mysite/mydoc/0/addComments # (so on the 'far' node of the document) def addComments(self, REQUEST): # get a list of all entries children = self.objectValues('entry') # go through them for child in children: # create comment node for child comment_node = self.getOwnerDocument().createElement('comment') # add it and get the node we just added (note that I'm not sure the # latter is still necessary with the latest alpha of XMLDocument; it # used to be necessary due to acquisition trickiness) comment_node = child.appendChild(comment_node) # set the text content of the comment node by adding a text node text_node = self.getOwnerDocument().createTextNode("My text") comment_node.appendChild(text_node) Regards, Martijn _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
