I'm passing name=value pairs like this: newob.propertysheets.FLSNewsProperties.manage_changeProperties({'User':varU ser}) where varUser is a variable set earlier in my script and User is the property I wish to set. Since I'm not sending form information to the script, I don't pass REQUEST into the manage_changeProperties. Hope this helps. -- Chris Muldrow, muldrow@mac.com

The Zope Help/API docs/PropertySheet page says that I can use manage_changeProperties:

manage_changeProperties(REQUEST=None, **kw):

I always see people using it like this:

manage_changeProperties(REQUEST)

The help file says I can use name=value pairs, but I can't seem to implement this. I don't understand the format it wants. I've tried the following:

logfile.propertysheets.NetShowLogFileProperties.manage_changeProperties(None , logfile_line_ids = current_logfile_line_ids + ' ' + logfile_line_id)

logfile.propertysheets.NetShowLogFileProperties.manage_changeProperties(REQU EST, logfile_line_ids = current_logfile_line_ids + ' ' + logfile_line_id)

logfile.propertysheets.NetShowLogFileProperties.manage_changeProperties(REQU EST=None, logfile_line_ids = current_logfile_line_ids + ' ' + logfile_line_id)

But each one returns 'illegal argument type for built-in operation' for this line in my Python Script. I don't know if you can tell, but I am only interested in changing the property 'logfile_line_ids'(tokens type). As it is probably evident, I don't understand the meaning and function of parameters like 'REQUEST=None' and '**kw' (that looks like a pointer to a char array :)

Thanks for any pointers,

Troy
