Assign a value to a variable for use in different object
Hello, One question I have during I'm creating my Zope pages. That's how can I use a value within the other object. I can assign a value to a variable within one object by using dtml-let. But how can I do that when use it in other object. For example, I assign a value in a dtml method page and want to use the value in ZSQL method. Any way to do that? Thanks in advance. Leo

One way to do it is to go to the ZSQL method in the Zope manager interface and assign it 'Arguments', eg first_name, last_name If you are in some DTML Document where first_name and last_name are available, for example in the REQUEST variable from a form submission, then you can just do: <dtml-call my_method_sql> And the variables will be passed automatically. You can also pass the variables explicitly, as in this example, where most of the variables are passed from the REQUEST.form header and others are the return value of a python script add_to_filesystem_py <dtml-call expr="add_eeg_sql( pid=pid, date=date, filename=add_to_filesystem_py(folder_name='eegs', file_name=filename), description=description, channels=channels, freq=freq, classification=classification, file_type=file_type, behavior_state=behavior_state, montage_file=add_to_filesystem_py('eegs', montage_file), mpg_file=add_to_filesystem_py('eegs', mpg_file) )"> As a final example, suppose the downstream object was a DTML method or document, you can use the call syntax # listPatients is a DTML Document with parameters 'sql', 'title' and # 'noheader' <dtml-var expr="listPatients(_.None, _, sql='1 order by last', title='The Great Seizure Database', noheader=1 )"> John Hunter
