Perhaps someone can help me straighten this out in my head. I have DTML method "input" that collects two values from the user in a html form, start_date and end_date.Submiting the form calls DTML method "subtotal" which takes the two values passed in the REQUEST and uses them as parameters in a ZSQL method to produce a list of subtotaled results from my database. So far, so good. My goal is to make each subtotal a link to a second ZSQL method that returns a detailed listing without subtotals. I can manage to create the hrefs in each line of the report, but I'm fuzzy on how to pass the start_date and end_date from my first REQUEST through the subtotal DTML method, and into the REQUEST for the detail report. Is this a job for dtml-with? I'm thinking inside the subtotal DTML method I have to manually push the values into the namespace somehow, but how to do that escapes me.
If you are building the results page from the DTML method "subtotal", use the start_date and end_date in the request to build the hrefs. For example: <a href="nosubtotal?start_date=<dtml-var start_date>&end_date=<dtml-var end_date>">No subtotal</a> Hope that helps, Kevin -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Jeff Sacksteder Sent: Friday, December 20, 2002 9:57 AM To: 'zope@zope.org' Subject: [Zope] My zen is malfunctioning Perhaps someone can help me straighten this out in my head.
