I've done the Elvis tutorial. I want to set a cookie and I do it like it's done in the elvis tutorial but it doesn't work. The elvis tutorial

Here's a sample Python Script to set a cookie: request = container.REQUEST RESPONSE = request.RESPONSE tag=repr(DateTime().timeTime()) RESPONSE.setCookie('zopeimp',tag,path='/') return You do not need a function to read a cookie. Cookies are in the request. I recommend that you add this line to your standard_html_footer: <dtml-var REQUEST> You'll see everything that's in the request. Great for debugging! Admittedly, Zope Book is still somewhat incomplete and the example you tested may be wrong. I did not test the Elvis example but I'll try to give you general advice: Do not rely too much on Zope Book as "the complete, perfect source of documentation". The best resources that complement Zope Book are: - Archives of this mailing list - http://zopelabs.com - your own testing (try-fail-try-fail-try-success method) Write your own small test scripts. Record the results of these test scripts in a good knowledge management system (I use Hierarchical Notebook, available from SourceForge for both Linux and Windows). Build your own know-how. -- Milos Prudek
