RE: [Zope] REQUEST.set questionI don't think that acquisition works like that. I think that you have to pass something to the python script, such as: <dmtl-var "hello(REQUEST)"> or <dtml-var "hello(REQUEST['nome'])"> Jonathan ----- Original Message ----- From: Ferguson, Mark To: 'Small Business Services' Sent: December 3, 2003 9:36 AM Subject: RE: [Zope] REQUEST.set question Yes, that will work but it isn't getting the parameter from the REQUEST object, which is the behaviour I was trying (and failing) to implement...i.e. if the parameter is not passed in the call, Zope is supposed to look for a match in the REQUEST object and use that but, for me, that's not happening. -----Original Message----- From: Small Business Services [mailto:toolkit@magma.ca] Sent: 03 December 2003 14:31 To: Ferguson, Mark Subject: Re: [Zope] REQUEST.set question Sorry, I read your original message too quickly. Try the following call to your python script: <dtml-var "hello('John')"> This should work. Jonathan ----- Original Message ----- From: Ferguson, Mark To: 'Small Business Services' Sent: December 3, 2003 9:21 AM Subject: RE: [Zope] REQUEST.set question Thanks for the input. I was really wondering why the Python script version didn't work. FYI your DTML didn't work as expected either when using 'name'. I changed it to 'nome' and I worked. I think there is a clash in the namespace with 'name'. Unfortunatly it didn't fix the Python version. ho hum... -----Original Message----- From: Small Business Services [mailto:toolkit@magma.ca] Sent: 03 December 2003 14:04 To: Mark Ferguson Subject: Re: [Zope] REQUEST.set question Mark wrote: > I'm going through the code examples in the Zope Bible and I can't get the > following to > work: > > I've created a Python(Script) called 'hello' with 'name' on the parameter > list and the following script body - > return "Hello %s!" % name > > and a DTML Document with - > <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('name', 'John')"> > <dtml-var hello> > > when I view the document I get > Error Type: TypeError > Error Value: hello() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given) The REQUEST.set command creates a variable within the REQUEST namespace called 'name' (in your example) and places 'John' as the contents of that variable. To print out the contents of that variable: <p> this is html Hello <dtml-var name><br> </p> HTH Jonathan ******************************************************************************** This electronic mail system is used for information purposes and is not intended to form any legal contract or binding agreement.
