oops. The one I'm using doesn't have quotes around REQUEST: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('newname', ZopeTime().strftime('%m-%d-%Y-%H-%M'))"> <dtml-call "manage_addDTMLDocument(newname, 'Error', REQUEST)"> Rick D. Rick Anderson wrote:

I'm trying to insert the REQUEST object into a new DTML document to record errors on a page. It doesn't seem to like the way I'm doing it and I can't figure out how to get it to work.

I tried:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('newname', ZopeTime().strftime('%m-%d-%Y-%H-%M'))"> <dtml-call "manage_addDTMLDocument(newname, 'Error', 'REQUEST')">

and I get a Key Error:

Error Type: KeyError Error Value: read

I've tried creating the document first, and then using manage_edit to insert it, and the same thing happens. I really need to dump the REQUEST object somewhere when there's been an error so I can see what happened.

TIA

I can use a simple script to retieve the file contents and the relevant meta data from the database but the browsers default to saving the name of the script in the 'href='. Will I need to generate a dtml method with the proper name that does a call to the script and then destroy this method when I'm done? Surely there's something more elegant than doing it that way. If i get this one I should stay busy for a while and stop harassing the list ;^) Thanks, Charlie
