getting <!-- --> sections to 'render' from an external method...
Hi all, I have an external method that creates different HTML dependent on some variables that are sent to it eg if given the values, content = 'zope is cool' and tagtype='item', the expression <!--#var expr="make_html(content, tagtype)"--> returns <ul> <li>zope is cool </ul> If I change the content to something like 'For the following exercise, use the conferencing system. <!--#var conference-->', tagtype='text' I want the <!--#var conference--> DTML to be left alone by the make_html external method so that Zope can get given it and then do all its good stuff. At the moment, the <!--#var conference--> is just showing up as HTML comments in the output. Do I need to do some major magic at the external method? thanks for any thoughts... tone. ------ Dr Tony McDonald, FMCC, Networked Learning Environments Project The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 222 5888 Fingerprint: 3450 876D FA41 B926 D3DD F8C3 F2D0 C3B9 8B38 18A2

Hi all, I have an external method that creates different HTML dependent on some variables that are sent to it
eg if given the values, content = 'zope is cool' and tagtype='item', the expression <!--#var expr="make_html(content, tagtype)"-->
returns <ul> <li>zope is cool </ul>
If I change the content to something like 'For the following exercise, use the conferencing system. <!--#var conference-->', tagtype='text'
I want the <!--#var conference--> DTML to be left alone by the make_html external method so that Zope can get given it and then do all its good stuff.
Um, I don't know if I understand it quite right. If the question was concerning what the method should return, then you could either pass 'REQUEST' or 'self' (Depending on where the conference variable is:in REQUEST, in a Folder) to you method and have it return something like 'For the following exercise, use the conferencing system. %s' %REQUEST['conference'], tagtype='text' If the question was concerning the way to pass a variable to an external method, then the problem is that you can't use DTML inside an expression. Change it to something like: 'For the following exercise, use the conferencing system. %s' %conference, tagtype='text'
At the moment, the <!--#var conference--> is just showing up as HTML comments in the output.
Do I need to do some major magic at the external method?
