Date: Fri, 28 May 1999 16:44:54 -0600 From: Evelyn Mitchell <efm-zope@tummy.com> To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] External Methods problem I'm trying to get my first External Method working. <!--#var "SQLTimeDiff(_['startdate'], _['starttime'], _['enddate'], _['endtime'])" --> The error I'm getting is: <!-- Error type: TypeError Error value: read-only character buffer, class -->

There's the problem with using data gets from SQL method in external method using by function 'sqlattr' in my case(I also stranged by it). f.e. try: ob=self.sqlUserQuery(username=user_name2) except: wr_to_logfile(fileName,'User "%s" Not connected to database.\n' % user_name2) return '/Errors/error0_html' if not ob: wr_to_logfile(fileName,'No such user("%s"). Not logged in.\n' % user_name2) return '/Errors/error1_html' ob2=ob[0] user_name = sqlattr(ob2, 'USER_NAME') if I tried to use user_name then this error has been occured.

It looks to mee that the data is being passed correctly, though it doesn't seem to be getting to the external method SQLTimeDiff.
