Help!,

We are trying to load user roles from a table. roles needs to be a list so that the manage_users call can set the roles.

The question is how does one create a list on the fly in the REQUEST Space...? The below snippet does not create the list, any thoughts???

//snippet <dtml-in getUserRoles> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('roles:list',name)"> </dtml-in> <dtml-call "acl_users.manage_users(submit='Add', REQUEST=REQUEST)">

Do it as you would in python: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('roles': ['role1','role2', name])"> or in your case <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('roles': [name,])"> -- Itamar S.T. itamars@ibm.net

you can do this with something like: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('list', [])"> you can append elements to the list: <dtml-call "list.append(1)"> output some elements: <dtml-var "list[0]"> slices and dtml-in also work: <dtml-in "list[1:]"> <dtml-var sequence-item><br> </dtml-in> hth peter.
