A new issue of "Zope Guru of the Week" is available: =================================================================== Issue #1 -- DTML Subroutines =================================================================== Status: Open Zen Level: Novice (1/8) Keywords: DTML Submitted by: Tres Seaver tseaver@palladion.com ------------------------------------------------------------------- Suppose you have been happily hacking away at your Zope site, and discover that you are reusing a chunk of DTML over and over:: <!-- Display all contained FooTypes in a table--> <dtml-in "objectValues( 'FooType' )"> <tr> <td> <a href="&dtml-id;"><dtml-var id></a> </td> <!-- more FooType properties follow --> </tr> </dtml-in> Now, you decide to "refactor" the site to follow the "Once and Only Once":http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?OnceAndOnlyOnce dictum of "Extreme Programming":http://www.extremeprogramming.org : i.e., you'd like to make this snippet a reusable "subroutine," so that you could make changes to it in just one place. How do you move this code out into a DTML Method and then replace all the cloned copies with calls to that method? ------------------------------------------------------------------- To reply and win undying glory and mondo guru points: http://209.67.167.7/demos/ZGotW/1
