first: consider changing to the 'new' dtml syntax

- I have a folder in my zope tree called spam. - spam has one document called "foo" - spam has a property called "eggs" which is set to "green"

foo looks like this: hello <p><!--#var eggs --> ( &dtml-eggs; )

I want to be able to change the value of eggs to, say, "blue" like so: <!--#if someCondition --> <!--#call "MythicalChangePropertyFunction(eggs, 'blue')" -->

<Untested> <dtml-call "manage_changeProperties('eggs', 'blue')">

<!--#endif --> <p>eggs is now <b><!--#var eggs --></b>

how do I do this?

I am running Zope 2.1.6 under debian linux.

this is platform independent hth Rik
