A great learning tool I found was to just use the Z Search Method and choose to generate the page as ZPT instead of DTML. We are still 100% DTML in our shop so am no expert....but when I found this it did clarify a few things.

Hi

Anyone any ideas,

I have this in dtml (it uses other bits to query an sql d/b to return weblinks, does anyone know how to render it in ZPT. I cannot for the life of me figure it out.

I may then be able to guess how to do the rest.

Hope it's clear.

---find_a_link_search----

<dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('search_string')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('s',search_string)"> </dtml-if>

<dtml-in expr="is_proxy.callRemoteMethod('weblinks_py',s)">

<dtml-if sequence-start> <table border="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr> <td align="center"> Find a Weblink search results - <dtml-var sequence-length> matching titles found </td> </tr> <tr><td> </td></tr> </table> </dtml-if sequence-start>

<dtml-var sequence-item>

<dtml-else> <table border="0" width="100%"align="center"> <tr> <td align="center" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"> Find a Weblink search results </td> </tr>

<tr><td> </td></tr> <tr><td align="center">Sorry, no matching Weblinks were found.</td></tr> <tr><td align="center">Try Again?</td></tr> </table> </dtml-in>

Thanks very much dean

There is a HowTo easing migration from DTML to ZPT. Did you read it? If not, do it and come again when there are remaining questions. Dieter
