Redirecting from Python?
Greetings! I'm working on a Product, and I'd like to be able to do a RESPONSE.redirect() from inside the Python code. What I had was basically this: <dtml-if "some number of conditions"> View the page . . . <dtml-else> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('blahblahblah')"> </dtml-if> This works fine, but rather than having that sitting out in DTML-land, I figured I could put the conditions in the Python code and simplify the if statement, so all I'd have to do is: <dtml-if someConditions> View the page . . . </dtml-if> The Python code I was hoping would accomplish this was: def someConditions(self): if (some number of conditions): return 1 else: self.REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect('blahblahblah') My problem is that the redirect just doesn't happen. I've had this function return values and the like, so I know it's parsing my conditions correctly, and I can even do a "return self.REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect" and have the function returned back into my page, but it won't actually redirect. Any ideas? Thanks in advance . . . -CJ
Are you doing a dtml-var or dtml-call to call your external method? I believe you need a dtml-call. --jfarr "Perl is worse than Python because people wanted it worse."

I've tried both. :) Other things I've tried: * Explicitly passing in the REQUEST object * Explicitly passing in the RESPONSE object * slapping a "return" in front of the call Also, it's not really an external method . . . It's a method defined in the product's class. (Perhaps that's significant somehow.) Thanks for the info, though . . . :) -CJ

You actually should use something like this: raise 'Redirect','http://my.server/my/path' -- christian -- Christian Scholz MrTopf@IRC COM.lounge http://comlounge.net/ communication & design cs@comlounge.net
