[Zope] Passing parameters into DTML methods

[Albert Boulanger]

I have the following dtml code piece (using Zope 1.10.2):


<!--#call "updateValue(newval=100)"-->

updateValue is a dtml method which looks like:


<!--#if "hasProperty('lastValue')"-->
<!--#call "manage_changeProperties(lastValue=newval)"-->
<!--#else-->
<!--#call
"manage_addProperty('lastValue',newval,getPropertyType('default'))"-->
<!--#/if-->

When I view the dtml method, foo, with the call <!--#call
"updateValue(newval=100)"-->
I get the error below . Interestingly, if I change the method above to:

<!--#if "hasProperty('lastValue')"-->
<!--#call "manage_changeProperties(lastValue=100)"-->
<!--#else-->
<!--#call
"manage_addProperty('lastValue',100,getPropertyType('default'))"-->
<!--#/if-->

And call it as  <!--#call updateValue--> it works.... Is this the right
way to pass in a parameter to a dtml method?
