Re(2): [Zope] passing parameters to DTML Methods/Documents

[David McCuskey]

There was a discussion in January about this on the Zope-Dev list.
search for: "Passing arguments to DTML methods"

and back in 2000 on the Zope list:
search for "How to pass values to a DTML method"

there are searchable lists at:
http://zope.nipltd.com/

The short of it is:

""" copied from one of the messages

try something like:

<dtml-var "method_name(_.None, _, param=value)">

or:

<dtml-var "method_name(_.None, _, arg1=value1, arg2=value2)">

for a longer expose see the faq:
http://zdp.zope.org/projects/zfaq/faq/DTML/955111628
"""


Is this what you guys are looking for?
