[Zope] form/script problem

[Maik Jablonski]

hi,

ahhh I see... I think showFiles is a DMTLMethod. So you must pass the 
"positional" parameters.

you coded:

 >>>return context.avc.showFiles()

should be something like this:

return context.avc.showFiles(None,context.REQUEST)

does this help?

greetings, maik
