This is actually a way to track errors. We have a site that has a HUGE
gambit of forms that people have to go through to apply for a loan. I've
caught every kind of error that we can think of, and then some, but I
still have it all being caught in a <dtml-try> with the except going to
an error page. We're going to have all the people on our floor (100 or
so) hit the site and try to break something. What I want is to have the
<dtml-except> send them to a page that records the current REQUEST
somewhere on the server so I can see what information they sent that
broke it. Does that make sense? It would also be nice to have this
information when the site goes live. That way I can see if somebody out
there in the real world came up with some other way to mess things up
(and I'm sure they will.)
Anwho .. the lines listed below work great if you put ANYTHING in there
other than REQUEST. They even work if you put single quotes around
REQUEST. It just creates the dtml document with the date as the name and
sticks the work 'REQUEST' in it. How can I actually get the current
REQUEST information into something? Our first atempt was to insert it
into a table on the Oracle server, but that failed with similar results.
Thanks again,
Rick

You need something like:
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('newname', ZopeTime().strftime('%m-%d-%Y-%H-%M'))">
<dtml-call "manage_addDocument(_['newname'],'')">
<dtml-call "manage_edit(str(REQUEST),'')">
The last line doesn't work, of course, as I don't know how to get the added
document. I'm a newbie...

oops. The one I'm using doesn't have quotes around REQUEST:
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('newname',
ZopeTime().strftime('%m-%d-%Y-%H-%M'))">
<dtml-call "manage_addDTMLDocument(newname, 'Error', REQUEST)">

I've tried creating the document first, and then using manage_edit to
insert it, and the same thing happens. I really need to dump the
REQUEST object somewhere when there's been an error so I can see what
happened.
