[Zope] Two more questions

[Goldthwaite, Joe]

Thanks again.  Still no go although it looks like it's getting closer.
I tried this;

<tr tal:replace=3D"item python:here.GetISLines(FY=3Drequest.FY,
Per=3Drequest.Per)">

To my programmer eyes, that looks like it might be correct. I got a
really strange error though;

Error Type: TypeError
Error Value: unsupported operand type(s) for -

Does this mean that I have an unsupported operand for the nothing after
the dash or is it for the dash? There's no dash in the statement so I
guess I have an unsupported operand for nothing :~{


P.S. Tim, sorry for sending this message twice.  When I reply it goes
directly to the source instead of the list and I forget to type the
zope at zope.org before I send it.

Hi Joe,

I had another look and realized I was doing the wrong thing ;)
Try this instead.
<tr tal:repeat=3D"python:here.GetISLines(FY=3Drequest.FY;Per=3Drequest)">

Thanks Tim,

It didn't work.  I get a SyntaxError on the question mark. Specifically;

Compilation failed
TAL.TALDefs.TALError: Python expression error:
    GetISLines?FY=3Drequest
              ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax in expression
'python:GetISLines?FY=3Drequest', at
line 10, column 5

This brings up more questions.  I assume that GetISLines is looked up
through acquisition.  FY is the name of one of my parameters.  How does
it
know that I want the FY attribute of the request object?  Also, how
would I
pass two parameters?  "GetISLines?FY=3Drequest;Per=3Drequest"?

Sorry about the last email :)
In answer to the second question
Try something like this:
<tr tal:repeat=3D"item python:GetISLines?FY=3Drequest">

I really hate to keep bothering everyone but I'm still running into
things I
don't understand.

In order to keep my table headers consistent across reports, I have them
stored as a separate DTML method called IS_Ptd_Header.  In my main
Income
Statement, I have this where I want the table header to show up;

<span tal:replace=3D"structure here/IS_Ptd_Header"></span>

This works fine.  The problem I've run into is when I want to use tal
tags
in the header like this;

Income Statement for period <span
tal:replace=3D"request/Per">Period</span>

If I have this line in the Income Statement, I get the Per parameter
from
the URL. The same line in IS_Ptd_Header gets ignored so the resulting
page
shows "Income Statement for period period".  I thought that maybe the
tal
tags were being ignored because IS_Ptd_Header is a DTML method so I
created
a ZPT with the name IS_YTD_Header and used that in the tal replace
command
but the result came back as HTML quoted text instead of the actual HTML.
Anyone know what I'm missing?


Second problem.  I have an external method called GetISLines.  The
actual
function being called looks like this;

def GetISLines(FY =3D 2, Per =3D 12, CatType =3D "Grp", Categories =3D ""=
):
   c =3D ISLines(FY, Per, CatType, Categories)
   return c.DefLines

I've been doing all my testing using the default arguments with this tal
tag;

<tr tal:repeat=3D"item here/GetISLines">

I need to pass in the URL parameters but I can't figure out how to do
it.

<tr tal:repeat=3D"item here/GetISLines(request.FY)"> doesn't work.
Nothing
else I've tried works either.  How do you pass parameters to an external
function?


Thanks.

Joe Goldthwaite
