[Zope] Using Zope Page Templates for forms (tabs of products)

Congratulations ;-)

This is described in:
http://www.zope.org/Members/Zen/howto/ZPT_management

><dtml-with "_(management_view='Bounce')">
For this, you will have to pass a parameter to the template like:

from Products.PageTemplates.PageTemplateFile import PageTemplateFile
_myTemplate=PageTemplateFile('zpt/myTemplateName',globals())

def myTemplate(self):
  """Here some attributes are added to the template"""
  _myTemplate._owner=None
  #Adds the management_view attribute to the built-in variable "options"
  return _myTemplate.__of__(self)(management_view='Bounce')

Then you can do this on zpt:
<div tal:define="management_view options/management_view">
  Do something here
</div>

>And how do I make a call similar to this:
>DTMLFile('dtml/manage_bounceForm', globals())
See above.

Josef
