Hi Luca,
In general in Elisa, one UI screen == one controller.
If you need a controller to accept named parameters, these should be
passed to and handled by its initialize method.
A simple example would look like this:
class MyController(PigmentController):
def initialize(self, parameter):
dfr = super(MyController, self).initialize()
self.parameter = parameter
return dfr
When you need to instantiate this controller passing it a parameter, you
can either do this:
browser.history.append_controller(path, title, parameter=value)
or this:
browser.history.append_controller(path, title, {'parameter': value})
This of course works with any number of arguments.
An introduction to keyword arguments in Python can be found at
http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/tut/node6.html#SECTION006720000000000000000.
I hope this helps,
Olivier
