[Zope] MessageDialog with dtml?

[Peter Arvidsson]

Is it possible to display a MessageDialog with dtml only? I have
searched the mailinglist archives and found some postings about this but
the instructions there doesnt seem to work. Maybe MessageDialog has been
changed to 2.2 or something?

Butch did this in Squishdot, one of the changes I made for 0.4.1 was to
let headers adn footers be included, here's the code from Squishdot.py:

return self.showError(self, REQUEST=REQUEST,
  ^
   important bits
  title='Data Missing', 
  message=message, 
  action=REQUEST['URL1']+'/previewPosting' 
  ) 

showError is a DTML method contained in the Squishdot folderish
object...

HTH,

A thanks Chris. I had noticed that and was trying to see if I could do
without using REQUEST. I couldnt so I went and changed all the calls to my
class *sigh*. Thanks mate.

Sadly REQUEST and the client are always necessary.

If you want to call your MessageDialog from anywhere in DTML as well as
from python you'll need that pretty old favourite:

dtml-var "MessageDialog(_,_.None, ...your args...)"

:(

cheers,

Chris

The MessageDialog is cool, but a little sparse, has anyone tried overriding
