[Zope] Not grocking RESQUEST.set syntax

2000-10-25 Thread Noah 

I'm still not grocking the syntax for setting REQUEST fields.
I want to set a REQUEST field "filename" to be the value returned
by a ZSQL call. I want something like this (pseudo-code of what I want):

dtml-let FOO=MyFavoiteZSQLMethod
dtml-call "REQUEST.set('filename', FOO)" 
dtml-call some_other_thing_that_uses_filename
/dtml-let

That does not work because FOO gets set to something like:
Shared.DC.ZRDB.Results.Results instance at 7760b0
I tried sticking this inside dtml-indtml-in to get
at the sequence-item, but I just ended up getting confused.

Yours,
Noah

[Zope] [Fwd: [Zope] Not grocking RESQUEST.set syntax]

2000-10-25 Thread Daniel Rusch 

 


Try:
dtml-in MyFavoiteZSQLMethod
dtml-call "REQUEST.set('filename', filename)" 
dtml-call some_other_thing_that_uses_filename
/dtml-in

This assumes that MyFavoiteZSQLMethod returns the variable filename

thats because you're working on the results returned by a zsql method
which is a result object, you want access to values within it.

try

dtml-call "REQUEST.set('filenames',
MyFavoriteZSQLMethod(REQUEST).dictionaries())"


this returns the list of dictionaries that represent rows in the table,
with column names as keys and column values as values.

you can reference
lib/python/Shared/DC/ZRDB/Results.py
for more info on the results object

I think your simplest option is to use:

dtml-call "REQUEST.set('filenale', MyFavouriteZSQLMethod(_.None, _) )"

All that _.Non, _  stuff is the namespace etc that Zope normally passes to 
your methods.  (I don't fully understand it, I just know it works :)

Have a better one,
