Hi Dirksen, I think the problem you are having has to do with using 'getItem'. From the SkinScriptSyntax Wiki page: "If the RESULT is NOT_FOUND, the search for the attribute value falls through to the next declaration (or attribute provider if the SkinScript is finished). If there is an

Hi Dirksen.. try this: WITH Deliverables.getItem(self.id) COMPUTE name=((RESULT is _.None) and 'none available') or RESULT.name What are you using as the 'load by accessing attribute' attribute? -steve ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Steve, It works! Thank you. Still there's a couple of things to be cleared. What's the use of 'otherwise' clause? And is it true that the 1st 'with' clause fails, the whole skinscript process fails (so one 'with' clause is all one skinscript can put up with)? Dirksen

Hi Dirksen, OK.. the problem was that DataSkinAddons:DummyDataSkin doesn't allow access to attributes of 'self'. Once I switched to a differnt ZClass (which is a direct subclass of DataSkin) then everything was fine again.. ) just for Facade instances: I'm now using WITH

Hi Dirksen, For your 'otherwise' case, could you have a single instance that serves as an 'unknown' object: WITH Deliverables.getItem(self.id) COMPUTE originalObject=RESULT or NOT_FOUND OTHERWISE originalObject=Deliverables.getItem('Unknown') where it is known that the Deliverables

Hi Steve, I've made my experiment simple, by playing with the DumbZPatterns examples, testing one rack under one specialist. Here is the skinscript: WITH Deliverables.getItem(self.id) COMPUTE name=name, dueDate=dueDate, description=description, todoIDs=todoIDs WITH SELF COMPUTE

Hi Steve, Deliverables has objects. The call to existent objects are successful. It's the call to the inexistent objects that doesn't turn out expectedly. But the first thing is whether my script is correct. Do you thing so? And any other way to test this kind of situation, i.e. passing

Hi Dirksen, Ok.. you need to set the 'load by accessing attribute' field to 'original_object'. You may need to change your SkinScript to something like: WITH getMale(self.id) COMPUTE original_object=(RESULT is _.None) and NOT_FOUND or RESULT So that when getMale returns _.None, the

Hi Steve, Both racks are set to be loaded by accessing 'id', which, as you guessed right, don't appear in handling attributes list! This is the simplified skinscript in maleMemberRack: WITH getMale(self.id) COMPUTE original_object=RESULT WITH self.original_object COMPUTE name=id,

I set up two racks in one specialist, one is maleMemberRack, the other femaleMemberRack. Both are loaded by accessing attribute id, and have skinscripts to retrieve data from a db. Suppose the femaleMemberRack gets loaded first, it finds out from the db that the 'id' is a male, then how can it
