Hi Josh,
I'm kinda new to this stuff, but I think I am doing something similar to
what you need.
I have a DTML method that grabs a ZCLass object's id from the query string
and uses it to
gain access to that ZCLass object.  It looks like I'm generating the id's
the same way
you are (not that that matters...)  I do it like this:
The URLs look something like this:
addUserToEvent?977952867
where 977952867 is the id of the ZClass object I want to work with

and the "addUserToEvent" method has this in it:


...Do stuff with the ZClass reference here...



I hope that helps.

Eric.

This interprets "979226100" as an integer.

I want to get some properties for a zclass instance after being passed its
id in a variable. In these tests I have been defining the varible in the
code, in the final case it will be passed through the url.

Using the id directly as above works fine, it writes the attribute to the
page.

Thanks for any help,

Josh On

Re: [Zope] with a variable

2001-01-12 Thread josh on

I want to read an zclass instances' properties.  I want to make some dtml
that can be passed the instances' id then give me the properties that I
request.

I was trying   and it worked when I plugged the id striaght into
it, but when I tried substituting that with a dynamic varible I couldn't get
it to work.

I have been trying some other approaches that maybe someone could tell me if
I am on the right track or if there is some cumentaion that could help me
out.  I have been going through the list archives for hours!

here is a my latest failed attempt!




I know that I could use the Catalog, but it seems crazy to have to track
everyvariable property of an object that I want to access.

I am sure that this is a basic problem and would love some help with it.
