[Zope3-Users] test() in TALES in Zope3
Hi,
in Zope2 there's a test() method that can be used in TAL (*). Is there something
comparable in Zope3?
I know how to write such a method but how to make it available in the
namespace of TALES-python:-expressions? I would like to write expressions
like this:
div tal:attributes=class python: 'foo' + test(condition == True,' bar','') /
Is this possible?
Regards,
Frank
(*) found it here:

(look for 'test(' )

(No more page template reading and macro searching for a code review) And there are also security related aspects. Doing to much in ZPT will force scripters to map methods to the traversal namespace and ends in accessing context attributes in ZPT like context/@@title Regards Roger Ineichen ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users

Still, I mostly spoke up because if one starts to use an idiom like: python:C and 'somestring' or 'anotherstring' you have to realize that python:C and '' or 'anotherstring' will fail. An idiom that breaks so easily doesn't seem so useful. ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users
