There are only two ways of doing this:
1) hidden form inputs
2) cookies
3) session variables (kind of like number 2)

Using the former solution, you can make your link be the submit button
for the form, either by using Javascript (yuk: a
href="javascript:document.forms['myform'].submit()"someuser/a) or by
making it a graphical button rather than a text link (input
type=button, img="button.gif" as far as I remember, but I might be
wrong).

Why use javascript to access cookies?  You can set and get them purely
using zope.  http://www.zope.org/Members/BwanaZulia/cookies.  Also, why
not install a session product (HappySession, FSSession, SQLSession...),
it'll probably make your life easier in the long run...

 To my knowledge, it's the only way to do it, and if it works, why bother ?

And from the first link, there are a way to include such a hidden field
when calling a link? That is the real question: how to substitute the
'a href="ManageUserProperties?username=someuser"someuser/a' using
hidden fields? ManageUserProperties is an DTML method, and are
differents calls, with differents usernames in the same page (if I put a
hidden field it's value will be the same to all the calls to the DTML
Method in question).

I'm thinking that maintaining some "session attributes" in a cookie is
another idea, and sustitute the direct call to the method to a call to a
JavaScript, but I don't want to use the most complicated method...

[Zope] Passing parameters to methods - how to?

2000-09-30 Thread Cesar A. K. Grossmann

Hi!

I'm making my own user managements methods, and I'm stucked with a
(simple) problem: How do I call another DHTML method, passing parameters
to it, in HTML?

I'm using a DTML Method that gives me a list of usernames. I want to
click on the username and get the properties for that username. I wrote
another DTML Method to do that, but I don't know how to pass the
username to this second DTML Method.

The username list page have, for every user, a line like that (suppose
two
usernames, fred and jorge):

a href="ManageUserProperties"fred/abr
a href="ManageUserProperties"jorge/abr

How do I pass the username to the ManageUserProperties DTML Method? I
have tried to use something like:

a href="ManageUserProperties?username=fred"fred/abr
a href="ManageUserProperties?username=jorge"jorge/abr

It works, but the ManageUserProperties DTML Method have another form in
it, that calls itself, using the POST method:

form action="ManageUserProperties" method="POST"

Clicking in the "submit" button, it gives me an error, telling that
'username' is not defined. So I included an hidden field with
name="username" and value="dtml-var username", but I'm thinking this
is not the better way to do that...

Can someone helps me?

TIA

Hi Cesar !

 Clicking in the "submit" button, it gives me an error, telling that
 'username' is not defined. So I included an hidden field with
 name="username" and value="dtml-var username", but I'm thinking this
 is not the better way to do that...
 
 Can someone helps me?

To my knowledge, it's the only way to do it, and if it works, why bother ?
