Evan Simpson writes: extended-attribute syntax (foo-name-name="x" instead of foo="_[_[x]]"). HELP! I am sure, that such an extended attribute syntax would cause hundreds of messages in this list. I hope, it will not get adopted. I have considered proposing that we graft dtml-let's capabilities onto the other tags, so that we could write stuff like: dtml-var set-foo="getFoo()" var=foo set-param1=" 'text' " set-param2="id" That is better. Only: What does the "var=foo" mean? The thing that should be rendered? Then (with respect to this), the current syntax is clearer. Or: Should this be equivalent to: dtml-var "getFoo(_.None,_,param1='text', param2=id)? Then, it is not at all obvious. "getFoo" seams to be called explicitly without parameters. Clearer would be: dtml-var getFoo set-param1="'text'" set-param2="id" Dieter ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

They pass in the current name space, the context if you will. Someone posted a reply that had a link to the faq that attempts to explains this.

The first example is what I was doing. But felt it was hard to follow.

Re: [Zope] How to Pass values to a DTML method ??
From: Stuart Foster [EMAIL PROTECTED] The first example is what I was doing. But felt it was hard to follow. However I would be interested in why it would be considered more robust. I probably misused the word; what I meant was that the dtml-let form is less likely to have errors like forgetting the first two "magic" parameters or writing "sequence-item" instead of "_['sequence-item']", and can take advantage of current dtml-let features such as cascading assignment (foo=1, bar=foo+1, etc) and future ones such as extended-attribute syntax (foo-name-name="x" instead of foo="_[_[x]]"). I have considered proposing that we graft dtml-let's capabilities onto the other tags, so that we could write stuff like: dtml-var set-foo="getFoo()" var=foo set-param1=" 'text' " set-param2="id" ...or... dtml-in in="seq" set-seqKey=sequence-key set-letter="seqKey[0]" dtml-letter; /dtml-in Cheers, Evan @ digicool 4-am ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Stuart Foster writes: Dieter Maurer wrote: You should include two positional parameters as well: dtml-var "some_method(_.None,_,param=value)" This is the way I had to do it what's up with the two extra params? DTML objects use the DocumentTemplate's (-- DocumentTemplate.DT_String) __call__ function for rendering. This function has two (optional) positional arguments, "client" and "mapping" and an arbibrary number of keyword parameters. All these parameters together determine the content of this magic "namespace" that is used for name resolution inside the DocumentTemplate. If you want more details about this, look either at the source code documentation or search the lists archive for another post where I explained that in more detail. For a DTML object "name", dtml-var name is equivalent to dtml-var "name(_.None,_)", i.e. the client is "None" and the mapping is the namespace object "_". This propagates the namespace of the calling object into the called DTML object. If you use dtml-var "name(kp1=v1, kp2=v2, ...)", i.e. you do not provide parameters for the positional parameters, there use their default value, "None". This implies that the outer namespace and the corresponding context is not available in the called DocumentTemplate.

I have a DTML method that is called from a document. I need to pass a value to it like a parameter would be passed to a function. dtml-var some_method(param=value) try something like: dtml-var "method_name(_.None, _, param=value)" or: dtml-var "method_name(_.None, _, arg1=value1, arg2=value2)" for a longer expose see the faq: http://zdp.zope.org/projects/zfaq/faq/DTML/955111628 hth Rik ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

dtml-var "some_method(param='Test')" 'Test' is single quoted if it is a string, if it is a variable then don't quote it.
