I am trying to create a zope product in python but
have got stuck with using the dtml-in tag to iterate over a method (or is it a
function? I get a little mixed up) of my class. Here is the method,
def
list_messages(self):
lr = open(self.user_dir+'/msg_list', 'r') spl = re.compile('\s\|\s') for msg_line in lr.readline(): num_from_sub = [] num_from_sub = spl.split(msg_line, 2) print num_from_sub self.msgnum = num_from_sub[0] self.msgfrom = 'This is from UNKNOWN' self.msgsub = 'My special subject'
return self.msgnum, self.msgfrom, self.msgsub
And here is an extract from the dtml file that
is supposed to display the output,
<dtml-in
list_messages>
<tr> <td><a href="/spool/&dtml-user;/get_message?&dtml-msgnum;">&dtml-msgfrom;</a></td> <td><a href="/spool/&dtml-user;/get_message?&dtml-msgnum;">&dtml-msgsub;</a></td> </tr> </dtml-in> However, this does not produce the desired effect.
I don't know if it is obvious from what I've written, but basically, the three
variables (self.msgnum, self.msgfrom and self.msgsub) are supposed to be
inserted into the appropriate place in the table, and then the 'for' statement
re-executed (producing different values for the variables) with the subsequent
values being inserted into the next line of the table etc... until there are no
more lines to be read from lr. I'm not sure if that is clear or not, sorry.
Obviously, this does not work as the dtml-in simply iterates over each of the
returned variables (instead of over the for statement). I can't seem to make it
do what I want. Does anyone have any ideas? Much obliged if you do.
Cheers
