Dublin Core Elements

The Dublin Core metadata element set is a standard for cross-domain information resource description.
Element Description Value
Identifier resource ID http://old.zope.org/Members/peterbe/w2f
Title resource name w2f - Write To File
Description resource summary The script in itself is harmless but the idea of using it very useful. Installation Download into zope/Extensions and create a External Method object in the root with all fields filled to 'w2f'. Anywhere from Python Scripts or DTML you can call this to print information before it's taken away from you. In DTML is can be handy if you use DTML-call-RESPONSE.redirects and you won't be able to see variables value for example. In python script, if you use 'return variable' your 'print "variable is: ", variable' won't work. Also, in Python Scripts 'return printed' doesn't work if there is an error down the line. Here are some examples of how you can use it:: <dtml-let rr=getRandomX> <dtml-call "w2f(rr)"> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('http://bla bla bla')"> </dtml-let> Or as in a Python Script:: if name=="Peter": context.w2f("I am here") o=x else: context.w2f("Obviously not") o=y return o In External Methods or Python Products, this is not necessary because you can use 'print' anywhere and harmlessly read it from the stdout. The few people I know who could be bothered to try it have found it very useful for development. I find it very very useful too. Destructing the walls of debugging!

If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the Plone design at its best. Plone makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser, but the design needs a standards-compliant browser to look like we intended it. Just so you know ;)
