[Zope] getPropertyType

[marc lindahl]

Tim, 
take a look at the python/OFS/dtml/properties.dtml code.

Something more like:

<dtml-in details.propertyMap mapping>  -- not sure about that part, since
properties.dtml is not for a subsheet.

but anyway, use the mapping

then you'd have:


<tr>
<th align="left"><dtml-var propertyLabel(id)></th>
<td><dtml-if "type =='text'">
 <textarea name="<dtml-var id>:text" rows="6" cols="35"><dtml-var
   "getProperty(id)" html_quote></textarea>
<dtml-else>
  <input type="text" name="<dtml-var id>:<dtml-var
   type>" size="35" value="<dtml-if "hasProperty(id)"><dtml-var
   "'%s' % getProperty(id)" html_quote></dtml-if>">
</dtml-if></td>
</tr>

...but I'd suggest studying properties.dtml the code there is much more
complete.
