Forum OpenACS Development: Re: passing arguments, ad_proc definitions

Hmmm. This makes me curious.

Are the parameters known at the time of procedure definition or are they unknown?

If you use the format like this:

ad_proc -public template::element { command form_id element_id args } {
Manage elements of form objects.
} {

This is called like so:

template::element create $form_id $element_id -label "Label" -widget "Widget" -html "html" etc...

You can have an arbitrary list of named parameters which will be in the "args" variable.

If you pass this list to get_opts it will parse them into an array. This seems like what you were asking for, but maybe I am confused.
