Hi, I'm building an external method which looks at its parent folders list of DTML documents and publishes it. At first, I thought I could just call the document template, something like:

function return(self): toReturn = self.index_html return toReturn(toReturn)

This works fine as long as the document has no variables of its own, but if, say default_html_header is referenced, the call barfs. As far as I can tell, the document has acquired nothing. I've been poking around the source code, and I'm really not sure what's going on. Does anyone have a helpful suggestion?

What it sounds like you want to do can be done just as easily in a DTML Method. <ul> <!--#in "objectValues('Folder')"--> <li>A folder: <!--#var id--></li> <!--#/in--> </ul> This is because a DTML Method is a method of the folder than contains it, not an Zope object in itself. If you put this code in a DTML *Document* you'll get nothing. -Michel
