Zope? I determined the source of my problem described below: the new behavior is that I now need to explicitly use a "namespace" statement in the DTML, ala <!--#with "PARENTS[0]"--> <PARAM name = "entryURL" value = "<!--#var entryURL-->"> <!--#/with--> The Advanced DTML document clued me into this. So I think it is fair to say that the default namespace behavior has changed in the new 2.nnn version. I have recently brought over some work I was doing under the previous version of Zope (the latest 1.xxx version) to the version of Zope I installed from Zope-2.0.0b1-win32-x86.exe and am noticing a difference in behavior that I can't understand yet. Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated. The scenario is as follows: Folder_A Folder_B Folder_C Folder_D Folder A has an index_html DTML document in it which has the line <PARAM name = "entryURL" value = "<!--#var entryURL-->"> Folder_B, Folder_C, Folder_D all have a property which is called "entryURL". Note that Folder_A which holds the index_html document does NOT have this property. In the previous version of Zope, if I used a URL such as .../Folder_A/Folder_B/Folder_C/Folder_D (... stands for part I don't want to bother typing--not literal) I would get back an html page that had Folder_D's value for the "entryURL" property. Now, after exporting and importing my data into the new version of Zope, if I do the same thing, I get the html page, but with the "entryURL" value for Folder_B--the highest (in the hierarchy) folder that has the property. It seems that the search mechanism is finding the first instance of the property it can find in the URL versus starting at the lowest folder and searching upward. What am I doing wrong?
