Kyler B. Laird (laird@ecn.purdue.edu) posted a quick n' dirty fix on the Zope mailing list. I'll include it here for convenience: -- snip -- After beating on this over the last day or so trying to understand what was happening at the Web interface level (thinking that I must have just screwed up a permissions setting somewhere), I finally looked at the code and simply commented out line 602 in /data/www/Zope/Zope-2.2.0a1-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_In.py # raise ValidationError, index -- snip -- Hope this helps, T.J.
