Collecting objects according to type in folders is not very Zope friendly. It is much better to group all objects required for a (sub-)application (or task) together in a folder: organisation according to task rather than according to type! That said, you can use: <dtml-with SUBDIRECTORY> <dtml-var image> </dtml-with> Dieter

I would install freshly, check that PythonScripts work correctly. Then move the old "var/Data.fs" to the new installation. Check again. > I really don't think that the DTML method is of type list - this happens > with old or new DTML methods, and old&modified or new PythonScripts alike. Hm, you confuse me a bit... I thought that creating new Python scripts or changing old ones would fail with the indicated error. But, apparently, you can create and change but then the script no longer works. You may try to rename "dtml_method". Maybe, somehow your context finds the wrong one. > 2) Restart or Shutdown from the Control Panel link fail with an error 5 (I/O > error) - this only happens intermittently. Apparently, it wants to write somewhere, where it is not allowed to. When you analyse the traceback, you may see, what operation fails. Maybe, it wants to write on the terminal which has been closed meanwhile... Dieter

Furthermore, you may look at the CMF-Documents. They do something similar as you want. Dieter

Bug in Zope 2.3.1b3 PythonScripts (I think)
by Mayers, Philip J 24 Mar '01

24 Mar '01

My earlier mail about the PythonScript calling DTML method appears to have been confirmed, at least on the RedHat 6.2 sparc platform. I just downloaded a clean installation of 2.3.1b3 onto another machine and did a clean build - no extra products, no imports, and the following PythonScript in the root: print context.standard_html_header(context,context.REQUEST) print context.standard_html_footer(context,context.REQUEST) return printed Gives this traceback: Error Type: TypeError Error Value: call of non-function (type list) Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/Zope2.3.1b3/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 223, in publish_module File /usr/local/Zope2.3.1b3/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /usr/local/Zope2.3.1b3/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File /usr/local/Zope2.3.1b3/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /usr/local/Zope2.3.1b3/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: test_html) File /usr/local/Zope2.3.1b3/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: test_html) File /usr/local/Zope2.3.1b3/lib/python/Shared/DC/Scripts/Bindings.py, line 324, in __call__ (Object: test_html) File /usr/local/Zope2.3.1b3/lib/python/Shared/DC/Scripts/Bindings.py, line 353, in _bindAndExec (Object: test_html) File /usr/local/Zope2.3.1b3/lib/python/Products/PythonScripts/PythonScript.py, line 336, in _exec (Object: test_html) (Info: ({'script': <PythonScript instance at 689a30>, 'context': <Application instance at 7399e0>, 'container': <Application instance at 7399e0>, 'traverse_subpath': []}, (), {}, None)) File Script (Python), line 2, in test_html (Object: <lambda>) TypeError: (see above) Identical code functions as expected under Zope 2.3.0 release code on the same machine. I can't see any obvious differences in either Products/PythonScripts or DocumentTemplate/ but I'm hardly a Zope core hacker... I guess it must be in the acquisition code. Suggestions welcome - I tried to put this into the Collector but got various combinations of unhelpful error messages (Pricipia Unavailable being the principle one) - oh well <grin> Suggestions welcome...
