I'm new to Zope and am interested in the use of document properties for separating content and design in documents (i.e., using <dtml-var prop_name> in the "edit" tab to insert properties defined on the "properties" tab>. I've had success with simple text properties and would like to be able to present the user with selection properties (choice 1, choice 2, ...). That works well when I first define a "lines" property, then a "selection" property. But, what I'd really like to do is hide the lines property from the user. I've tried putting a lines property in another document, then setting the selection value to 'source_doc.lines_prop'. That yields an error "No select variable source_doc.lines_prop." Any ideas on the right way to do this? Please feel free to point me to good documentation! _________________________________________ Steve McMahon, SunType Publishing Systems steve@suntype.com voice & fax: (530) 757-7682 http://www.suntype.com
