However, if you try to do the same thing with a LocalFS object, i.e. <dtml-var "localfs_object.localfs_subobject.bobobase_modification_time">, you get the error NameError: localfs_subobject This leads me to believe that LocalFS subobjects are not really objects. But then how does the Zope management interface deal with them, and how can I? They are real objects but they behave differently from the standard Zope objects.
You can use <dtml-with "localfs_object['localfs_subobject']"> <dtml-var bobobase_modification_time> </dtml-with> At least the "Local File System" object does not expose its children via "getattr" (which is required for the usual "." operator to work) but only via "[...]". This probably is a bug. Dieter
