Why hard? Not hard at all - develop your own set of classes, make it into a Product, and use instance of these classes instead of DTML Documents. Actually, there is nothing special in DTML Documents - they are instances of DTMLDocument class, nothing more. Creating your own type of document is not harder, IMHO.
I was thinking about that to ! But how could you build a page with the template developed ?? something like: <dtml var template(COMPONENTS LIKE HEADER AND FOOTER AS ARGUMENTS)> and how can you generelize the objects to beeing used by the template ?
No, no, no! :) You misunderstand how the Zope works. You think that basic building block is a piece of HTML (probably you think to put it into DTML Documents). No. In Zope basic building block is "instance of some python class". A DTML Document is an instance of DTMLDocument class, e.g. If you develop your own set of classes, you'll just build Zope sites creating instances of these classes - you put HTML fragmenst just into these instances. Zope will call your objects, you don't need to use DTML to call them. Oleg. ---- Oleg Broytmann http://www.zope.org/Members/phd/ phd@phd.pp.ru Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
