Hi, How can we declare a variable globally in Zope using dtml tags & assign a value for it ?.

hi, you can do this a couple of ways. 1. create a property, one of the tabs, which can apply to the whole site (from the very top folder down) or from within a directory to apply only to the contents within that directory/folder. 2. if you are going to use a set of variables which are all related, you can create a dtml document, let's say 'global', then define the various variables you will use via the <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('',)"> method. in documents where you want to use these variables, the first line in each document can be a dtml-var call, e.g., <dtml-var global>. whatever variables you have defined in 'global' will then pass to the document, and you can call them, reassign them, or whatever. hth. ciao! greg.
