Use a DTML method, but use <dtml-var document_title>
Thx much Steve, but as explained before, it doesn't work as planned. Try this if you want to see the problem: 1. Create a test/ folder 2. Inside this folder, create a DTML Method object with ID = standard_html_header with the following code: <html><head><title><dtml-var title></title></head> <body>document_title = <dtml-var document_title><P>title = <dtml-var title><P> 3. Still inside the folder, create a DTML Method object with ID = dtml_method.html with the following code: <dtml-var standard_html_header> 4. Still inside the folder, create a DTML Document object with ID = dtml_document.html with the following code: <dtml-var standard_html_header> 5. Aim your browser at http://localhost:8080/test/dtml_method.html and http://localhost:8080/test/dtml_document.html Result: With both objects, <dtml-var document_title> displays the Title section of the standard_html_header object ("Standard HTML Header", in my case), but dtml_method.html displays "title = This is a test folder", while dtml_document.html displays "title = This is a Document" Conclusion: - If the document itself is a DTML Method, <dtml-var title> displays the Title section of the _container_ where the document lives - If the document is a DTML Document, <dtml-var title> displays the Title section of the _document_ itself Therefore, the designer has to decide whether s/he wishes to display a document's properties dynamically through a common standard_html_header DTML Method object (use DTML Document) or embed some code (use DTML Method), but not both. Bummer, because in index_html, in addition to displaying a banner dynamically through standard_html_header, I'd like to have Zope display links to all the documents located in sub-folders so that I wouldn't have to update index_html when a user has added a document in a sub-folder... I'll keep reading the Zope book to see if those two goals can be achieved through other ways. Thx again Eddie.
