Please read the Zope-Book for self-answering newbiesih questions. http://zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition
When I am calling a dtml method using a dtml tag such as <dtml-var mymethod> it appears to pass the namespace of the calling document.
However, when I am calling a dtml method using the expr syntax, such as <dtml-var expr="mymethod()"> it doesn't.
Taken from the Zope-Book: http://zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/ScriptingZope.stx """Note that DTML Methods and Documents take optional client and REQUEST parameters. If a client is passed to a DTML Method, the method tries to resolve names by looking them up as attributes of the client object. By passing our context as a client, the method will look up names in that context. Also, we can pass it a REQUEST object and additional keyword arguments - the DTML Method will first try to resolve names in them.""" Use <dtml-var expr="mymethod(None, _)"> Cheers, Maik
