Frankly I didn't understand all of that, but your problem is that your method is not being "rendered" -- i.e. "called" It's the difference between: my_form <-- this is an object my_form() <-- this is the output from calling the object the latter is usually the actual string sent to the browser in Zope. This is complicated by the fact that DTML will try several (sensible) alternatives if "my_form" is not a callable object, such as calling the object's __repr__ or __str__ methods, etc. But the most import thing to know is the following: *These* are the same for a callable object, and should render: <dtml-var my_form> <dtml-var name="my_form"> <dtml-var expr="my_form(None, _)"> (note the "_"). while *these* should show the object itself (i.e. its __repr__ will be rendered): <dtml-var "my_form"> <dtml-var expr="my_form"> For a *non-callable* object the above two sets are probably equivalent, except for: <dtml-var expr="my_form(None, _)"> which will cause a traceback (can't call a non-callable object!).
