Hello! Can anyone here explain clearly what is the difference between DTML Methods and DTML Documents regarding acquisition? Well, in simple cases I think I understand it. When I call a Method through the web, it use dynamic (based on current URL) acquisition path. A Document uses static (based on its position in ZODB) path. But what if I want to look a bit deeper? What are acquision paths for a Method called from a Document, not directly from the web? I beleive when a Document called from a Method it always uses static acquisition path. But what about a Method called from a Document? It seems my Methods stopped using dynamic paths and use static paths, provided by its callee. Right? Let's see a running demo. The site http://phd.russ.ru/pcgi/TEST/ constructed as follows: /TEST - folder index_html - standard DTML Document with default content standard_html_header - DTML Method standard_html_footer - DTML Method 2 - folder, empty Both folders /TEST and /TEST/2 have a property "foobar". In /TEST its value is "First test!", in /TEST/2 - "This is SECOND test." standard_html_header show the property with <dtml-var foobar>. When I call standard_html_header directly through the web, it acquires foobar using dynamic acquisition path: http://phd.russ.ru/pcgi/TEST/standard_html_header show foobar from root (/TEST) http://phd.russ.ru/pcgi/TEST/2/standard_html_header show foobar from /TEST/2 But then I call standard_html_header from DTML Document index_html: http://phd.russ.ru/pcgi/TEST/index_html show foobar from root (/TEST); exactly as I expected, no problem http://phd.russ.ru/pcgi/TEST/2/index_html WOW! It show foobar again from root, not from /TEST/2! standard_html_header acquires using static path provided by index_html! Is it normal and intended behaviour? If it is, how can I "solve" my problem? (I want to acquire different properties in standard_html_header, but call standard_html_header from different DTML Documents).
