You could accomplish the first by using: <dtml-with "a_folder_name[the_variable_name]"> --Note it says "the_variable_name" and not "the_variable_value" Another way to set a variable within the current DTML is to use <dtml-let>. Hope that helps, Kevin -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Patrick Price Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 11:52 PM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] DTML Newbie: Using variable as an object in path? I'd like to set a variable in a DTML document, then call another DTML doc and use that variable as part of an object path:, eg: <dtml-with a_folder_name.the_variable_value> so I can use different objects (files) by passing the filename in the variable. How can I do this? Also, is the correct way to set a DTML variable to use dtml-call REQUEST.set or is there another way?
