Hi,
I'm having some scoping issues with PARENTS. It doesn't seem to acknowledge with tags or anything else. For example, if I have the folder hierarchy: A B C D E
and in the index_html document of C I say: <dtml-with E> <dtml-in PARENTS> <dtml-var "_['sequence-item'].id"><br> </dtml-in> </dtml-with>
it produces: C B A
That's because acquisition produces a namespace stack of A B C, so in reversed order PARENTS are BA if index_html is a DTML Method. If index_html is a DTML Document then PARENTS are CBA. Actually Zope should give a NameError if you call <dtml-with E>, as E per se is not accessible from C. If you want E, you should call <dtml-with "D.E">. So. if you call D.E from C's index_html then its PARENTS are still C, B, and A. The with tag does not seem to stack namespace upon the existing namespace stack.
when I actually want: E D A
And if I say: <dtml-var "E.PARENTS">
then I get an error message.
Yes, because PARENTS is not an attribute of E. It will generate an error anywhere.
What am I doing wrong? Is there an easy way to make it behave like I want it to?
This is a bit difficult to answer if you do not make clear what you want to attain? You could change the folder hierarchy to A D E B C or in your own hierarchy call C's index html from E. Rik
