Is there a list of variable names that should be avoided in Zope dev? For example, haveing a field in my mysql database called id or title isn't very smart.

I know for a fact that "from" is a strange word. Or is it my application perhaps? <dtml-var from> didn't work, so I changed it to <dtml-var "REQUEST['from']"> and then it worked.

I haven't noticed a canonical list, but you might want to get a copy of the Zope Quick Reference and avoid things found there. ZQR is out of date, but it's also more complete in some ways than the API help. -- Joel Burton <jburton@scw.org> Director of Information Systems, Support Center of Washington
