I'm having trouble using the value of a property to determine which object to render (Zope 2.2.1, if it makes any difference). Starting from the beginning, let's say I have two folders A and B with four DTML methods (Nilo, Alpha, Smalpha, and Bravo): / Nilo /A Alpha Smalpha /B Bravo From Alpha, I can render Nilo, Smalpha, and Bravo by using this dtml: <dtml-var Nilo> (or <dtml-var "Nilo">) <dtml-var Smalpha> (or <dtml-var "Smalpha">) <dtml-var "B.Bravo"> (not <dtml-var B.Bravo>!) OK, now I want a property of folder A, call it 'choice', to determine what should be rendered by Alpha. So I rewrite Alpha to include: either <dtml-var "_[choice]"> or <dtml-var "_.getitem(choice)"> These work nicely if I set 'choice' to 'Nilo' or 'Smalpha' but I don't see how to make either one work for Bravo! Setting 'choice' to 'B.Bravo' gives me: Error Type: KeyError Error Value: B.Bravo How do I get this to work for Bravo (and still keep it working for the other cases)? Clearly my zen needs some tending to. -- Dennis Nichols nichols@tradingconnections.com
