I'm working with converting Squishdot to use ZPT so that it looks more like the rest of our site. Using DTML Squishdot passes variables from an internal method to a DTML method like this, return self.showMessage( self, REQUEST=REQUEST, title='%s Posted' % klass.meta_type, message=message, action=path ) The DTML method then refers to <dtml-var action>. How do I refer to the variable in a TAL statement to have access to "action". Everything I've tried has been a variation on, <span tal:replace="here/action">Action</span> which is undefined. -- Bryan C.
