Hi everybody, The task I am trying to accomplish is to be able to call an object(it could be a dtml method, python script, php document, etc), given its path as a string parameter. Let's say my directory structure looks like this: /-+-Plone-+-homepage +-reports-+-Site1 +-Site2-+-myObject +-... +-... I need to call myObject, which path is '/Plone/reports/Site2/', from any other directory within the directory structure, but at this time I'm using homepage. Browsing the mailing list I found that I could use restrictedTraverse, so I created an External Method getObject under the homepage directory with the following code: def getObject( self ): return self.restrictedTraverse('/Plone/reports/Site2/myObject') myObject in this case is a php document that contains: <?php include "http://2ksvr/ploneSupp/lines.php?wk=2002-06-01"; ?> Now using the External Method from the homepage's index_html: <dtml-var getObject> This is what I get, instead of the chart that this object displays: <?php include "http://2ksvr/ploneSupp/lines.php?wk=2002-06-01"; ?> I also tried creating a python script with the following code: return container.restrictedTraverse('/Plone/pig_reports/test_farrowing/crChart') but the script returns this: <?php include "http://2ksvr/ploneSupp/lines.php?wk=2002-06-01";; ?> What am I doing wrong? Any ideas or help is more than welcome.
