Hello, Sorry, but I'm new at this :) The problem is simple, I want to call a dtml-var using a name (object) provided by the URL So for instance if the url is: http://host/cmf?document=main_english I want <dtml-var main_english fmt="structured-text"> to work properly. Of course the problem I'm having right now is that the parameter value is being passed as a string instead of being eval'ed ... So instead of the contents of "main_english" I get the STRING "main_english"! Unfortunately (Although for good reason) python's "eval" is not available ... So how do I do it? Thanks!
