So, I am looking for a better solution. Hoe does zope.org do it?
Dont use dtml-method/document's. Create a new custom python product/ZClass to store your data.
Ok, I'll look into it.
I don't want to be rude, but if you don't know this, I don't see how you can say that ZPT is too un-mature at this point to be usable.
I am, as you yourself state, no expert, but I this is the reason not to choose ZPT for the moment: * I have the feeling that ZPT is still under more or less intense development. Now, I use stuff that is still under development in our project, exUserFolder for instance, but, in contrast to ZPT, I am able to grasp and understand the inner workings of exUserFolder and fix whatever error i discover myself. I cannot do that with ZPT, because it is a much larger and more complex piece of software. Also, _for our current project_, the effects of big changes are much more profound if we were to use ZPT compared to major changes in exUserFolder. I am having a hard time as it is keeping my co-developers happy with zope, which is a totally new environment for all of us. Adding the extra complexity of ZPT is really not an option at this moment. I am following the ZPT mailing list (more or less; I am subscribed), and we will be switching to ZPT in future projects, not because it will be bundled with future Zope versions, but for the very reason that I chose Zope over PHP, JSP, Perl in the first place: separation of content, presentation and logic. So, this is the reason I have for not choosing ZPT over dtml *right now*. Maybe it is the wrong one, but so be it; we are two weeks from user testing, this issue is a minor thing and I am not about to do ZPT evangilising at this stage. And yes, imo, you were rude; that last comment was totally uncalled for.
