1. Why is there no method.__replaceable__(why the concatenation?)
Method objects in python can't have arbitary attributes.
2. Where is this behaviour documented in Zope.
There's a project on the Fishbowl, IIRC.
While we are on the topic, I still have not succeeded at doing something very simple. All I want to do is to include the result of a rendered object in another object so that I can produce content somewhere in my zope tree(this content might inherit some other content from higher in the tree) and then include that content in a display somewhere else (in a place where the original content cannot be acquired).
file1 <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var menu> This var is aquired from my parent <dtml-var standard _html_footer>
file2 <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var expr="/path/top/file1/file1.index_html()">This file is not in my acquisition tree and I just rendered its output for your convenience wrapped in a new header and footer! <dtml-var standard _html_footer>
You can do the above with two page templates ;-) file1 <html metal:use-macro="here/main_template/> file2 <html metal:use-macro="here/main_template> <body> <tal:x tal:replace="root/path/top/file1/file1.index_html"/> </body> </html>
At the moment, I get a key-error telling me that file1 cannot find the <dtml-var menu> item so clearly it is not acquiring from its own tree.
DTML is evil. Don't use it. cheers, Chris
