Hi there, I'm having a problem with acquisition. This may have been covered before, but searching through the 2000 messages I have, I didn't find it. My problem basically involves the acquisition process not traversing the namespace all the way up once it has found a "semi-match". For example: I have the follow folder structure: / index_html show_images /images bob <image object> henry <image object> /subfolderhenry index_html /images henry <image object> My /index_html uses show_images to display /images/bob and /images/henry I want my /subfolderhenry/index_html to use show_images to show /images/bob and /subfolderhenry/images/henry. When /subfolderhenry/index_html is rendered, the acquisition method goes looking for <dtml-var images/bob>. What seems to be happening is that it looks in /subfolderhenry/images and doesn't find bob. The problem is that it returns an error instead of moving up the tree to look in /images (where it would find bob). Am I mis-understanding the way acquisition should work, or is this a problem? As a work-around I can drop the images directories, and host the images in the actual directories. Not a great solution though. I look forward to your reply.
