This is not a question, I think it's more a request for comment. Problem: I have the following structure of folders. The top folder has the global standard_html_header and acquisition has it, that it is usable in all the subfolders. / standard_html_header SubFolder1/ SubFolder2/ Now I have a small modification in my headers from SubFolder1 downwards. Well, there are many ways to cope with that problem, I want to do it that ways: I want to integrate the old standard_html_header into the new one I define in SubFolder1. Ok, that can look like this: <load old standard_html_header> <my addtional code> The problem I have to solve now, is to load the old standard_html_header. Solution: I will give you all my tries, just for fun :-)) :-( First try: <dtml-var standard_html_header> The easy way certainly doesn't work. It gives a nice error: "SystemError: infinite recursion in document template" And it shows you, that Zope really is quick. It does the infinite loop in less than 30 seconds :-))) :-( Second try: <dtml-var "PARENTS[1].standard_html_header"> Well, this gives me the right object, but it isn't rendered. As I reviewed the list archive, I found out, that this seems to be normal. Maybe somebody can explain why, if he/she has some sparetime. :-( Third try: <dtml-var "PARENTS[1].standard_html_header(_.None,_)"> Wow, it works! But, as the smiley implies, it has its disadvantages: Using it in SubFolder2 gives again an infinite recursion. Find out for yourselves, why ;-)) :-) Fourth try: <dtml-var "PARENTS[-1].standard_html_header(_.None,_)"> or: <dtml-var "FolderName.standard_html_header(_.None,_)"> if you want to use the method of a subfolder. That seems to be the right way. Any comments? After the second try (my first serious one ;-) I tried the following: <dtml-with "PARENTS[-1]"> <dtml-var standard_html_header> </dtml-with> but this has the disadvantage, that standard_html_header uses the namespace of PARENTS[-1] to display things like id or title. Maybe this should go into the FAQ?
