Gosh darnit I love the way the human mind works. Solved my own problem again. In a call the DTMLDocument method __call__ the client parameter is implicity (defaults to) none, instead of what is *should* be: itself. So the namespace contained no client, and thus nothing to look up. In order for the call to properly execute I had to change that line of dtml from: <dtml-var "leftnav['patientleftnav']()"> to: <dtml-var "leftnav['patientleftnav'](leftnav['patientleftnav'])"> In my honest opinion this function should be changed to work so that if client=None then client=_. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Gregory" <matthew.gregory@skyleach.com> To: "Zope" <zope@zope.org> Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 1:48 PM Subject: [Zope] DTML namespace lookups
In the following namespace:
psn |_images |_portals |_PatientPortal |_portlets |_portlet_template |_leftnav |_images |_Ahmonson
I have a dtml method in "leftnav" called "patientleftnav" which looks like:
<dtml-var portal_framework_footer> <dtml-if groupname> <dtml-let imageDirectory="images[groupname]" dotpic="psn['portals']['dot_img']"> <dtml-var patientleftnav_content> </dtml-let> <dtml-else> <dtml-let groupname="'Ahmanson'"> <dtml-let imageDirectory="images[groupname]" dotpic="psn['portals']['dot_img']"> <dtml-var patientleftnav_content> </dtml-let> </dtml-let> </dtml-if>
That method works fine, unless I call it from a method in "portlets" called "portlet_template" which looks like:
<dtml-var portal_framework_header>
<dtml-var "leftnav['patientleftnav']()"> <dtml-with REQUEST> <dtml-if includeFile> <dtml-var "_[includeDir][includeFile]()"> <dtml-else> No include file. </dtml-if> </dtml-with>
The error I get: Error Type: NameError Error Value: global name 'images' is not defined
I'm guessing that the line: <dtml-var "leftnav['patientleftnav']()"> is somehow not properly being executed in the proper namesapce, but I'm really not understanding why, or how to fix this problem.
