Hi James, You probably have misspelling somewhere. It should work as you anticipated, or I haven't understood your problem correctly. //johan
I've been playing with Zope for a couple of days. Coming from a Smalltalk background, many of the concepts employed by Zope are very familiar. However, I seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding about how acquisition works. As an experiment, I created a Folder object called "Testing". I defined an index_html document with the following DTML code:
<dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var folderName> <dtml-var standard_html_footer>
I also defined a DTML method in Testing called "folderName" which contained the following:
Testing
I viewed the page in a browser via http://localhost:8080/Testing and sure enough I saw a page with the phrase "Testing" correctly displayed. I then created a Folder within Testing called "SubTest". In SubTest, I defined one DTML method called "folderName" Inside of this method I put the contents:
SubTest
I then displayed the page via http://localhost:8080/Testing/SubTest and was confused when the screen still displayed the phrase "Testing" instead of "SubTest". It's probably my Smalltalk bias, but I was expecting that the system would look up the tree from SubTest until it found an index_html that it could display. Having found that, it would see that it needed to execute the method "folderName". Since the object being displayed was SubTest, I assumed that it would try to find the "folderName" method starting in SubTest. Having found it, it would use the result from that method for display. However, this is not what happened. Where did I go wrong? I was under the impression that I could factor common behavior up the tree and only implement distinct behavior at lower levels. Did I just do something wrong? Is there a way to accomplish what I want to accomplish?
