Hi folks, please bear with me for now, I am an all-out Zope/Python newbie and only recently converted from Perl/CGI development ;-) I'm trying to implement a simple page request counter by checking for a property named "requestCount" in a DTML method, adding the property if not found, incrementing it otherwise and returning the new value. I'm using the following python script: from Products.PythonScripts.standard import html_quote request = container.REQUEST RESPONSE = request.RESPONSE o = container.index_html if (o.hasProperty("requestCount")): print "request count property found, incrementing" count = o.getProperty("requestCount") o.manage_changeProperties(requestCount=count+1) return o.getProperty("requestCount") else: print "request count property NOT found, incrementing" o.manage_addProperty("requestCount", 1, "int") return o.getProperty("requestCount") this script lives in the top level of my Zope installation. When I try to get a hit counter by including the script output as a DTML-var like this: <dtml-var incRequestCount> in any subfolder the property of the Zope root folder is incremented (where the Python script lives), but not the container of the current object / container / folder whatever. Say I have two index_html methods in subfolders, each using the <dtml-var incRequestcount> statement, there is only *one* counter associated with those methods instead of two which get incremted separately. Sorry for any confusion, I hope I have made myself clear!
