I'm trying to automatically extract the property names, types and default values from the propertysheet of a class. I'm being foiled by the following bit of strangeness. Consider the following snippet of DTML: <dtml-in "propertyIds()"> <dtml-let pid="_['sequence-item']"> <dtml-var pid> <dtml-var "getProperty(pid)"> <dtml-var "getPropertyType(pid)"><br> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> When run in a "normal" location (ie., outside of the Products hierarchy), it acts as expected giving a list of properties, values *and* their type. E.g., title Zope string selectionChoices ['selection1', 'selection2'] lines date_prop 2000/01/01 date However, wrapped in a <dtml-with "Control_Panel.Products.TestProduct.TestClass.propertysheets.common.properti es"> </dtml-with>, I'm getting the name and value, but not the type, viz. p_string test_string None p_date 2000/01/01 None p_boolean on None p_float 3.1415 None p_int 10023 None p_lines ['line1', 'line2', 'line3'] None p_text this is a test entry of a text box. None p_tokens ['token1,token2,token3'] None p_selection None p_multi_selection None Any ideas? Cheers, Darran.
