Hello, Zopistas, I just had a (for me) fantastic enlightenment, and I wanted you to participate. Long time ago, I (like so many other people here around) wondered whether it was possible to nest properties. I never solved the problem. Now, I had the same problem again, and I found a very simple solution: Say, we have two properties, prop1 and prop2, and I want to refer to either of those two props in a document. I want to determine to which I want to refer in a property of my document. So I simply create a document property myDocProp (string) and give it the value either prop1 or prop2. And here's the key: Instead of referring to myDocProp by <dtml-var myDocProp> do a simple <dtml-var "_.getitem(myDocProp)">. The only thing I still couldn't find out was how to put constant values in the property myDocProp. I tried 'my constant value' and some other things, didn't work. One non-optimal possibility could be to create a second doc prop, which carries the static value and then refer to that second doc prop from the first one. Perhaps somebody has a better idea? I would be happy about some feedback - perhaps this topic is even worth a mini how-to? Hope, I could help the community, and sorry, if that wasn't new anyway to some of you, but I thought it could be useful to a few people, 'cause I still remember how long I was looking for the solution for that simple problem... -- Lars Heber, mailto:Lars.Heber@t-systems.de T-Systems, debis Systemhaus GEI GmbH, Geschaeftsstelle Sachsen
