That's exactly what I have, DTML code in a text file. It's been generated by python and contains "<dtml-XXX ???>" tags. I want read and execute the text file in Zope. The reason the above file resides on the local file system rather than within Zope is a design choice. I felt it would make life easier for us in certain respects. I may have been wrong.
When I use - <dtml-var "_[routine]">
I get the following error -
Exception Type TypeError Exception Value expected string or Unicode object, ImplicitAcquirerWrapper found
Python/Zope error messages are not to bad. It is worth to read them carefully: The above tells you that at place where a string was expected an ImplicitAcquirerWrapper" was found. It is almost always safe to translate "ImplicitAcquirerWrapper" to "Zope Object". Looking at your code, only the "routine" variable can be responsible for this behaviour and indeed the argument of "_[...]" must be a string and is (apparently) an object (probably a file object). Now to your special problem: rendering DTML code from a text file. * Why do you put DTML code in a text file? You should use DTML objects to store DTML code and not text files * When you really need a text file, you must convert their content to a DTML object and then render that. -- Dieter
