Hi folks, When reading zope examples I came accross a lot of calls to document templates, which use "_.None" as the first parameter.
From the docs I understand that the first parameter should usually be the containing object, i. e., for a dtml method the folder it is found in. I'd expect the latter to work for me. But whatever I do I end up with some ununerstandable error message.
The problem: I have a folder hirarchy like that: common/Contacts docs Within the "common/Contacts" there are some DTML documents, one for each person. Those documents have properties like "surname" etc. There is also a dtml method "asOptions" like that: <dtml-in "objectValues('DTML Document')"> <option value="<dtml-var id
"><dtml-var firstname> <dtml-var surname </option> </dtml-in>
I tried to call that DTML method from within the "docs" folder, but the result I see is quite not what I want. I did: <selection name="xyz"> <dtml-call "common.Contacts.asOptions(_.None, _, REQUEST)"> </selection> This way no options at all are found. I also tried to modify the first parameter as "_", "common/Contacts" with errors like "KeyError: headers" and authorization faliure. Any help appreciated. Thanks a lot /Jerry -- You can have it done fast, you can have it done cheap, and you can have it done well. --- But you can only have two of those at once.
