On Zope 2.3.1 without ParsedXML on Linux RH 7.0 I installed TAL and PageTemplates per instruction. I'm trying to use SimpleWelcome and the master macro. I created a folder named "test" In there I created two page templates, one called Welcome, with the SimpleWelcome text (modified) and the other template is called "master" with the sample master macro. I changed SimpleWelcome to be something like this: <html xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal" xmlns:metal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/metal" metal:use-macro="here/master"> <body> <div metal:fill-slot="main"> <p>Welcome to the machine</p> </div> </body> </html> (also tried "container/master") In both cases I get: <!-- Page Template Diagnostics Macro expansion failed TAL.TALDefs.METALError: macro 'here/master' has incompatible version None, at line 1, column 1 ('/home/bkc/ADKWood/lib/python/TAL/TALInterpreter.py', 384, 'do_useMacro', 'self.position)') ('/home/bkc/ADKWood/lib/python/TAL/TALInterpreter.py', 224, 'interpret', 'apply(method, args)') ('/home/bkc/ADKWood/lib/python/TAL/TALInterpreter.py', 197, '__call__', 'self.interpret(self.program)') ('/home/bkc/ADKWood/lib/python/Products/PageTemplates/PageTemplate.py', 153, 'pt_render', 'tal=not source, strictinsert=0)()') ('/home/bkc/ADKWood/lib/python/Products/PageTemplates/PageTemplate.py', 184, 'read', 'return self.pt_render(source=1)') --> I also tried making Master just a DTML method.. No change. Does "master" have to be a ParsedXML document? I just need a little boost to get started, does anyone have this working on their Zope?
