Greetings,
I am experimenting with my first ZClass. I have inherited from Renderable, and XMLDocument. I have added a few DTML Methods, including a 'render' method.
Testing has been all well and good, with pages displaying predictably when I hit the View tag, but if I hit View in the folder, which contains one of my classes as index_html, it doesn't display correctly.
My class relies on being able to find methods in itself (using _.hasattr() ), but the results are as if it cannot find any. I thought this might be because render is a dtml Method, so I tried it as a DTML Document. Now when trying to view it, it asks for authentication, and denies anyone (even the superuser).
What am I doing wrong? Shouldn't a ZClass member method be able to reference other members in the same ZClass?
And in continuing... If i reference any of the objects of this class explicitly, via an URL, the index_html is rendered correctly, unless it is the index_html i reference, in which case it shows the above problems. There must be something fairly fundamental I'm missing here, surely? -- Have a better one, Curtis. <dtml-var standard_work_disclaimer>
