I'm new to the mailing list so I don't know if this is a new topic, but I couldn't get anything useful from the docs/faqs on the topic. In "authors" I'm trying to do this: <!--#with "_.namespace(heading='Authors and their works', body=authors_body())"--> <!--#var sixfield_page--> <!--#/with--> In "authors_body" I try to do this: <!--#in get_all_authors--> <!--#with "_.namespace(heading=last_name + ', ' + first_name, body=rid)"--> <!--#var sixfield_textblock--> <!--#/with--> <!--#/in--> "sixfield_page" and "sixfield_textblock" uses the data from heading and body to construct HTML pages. get_all_authors is an SQL query. I get the error: Error Type: KeyError Error Value: get_all_authors File /home/quest/dls/Zope-2.0.0a3-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 256, in publish_module File /home/quest/dls/Zope-2.0.0a3-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 161, in publish File /home/quest/dls/Zope-2.0.0a3-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 154, in mapply (Object: authors) File /home/quest/dls/Zope-2.0.0a3-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 98, in call_object (Object: authors) File /home/quest/dls/Zope-2.0.0a3-src/lib/python/OFS/DTMLDocument.py, line 181, in __call__ (Object: authors) File /home/quest/dls/Zope-2.0.0a3-src/lib/python/OFS/DTMLDocument.py, line 177, in __call__ (Object: authors) File /home/quest/dls/Zope-2.0.0a3-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 514, in __call__ (Object: authors) File /home/quest/dls/Zope-2.0.0a3-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_With.py, line 133, in render (Object: _.namespace(title='Authors and their works', body=authors_body())) File /home/quest/dls/Zope-2.0.0a3-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py, line 315, in eval (Object: _.namespace(title='Authors and their works', body=authors_body())) File <string>, line 0, in ?

In case anyone wonders, sixfield_page and sixfield_textblock are the only methods in the whole site that acctually contain any serious amount of HTML. A dozen different pages are generated in a similar manner, just using different queries and texts. Anders "Quest" Qvist NetGuide Scandinavia -- Why suffer scarcity?
