I don't think I've expressed the problem clearly enough. It's not the folder title we need, it's the title/ID of the document/method that includes the header(via "dtml-var standard_header") .
As I stated previously...
DTML-docs are folderish and have their own properties that will be inherited by a method in the namespace
standard_header (a DTML_METHOD) will render the title the calling myDTML_Document. Keep it clean, and only call methods or scripts from a DTML_Doc. A DTML_Document (called by another DTML_Doc) that includes <dtml-var title> will render its own title, not the title of its calling DTML_Doc. This means you can use Docs instead of folders to get a title. try it. My first Zope project, had me converting "most" of my DTML_Docs to DTML_Methods once I understood these rules. NOTE: You can get the ID of the method using the obscure <dtml-var document_id>. If you still need the title of the method, then it should be a DTML_Doc. -Trevor
