hi! i have a very simple problem: i have a dtml method called reg which should finalize a registration ... so i would like to have such urls: http://some.site.com/reg/b6ac3fe9 if reg is a dtml method, then entering this url gives me a not found error ... ok cool . lets do a python script, and traverse_subpath. subpath doesnt exist (but its binded!!) so lets use traverse_subpath ... but now i am in a python script, i dont want to output html from here, i just want to check a row in the database! (outputting html gives me nice < stuff - this is great too!) i searched for traverse_subpath, and didnt find something of use. just a traversable dtml document product. ARGH! please! i dont want to install products or make some magic with python scripts interacting with dtml! i started using zope because of its simplicity, i dont know why isnt there a simple way of doing this?? or perhaps there is but i cannot find it? i am very desperated :) all i need is a <dtml-if> checking against the part after 'reg' .. (b6ac3fe9 here) ... i dont want python scripts for a single if ... why do you zope developers think that traverse_subpath should be used in a pythn script only? how can i achieve the same in dtml? why isnt http://something/reg/foo/bar working as dtml, but is working as a python script? zope is cool, i love smoking too, but sometimes it can be so hairy ... damn .. :) thanks, -jonatan.
