dtml/namespace problem
Hi. I have always been able to nest dtml methods inside the same folder or calling methods within the acquisition hierarchy (upward) , one calling another, calling another, etc But now I cannot make this same process work when I try it using different levels of folder hierachy (downards): A simple example: / | - testroot (dtml method) | + input (Folder) | -- test1 (dtml method) | -- test2 (dtml method) The contents are the following (all are one-liners): 1) testroot (at the root folder): <dtml-var "input.test1()"> Note: If I try w/o the quotes and parenthesis then it does not recognize 'input.test'. Is this supposed to work like this? 2) test1(at the 'input' folder): <dtml-var test2> Note: I tried to add quotes and parenthesis but it made no difference here. I also tried to fully qualify the variable, making it 'intput.test2' because I thought that maybe it was evaluating it from the perspective of the caller, which is in the root folder. But this did not work either. 3) test2 (at the 'input' folder): <h2>Hello!</h2> I always get an error when calling /testroot . The error and traceback is: Error Type: KeyError Error Value: test2 Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/zope210/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 214, in publish_module File /usr/local/zope210/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 179, in publish File /usr/local/zope210/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 202, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File /usr/local/zope210/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 165, in publish File /usr/local/zope210/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: testroot) File /usr/local/zope210/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 102, in call_object (Object: testroot) File /usr/local/zope210/lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 145, in __call__ (Object: testroot) File /usr/local/zope210/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 502, in __call__ (Object: testroot) File /usr/local/zope210/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py, line 335, in eval (Object: input.test1()) (Info: input) File <string>, line 0, in ?

Where am I wrong?? Thanks. Alan
1) testroot (at the root folder): <dtml-var "input.test1()">
try : <dtml-var "input.test1"> or : <dtml-with input> <dtml-var test1> </dtml-with> Both ought to work...
2) test1(at the 'input' folder): <dtml-var test2> Note: I tried to add quotes and parenthesis but it made no difference here. I also tried to fully qualify the variable, making it 'intput.test2' because I thought that maybe it was evaluating it from the perspective of the caller, which is in the root folder. But this did not work either.
<dtml-var test2> should work here.. It is in test1 the error lies.. I am not even remotely programmer-ish , but AFAIK the () that you used in test1 is used to tell python to evaluate a function or something (please correct me if i am wrong) , which is not what you want.. I
Geir, I tried what you said and now I get: <dtml-var test2> when I use <dtml-var "input.test1"> and <dtml-var test2> if I try to fix it using <dtml-var "input.test1" html_quote> instead! Well, it got better... but is still far from working as expected (which is to display "Hello!"). Any hint?

Geir,
I tried what you said and now I get:
<dtml-var test2>
when I use <dtml-var "input.test1">
and
<dtml-var test2>
if I try to fix it using <dtml-var "input.test1" html_quote> instead!
Well, it got better... but is still far from working as expected (which is to display "Hello!").
Any hint?
I tried to reproduce it, and : ----------------------------- <dtml-with input> <dtml-var test1> </dtml-with> --------------------- worked as expected.. <dtml-var "input.test1"> did, as you said produce : <dtml-var test2> I can not tell you why.. Hopefully someone with a bit of Python knowledge can tell us .. I don't know much python yet, and as soon as i start moving within expressions, i cannot predict the results accurately.. ------------------------------------------------ Geir B Hansen geirh@funcom.com Web-designer / Graphic artist Funcom Oslo http://www.funcom.com ------------------------------------------------
