No problemo! Follow these steps: 1) create folder called "test" 2) select "test" folder 3) click on "Properties" tab 4) at the bottom of the Properties screen, create a variable: Name: tequila Value: mezcal 5) create a document in the test folder called "test" 6) the content of that document should look like this: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <h2><dtml-var title_or_id></h2> <p> This is the <dtml-var id> Document. </p> <p>My favorite tequila is <dtml-var tequila>.</p> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> See how that works?

If you do not forsee portibility as an issue than using folder properties is surely cool for globals. Its just when you want to update data.fs and your global is say a counter that things do not work out well. I eventually had to move almost everything into a database. For example u could have a table named globals. So ... <dtml-in zSql_globals> <dtml-var Company_name> </dtml-in> David ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mitch Pirtle" <mitchy@spacemonkeylabs.com> To: <rpenatez@lattice.com.co> Cc: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 2:06 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] Global Variable
