Though less elegant, perhaps this will work: dtmlIndex = DTMLFile('dtml/indexHomepage', globals()) def index_html(self): """ docstring! """ return self.dtmlIndex(self,self.REQUEST) hth, Jim

i am developing a Zope product (2.7) with a "homepage" content type and want this object to display as the index of a folder. for other custom objects, i have display methods that call an index view ( using DTMLFile) of the object like this:

#homepage view index_html = DTMLFile('dtml/indexHomepage', globals())

i want this object to display as the index of the folder without:

folder/index_html/index_html

however, when i render the object, i get:

<Homepage at index_html>

remove display:

http://localhost:8080/www/index_html/index_html has an empty or missing docstring. Objects must have a docstring to be published.

how can i ensure that an "homepage" object with an id of index_html will display as the index of a folder (without calling folder/index_html/index_html)? i hope i explained this coherently...

any insight would be greatly appreciated-

Thanks, Chris
