Dear Zopesters, First off a big thanks. I am a high energy physicist and I was able to put together a interactive FAQ page for our experiment when I needed to do a good job quickly using Zope. Everyone was quite impressed. Now I am playing with Zope 2.0 and ZClasses. There is something I can't figure out that I was hoping someone could give me a pointer on. Basically what I want to do is make a ZClass object for a directory of pictures from a photoCD where each picture has several resolutions. So ideally in my HTML code I would like to have something like this: <!--#var "pcd2082.link(name='naples-small',align='left')"--> where pcd2082 is an instance of my zclass and link is a DTML method which presents a small version of the picture as a link to a larger version. I can't seem to do this though. After searching documentation mailing lists etc I discovered I needed to do this: <!--#var "pcd2082.link(pcd2082,REQUEST,name='naples-small',align='left')"--> In other words I need to tell the function about its name space and mapping. I also know you can do this: <!--#call "REQUEST.set('name','naples-small')"--> <!--#with pcd2082--> <!--#var link--> <!--#/with--> But the reason I am trying to this is I wan't something that looks very simple and straightforward and only takes one line. I don't see why when I call a method of pcd2082 I should need to tell it to use the namespace of pcd2082. Shouldn't that be the default? In c++ lingo a member function of a class knows all about its instance's public data. So stated more succinctly: Is there a way I can call a DTML method of a ZClass instance with arguments without also passing the first two namespace arguments?
