Hopefully that will get someone's attention. I have an SQL method that returns (name,domain,otherstuff) I have a DTML method (/root/host/show) that looks like this: <dtml-comment> 'name' and 'domain' are set to the primary hostname and domain at this point by whatever calls this DTML method POINT A </dtml-comment> <dtml-in "HDB_get_ip_aliases(ip=ip)"> <dtml-comment>POINT B</dtml-comment> <dtml-let name2=name domain2=domain> <dtml-with alias> <dtml-comment>POINT C</dtml-comment> <dtml-with "_.namespace(name=name2,domain=domain2)"> <dtml-comment>POINT D</dtml-comment> <dtml-var show> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> The folder structure is: /root /alias show /host show At the points marked B and D, <dtml-var name> and <dtml-var domain> work fine, but at point B, name and domain have been reset to what they were at point A. Why? This is totally broken - I'm *this* far from downloading the servlet engine and giving up completely. Zope appears to be completely non-intuitive in many respects, and combined with the generally lamentable documentation, is taking up more of my time than I'm willing to spend on a theoretically simple task.
