I have a site where i want to use the same template for all the pages. Lets say that I have the following structure: index_html: <b> <dtml-var primary_content> </b> <i> <dtml-var secondary_content> </i> I then want to use this template for all my pages. Most of my products will them implement "primary_content()" and "secondary_content()" methods. If a product hasn't implemented one of the methods, it just finds it from somewhere up the aquisition (aq) path So far so good. My problem is that it seems that I have to define "index_html" in every product for this to work. If I just put an "index_html" in the root of my aq path zope will traverse it's way up to it allright, but naturally won't find the objects "primary_content()" and "secondary_content()" methods. So the view is wrong. If I create a simple dtml attribute that looks like: index_html: <dtml-var "aq_parent.index_html(None, _)"> to call the aquired index_html within the current namespace, it doesn't work either. I want to use this type of layout in a site using a lot of products, so putting all the index_html code inside each product is A Bad Thing for many reasons. Has anybody got an idea as to how I can approach this? Perhaps by using Zpt ? Isn't it possible to call the index_html like a function from within the current namespace ?? If so, isn't index_html(None, _) the right way to do it? regards Max M -- "Sorry I would Really Like To Help More On This Project, But Am To Busy Doing Paid Work On A Tight Deadline" Max M
