I'm working ona little skinning implementation where I want to pull a folder name out of a database, then navigate to it to get dtml methods.

Hardcoding it is easy, but how exactly would I insert a variable into this simple dtml-with?

<dtml-with skins.default> <dtml-var standard_skin_appearance> </dtml-with>

to get an idea of how the site is layed out, here's where the skins and inside data would live:

www.mysite.com:8080/skins/default/standard_skin_appearance

I tried variations on:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('skinname', 'skins.default')"> <dtml-with "_.string(skinname)">

with no luck

Any suggestions on the proper syntax to do this?

Thanks!

if i understand the Q, you could try #not -tested <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('skinname', 'default')"> <dtml-with skins> <dtml-with "_.getitem(skinname)"> <dtml-var standard_skin_appearance> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> or try it in Script (Python) hth, and hope that i don't propagate misinformation :)
