That message probably means there is a syntax error. If you select your product in the control panel, it will show you the details. As for using the DTML document, you will need to call it at the end of your function: return self.vote_results(self, self.REQUEST) -Randy -----Original Message----- From: Keith Alperin [mailto:KAlperin@ignitemedia.com] Sent: Monday, February 26, 2001 5:51 PM To: Zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] DTML documents as properties of python product classes Greetings Zope folks. I am a bit of a newbie here and am attempting to use a DTML document as a property of a class of a python product. To do so, I have done the following (using the TutorialPoll as my example): #...snip vote_results = Globals.HTMLFile("vote_results", globals()) def castVote(self, choice): "Votes for a choice" vote_count = self.getVotesFor(choice) self._votes[choice] = vote_count + 1 return self.vote_results #the rest of my class Upon restarting Zope, I get "(This object from the TutorialPoll product is broken!)" next to my object in the management interface. Any incite that any of you can provide would be most appreciated. Thanks so much, Keith R. Alperin
