Hi,

I've just got a quick question on acquisition...

In my root folder, I have my index_html which contains, amongst other things:

<td colspan="2"> <dtml-var contentPanel> </td>

In the root folder, I have another DTML method called contentPanel, which is correctly displayed when I view the root folder.

Now, under the root folder, I have the following folder structure: / `SiteUsers/ `Dan/

SiteUsers is empty, except for Dan; Dan contains a single DTML Method called contentPane.

When I view localhost:8080/SiteUsers/Dan/ I would expect the contentPane from SiteUsers/Dan to be displayed (ie. index_html is being acquired by the Dan folder, but since there is a contentPanel in the Dan folder, that should 'override' the one in the root folder). However, I am getting the contentPane from the root folder. This is a namespace issue - how do I force Zope to use the correct namespace? My understanding was that all name resolution started at the place specified from the URL, and then worked back 'up' the tree... My experience here shows this is true, but the search URL always 'starts' from the object 'doing' the acquisition (index_html in this case) - hence the contentPane in Dan/ isn't being used.

How should I solve this?

Many thanks, Dan

I suspect index_html in the root is a DTML document. Try making it a DTML method. Documents alway execute in the context of their container, methods in the context of their caller. hth, -- | Casey Duncan | Kaivo, Inc. | cduncan@kaivo.com `------------------>
