I have been chasing my tail on this one for the better part of two hours now. Time to ask for help.

My goal:

I want to load a page whose URL looks like "day1.html" where the number in the name of the page changes.

I have written a Python script called pagetoget which calculates the day number correctly and assembles the URL as a string, which it returns. This seems to work.

---- what you can try: <dtml-var "_.getitem(pagetoget)">

Thanks very much for your quick responses! This produces an AttributeError, with an ErrorValue: _hash_.

checkout dieter's chap3 in his book available on the net (search the archive for the url)

to redirect, you can do this <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(pagetoget)">

As this is given, it produces a Site Error because Zope is looking for the URL of the Python script. I get "can't find resource '/PythonScript%20instance....' on the error page. Perhaps I need my Python script to be an external method? Right now, it isn't. FWIW, the Python script (name=pagetoget), simplified so you can see what I'm trying to do more clearly, is simple: daynum=1 #in the real script, this is a calculation but I've elimianted it return 'http://www.mysite.com/fuzz'+daynum+'.html' I'm pretty sure this returns a string that at least looks like a URL because if I just use: <dtml-var pagetoget> I get a page with the URL I expect to see (http://www.mysite.com/fuzz1.html) displayed.

Thanks. That's an easy rule to remember!

rule #69 states : if in " ", you're in python realm.

Ditto.
