Hi, i'm trying to embed a dtml document in a child folder with a dtml method, like this: - I have a class wich defines the property "DocBase" - I have a dtml document called "DocTest1" in folder "Docs" - I set the "DocBase" to "Docs.DocTest1"

Now, I need to call the contents of the document pointed by "DocBase" from a method. No hardcoding besides the name of the class and the name of the property... Several aproaches have been tried, with no luck :(

I'm not sure I'm entirely understanding the problem you are trying to solve, but I just tested the code below and perhaps it will at least point you in a useful direction. My test setup is a folder named 'testfolder' within which is a dtml document named 'testdoc'. The parent folder has a dtml method named 'test' containing the code below, and a property named 'testprop' containing the string 'testfolder.testdoc'. I think this code should work no mater where the dtml-method and the property are located, ie: they should work if defined on a class, but I haven't tested that. Here's the code: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('o',PARENTS[-1])"> <dtml-in "_.string.split(testprop,'.')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('o',o[_['sequence-item']])"> </dtml-in> <dtml-var o> When I call this method, I see the rendered contents of my 'testdoc'. Note that this code assumes testprop contains a complete path sequence from the root folder (PARENTS[-1]). --RDM
