Eeee, you don't wanna do that! returning document_src will give you the unrendered view of it, something like this will be better: #test if thisWeeklyMain exists doc = getattr(context, 'thisWeeklyMain', None) if doc: # if yes return its content return doc(context,context.REQUEST) else: # other document must exist return getattr(context, 'otherDoc')(context,context.REQUEST) this passes the namespace into the document and also uses context as the container. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Rottermann" <robert@redcor.ch> To: <bill-bell@bill-bell.hamilton.on.ca>; <zope@zope.org> Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 6:44 AM Subject: Re: [Zope] How to insert a DTML doc given its ID as a string?

I would do this in an script. Lets call it "insertIf"

#test if thisWeeklyMain exists doc = getattr(context, 'thisWeeklyMain', None) if doc: # if yes return its content return doc.document_src() else: # other document must exist return getattr(context, 'otherDoc').document_src()

now use this script like this <dtml-var insertIf>

Must be trivial. Can't find answer.

'thisWeeklyMain' is a Python routine that supplies the name of a DTML doc that _might_ exist in the current folder. I'd like to arrange to insert the DTML doc, if it exists, or an alternative doc, if it does not.

Thanks for your help.
