There was a discussion in January about this on the Zope-Dev list. search for: "Passing arguments to DTML methods" and back in 2000 on the Zope list: search for "How to pass values to a DTML method" there are searchable lists at: http://zope.nipltd.com/ The short of it is: """ copied from one of the messages try something like: <dtml-var "method_name(_.None, _, param=value)"> or: <dtml-var "method_name(_.None, _, arg1=value1, arg2=value2)"> for a longer expose see the faq: http://zdp.zope.org/projects/zfaq/faq/DTML/955111628 """ Is this what you guys are looking for? david On 6/6/01, Tom enlightened me with:

I find that this works..... <dtml-var "methodname(param='value')">

But My question is.. How do I use multiple namespaces(I think that is how you say it)?

When I pass a parameter to a method like this:- <dtml-var "methodname(param='value')"> I find that methodname nolonger has access to the full namespace, only those params passed to it. How do I continue to access all the other variables?

On 6/6/01, Tom enlightened me with:

Thanks for the reply, but this still does not work.

I am calling a method in another folder and I want that method to access the contents of the folder it is in.

None of these options seem to work for me.

See my other reply for more detail.

see MY other reply for more detail. :) i'm pretty sure this is what you're looking for...

Thanks Tom
