Ah, sorry... I'm actually using zPoPy, and, yes, the userpluginposition is actually in the database. I'm doing a dtml-let beforehand, assigning the database result to the plugins var. In terms of results, it simple prints out the name of the file name, rather then including the file onto the page. -Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Penny" <jpenny@universal-fasteners.com> To: "Jason Alexander" <jason-alexander@home.com> Sent: Sunday, July 01, 2001 5:51 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] Variable File Include

Hello all,

I'm attempting to do variable file includes, where the actual file name is held in a column in a database, but I am having a few issues. I'm attempting to do:

<dtml-in plugins> <dtml-if expr="userpluginposition == 3"> <dtml-var pluginfilename> </dtml-if> </dtml-in>

I am assuming that you have userpluginposition as a column of the database.

You haven't said what DA you are working with, but in a few cases, the DA loses type and converst everything to string.

It is safer to do an explicit conversion.

<dtml-in plugins> <dtml-if expr="_.int(userpluginposition) == 3"> <dtml-var pluginfilename> </dtml-if> </dtml-in>

...

But, with no luck.

Is there another way to do? Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! -Jason
