I've got some SQL method, and a folder structure, and am seeing some *very* annoying results. Namely, <dtml-with> seems to cancel out variable assignments from an enclosing <dtml-in> /root get_machine_hosts (SQL method) get_host_aliases (SQL method) show (dtml method) /host show (dtml method) /alias show (dtml method) get_machine_hosts takes 'machineid' and returns 'name','domain','ip', e.g. (for a 5-homed box) get_machine_hosts('535252'): www,random.com,192.168.3.2 mail,hosting.com,192.168.3.3 news,random.com,192.168.3.4 sqldb,random.com,192.168.3.5 workstation,random.com,192.168.3.6 get_host_aliases takes 'ip' and returns 'name','domain' e.g. get_host_aliases('192.168.3.3') [mail.random.com]: 'pop3','random.com' 'smtp','random.com' 'mail','random.com' 'imap','random.com' But, I'm having problems with the 'in' and 'with' tags using the variable 'name'. The DTML methods are: /root/show <dtml-in get_machine_hosts> <dtml-with host><dtml-var show></dtml-with> </dtml-in> /root/host/show <TR> <TD>&dtml-ip;</TD> <TD>&dtml-name;</TD> <TD>&dtml-domain;</TD> </TR> <dtml-in get_host_aliases> <dtml-comment>POINT A</dtml-with> <dtml-with alias> <dtml-comment>POINT B</dtml-with> <dtml-var show> </dtml-with> </dtml-in> /root/alias/show <TR> <TD></TD> <TD>&dtml-name;</TD> <TD>&dtml-domain;</TD> </TR> Now, assuming I'm looking at machineid 535252 (mail.random.com). I get this: | 192.168.3.3 | mail | hosting.com | | | mail | hosting.com | | | mail | hosting.com | | | mail | hosting.com | | | mail | hosting.com | That is, the variable 'name' and 'domain' aren't set correctly. But, if I modify /root/host/show as follows: <TR> <TD>&dtml-ip;</TD> <TD>&dtml-name;</TD> <TD>&dtml-domain;</TD> </TR> <dtml-in get_host_aliases> <dtml-comment>POINT A</dtml-with> <TR> <TD></TD> <TD>&dtml-name;</TD> <TD>&dtml-name;</TD> </TR> <dtml-with alias> <dtml-comment>POINT B</dtml-with> <dtml-var show> </dtml-with> </dtml-in> I get: | 192.168.3.3 | mail | hosting.com | | | pop3 | random.com | | | mail | hosting.com | | | imap | random.com | | | mail | hosting.com | | | smtp | random.com | | | mail | hosting.com | | | webmail | random.com | | | mail | hosting.com | It would appear that the <dtml-with alias> tag wipes out the 'name' and 'domain' variables back to the values they had outside the <dtml-in get_host_aliases> tag, so calling /root/alias/show gives wrong data. Very odd. *BUT*, if I use 'aliasname' and 'aliasdomain' as the variable names, everything is OK. WTF? While I'm at it, is <dtml-with foldername><dtml-var dtmlmethod></dtml-with> really the best way to call a DTML method of a folder? Regard, Phil
