Hello

Please can someone help us understand how to avoid DTML method names conflicting with other zope objects with same name. ... 2. Below this my DTML file includes calls to this template like this:

<dtml-with Flash4> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('swf','login.swf')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('width','100%')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('height','100%')"> <dtml-var objembedswf> </dtml-with> ... It provokes me to ask simply what is the search path priority of object acquistion in zope and how do you control it safely?

This appears to be a classic aquisition gotcha. You can use the "only" option of the dtml-with tag to eliminate namespace conflicts. However, in this case I might suggest passing the parameters directly to objemedswf instead of using REQUEST. like so: <dtml-var "Flash4.objembedswf(swf='login.swf', width='100%', height='100%')"> This leaves no ambiguity about what is being called, where it is located and what is being passed to it. This creates more readable code IMHO. -Casey Duncan
