I believe that it is complaining that it expects to find a </dtml-let> before the <dtml-elif>. if you change the indenting like this: <dtml-let fname="_.string.split(myfile.filename,'\\')[-1]"> <dtml-let filename="_.string.split(fname,'.html')[0]"> <dtml-if expr="filename[3:6]=='do_'"> <dtml-let dir="do_"> <dtml-elif expr="filename[3:6]=='aa_'"> <dtml-let dir="aa_"> <dtml-else> <dtml-let dir="vth"> <dtml-with avc> <dtml-call expr="dir.manage_addDTMLDocument(filename,mytitle)"> </dtml-with> </dtml-let> </dtml-if> notice that I haven't added anything but whitespace. but say that the <dtml-if> resolves to 'TRUE', it enters the <dtml-let> block and the first tag is a <dtml-elif>. Thats the first thing that popped into my head anyhow, I've been wrong before =)> Tom Germaine wrote:

However, the code function ok if dtml-elif and dtml-else lines are omitted.

I cannot understand why and would appreciate any solutions.

Stop right there. <dtml-let> must be closed before you can go into another logical block such as <dtml-elif>. It seems weird, I know, but that's the way it works. Your first instinct might be to get around this problem by duplicating your <dtml-call> code in each part of the if/elif/else. But I wouldn't do that - duplicated code is a sign that there must be a better way. Instead, get rid of the dtml-if entirely and try something like this: (untested) <dtml-with avc> <dtml-call expr="_.addMyDoc(REQUEST, _.getitem('mytitle)')"> </dtml-with> Now write a script (python) called addMyDoc in the same folder as this dtml code. On the parameter list in the management interface, add: REQUEST=None, mytitle="" In the body of the script, write something like this (untested): # note: I'm not sure about mytitle - it's not clear to me # in your code where it comes from. # If it's in the request, then uncomment the next line, and # remove the second parameter from the dtml-call expression: # mytitle = REQUEST['mytitle'] filename = REQUEST['filename'] if filename[3:6] == 'do_': dir = getattr(container, 'do_') elif filename[3:6] == 'aa_': dir = getattr(container, 'aa_') else: dir = getattr(container, 'vth') dir.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addDTMLDocument(mytitle, filename) return "" # end of script. -- Paul Winkler home: http://www.slinkp.com "Muppet Labs, where the future is made - today!"
