It sounds like you've got the standard_html_footer defined higher up the hierarchy. so the standard_html_footer that several objects inherit will be this one. Probably the easiest work-around, if it's feasible, is to rename this function. Alterntively, if the parent that you want to inherit from is known, you could use <dtml-with parentfoldername><dtml-var standard_html_footer></dtml-wth> to inherit a specific standard_html_footer from this one. Otherwise it could be a little trickier - if you can give a little more detail about what you're doing then we can suggest a solution.

Hi all

I want to have a dtml file <standard_html_footer> that includes the contents of a <standard_html_footer> defined higher in the hierarchy.

I tried

<p> <center><FONT SIZE=+1 COLOR=#FF0000>PRE-RELEASE VERSION</FONT></center> </p>

<dtml-with aq_parent only> <p><dtml-var standard_html_footer></p> </dtml-with>

</body>

</html>

This works in the directory where this dtml-method is, however, I get another 'PRE-RELEASE VERSION' tacked on for every level down I go.

What is the proper way to get around this?

Thanks

-Greg
