Hi there...

I got a little Problem with Zope (d'uh - what else would I wite this mail for ;-) ). I am trying to create a new website on an already existing Zope Server which alread hosts another site. So I created a new Folder (let's call it "bar") on the root Folder of this other server added a SiteRoot Objcet, etc....

Now there is one Problem: this old server defines a property "foo" in its root Folder. By accident I use the same name for an HTML form value. So what happens is that every time I submit this form my REQUEST.form['foo'] is overwritten by the other servers root folder "foo" property because Zope first traverses the ZODB and only then scans the REQUEST object. So if I write <dtml-var foo missing=""> I get the value of root.foo instead of REQUEST.form['foo'].

Now it would be easy to rename my foo attribute but I used it in quite a lot of places, so I this would mean a lot of work. But what I thought about is, if it is possible to somehow tell zope to stop traversal once it reached my the "bar" folder, one level beforereching the root folder. Is there any way to achieve this?

I don't know, but you could push the REQUEST and only the REQUEST onto the namespace stack: <dtml-with REQUEST only> <dtml-var foo missing=""> </dtml-with> ... Holger -- I'm feeling very surreal today... or am I ?
