Right. My bad. However, that didn't work either :( The error was it couldn't find 'var'. So I tried 'item'. It couldn't find 'item'. So I tried this code: <td tal:define="number repeat/item/number" tal:content="number">1</td>

and it complained that it couldn't find 'number'.

*Please* don't throw snippets without further context at us. We need some reasonable context information about the code around..if you do expect help then please provide some more accurate informations...most of us have little to think about what your real problem might be. -aj

The traceback tells you (kept part) that the "KeyError: 'number'" comes from "here/?number/macros/author" and it is right: Unless you use "global", variables defined in TAL only live within the element (aka "tag") you have defined them in. In your special case, this is the "td" element. It it not defined in the following "td"s. A common approach is to use artificial "block" elements to carry the definitions for some elements in the loop body -- similar to <tr tal:repeat="..."> <tal:block define="number ..."> <td tal:content="number" /> ... <td><tal:content metal:use-macro="here/?number/..." /></td> ... </tal:block> </tr> Apparently, you already use "tal" prefixed tag names. The "tal:block" is another standard use... Another advice: carefully read the PageTemplate section in the Zope Book (2.7 edition, on "plope.org"). -- Dieter

This one is a bit more difficult: you need to look at the source code to find out what goes wrong. The traceback again tells you that the problem is with "here/?number/macros/author". Moreover, it tells you that the exception is raised in line 107 of "Module Products.PageTemplates.Expressions". The code, you see there is "path[i:i+1] = list(val)". I see from this code (it is okay when you do not yet see it), that "list(val)" is the problem. You must now look a bit around and take names seriously. The code aroung is: if self._dp: path = list(path) # Copy! for i, varname in self._dp: val = vars[varname] if isinstance(val, StringType): path[i] = val else: # If the value isn't a string, assume it's a sequence # of path names. path[i:i+1] = list(val) This loop is responsible to replace the "?varname" occurrencies in your path by the value of the variable "varname". As you see, the value may either be a string or a sequence of paths. In your case, it is an integer and "list(<some_integer>)" results in the "TypeError" you observe. Add "number python:`number`" after your definition of "number", i.e. <tal:block define="number repeat/item/number; number python:`number`"> I removed the "global" (as you no longer need it due to the introduction of "tal:block"). The "`...`" is a Python operator equivalent to a call to "repr(...)" which converts into a string. -- Dieter
