hi,

your error is in the dtml-with... myid is a string and not an object:

...

<dtml-call "manage_addFolder(myid, mytitle)">

<dtml-with myid>

so try something like this to get the object with id=myid:

<dtml-with "_.getattr(this(),myid)">

-maik

Thanks but I seem to be getting an attribute error __getslice__ when I try to do this: <dtml-let dictionaryvar="filescript(REQUEST)"> <dtml-if "not dictionaryvar.has_key('file')"> <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('fileform?nofile=1')"> <dtml-else> <dtml-let mytitle="dictionaryvar['title']" body="dictionaryvar['body']" myid="dictionaryvar['fid']" > <dtml-with "ContentHolder.createInObjectManager(myid,REQUEST)"> <dtml-call "propertysheets.general.manage_changeProperties(title=mytitle)"> <dtml-with "_.getattr(this(),myid)"> <dtml-call "manage_addProduct['PageTemplates'].manage_addPageTemplate('contents_html', mytitle, body)"> <dtml-call "manage_addFolder('img','my images')"> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> </dtml-let> </dtml-if> </dtml-let> and following Chris Withers advice and using a python script: theDict = context.filescript(context.REQUEST) mytitle = theDict['title'] body = theDict['body'] myid = theDict['fid'] dispatcher = context.manage_addProduct['ContentHolder'] dispatcher.manage_addContentHolder(myid,mytitle) myproduct=context[myid] myproduct.manage_addProduct['PageTemplates'].manage_addPageTemplate('index_html',mytitle,body) I get an attribute error Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: manage_addContentHolder I know that it would be better to do a product that using zclasses and that is our next step but I would like to be able to get this working before I tackle that big step... TIA Marie
