Jeremiah, I went through this a week or so ago. You need to use the <dtml-with> statement to get methods in other folders. the "folder.method" construct only works if you dont need the namespace of the other folder. i.e. <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-with Methods> <dtml-var someMethod> </dtml with> <p> That's all. </p> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> in this case you should not have to use _.getitem(someMethod,1) Tom => -----Original Message----- => From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of => Jeremiah White => Sent: Saturday, 23 June 2001 1:30 PM => To: zope@zope.org => Subject: [Zope] More Calling Dtml-Methods with variable names => => => OK, I have a small problem now. => => This is my main DTML document1: => => <dtml-var standard_html_header> => <dtml-var expr="_.getitem(someMethod,1)"> => <p> That's all. </p> => <dtml-var standard_html_footer> => => => Let's say the variable someMethod holds the string 'Method1'. => => The DTML Method 'Method1' holds this: => => <h1> HELLO </h1> => => => This actually outputs what you would expect: => => 'header stuff' => HELLO (bold) => That's all. => 'footer stuff' => => But what if Method1 is not in the same folder? For example, if => it's in the folder 'Methods' which is in the folder that the => main document is in. I can't seem to get that to work. I've tried this: => => <dtml-var expr="_.getitem('Methods.'+someMethod,1)"> => => and I've tried changing the variable name to 'Methods.Method1', => but each of these gives me an error: => => This resource may be trying to reference a nonexistent object or => variable Methods.Method1. => => Using Methods.Method1() does not make a difference. => => If I just put in <dtml-var expr="Methods.Method1()"> it works. => Not what I want though. => => Thanks for you time reading through this message. I'm really => just experimenting with Zope right now, trying to learn what it => can do and how it accomplishes those things. I have a feeling => some experienced Zope users are laughing hysterically at some of => the things I'm doing! => => -Jeremiah => => => => => => => Get more from the Web.
