In a DTML document called "authors" I have this situation:

<!--#var "sixfield_page(title='Authors and their works', body=authors_body())"-->

six_fieldpage is a DTML method which uses two parameters, title and body and returns an entire HTML page. authors_body is a DTML method in the same folder and looks like this:

Change your call to:

<!--#var "sixfield_page(_.None,_,title='Authors and their works', body=authors_body())"-->

When you call a DTML method in an expression from DTML, you must pass "_.None,_" as the first two parameters if you want the current namespace to pass through. Otherwise, sixfield_page will not have access to any variables other than 'title' and 'body', period.

Well, what I actually wanted to do was: <!--#var "sixfield_page(title='Authors and their works', body=authors_body(_.None,_))"--> but otherwise it worked like a charm. Thanks a bundle! Zope rocks!

I believe there's some more detail on how this works in the DTML reference manual.

Well, not in "The expr attribute" section. Possibly elsewhere. Anders "Quest" Qvist NetGuide Scandinavia -- Why suffer scarcity? Look for the Open Source and enter a world of plenty!
