I realize this reply is 3 weeks late, but I'm +still_ not caught up on the zope lists after my vacation - in fact, I don't think I'm making headway, just barely staying even! Anyway, since noone else has answered Benjamin's question, I thought I'd quote Phillip J. Eby:

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, [the DTML method you are calling] will not have access to any variables [or methods] other than 'title' and 'body', period.

If I call <!--#var "folderB.DTMLMethod2"--> in DTMLMethod1, I get the HTML quoted contents of DTMLMethod2. I'd like to have the DTMLMethod2 called instead.

Is that a direct copy/paste from your page? Try including the () after the method:

<!--#var "folderB.DTMLMethod2()"-->

to actually call it.

Yes, you're right. I get a NameError, however. DTMLMethod2 seems unable to find the date_list() method, though it works when called directly from folderB (as in the folderB/DTMLMetho2 url).
