Calling a page template from a DTML document
Is there any way of getting a DTML document to use a page template to build part of a page? Some sample code would be handy as an illustration if what I want to do is possible. -- John

Just call it exactly like you might do with, well, anything else:: <dtml-var somepatetemplate> Did you try this? --jcc -- "Building Websites with Plone" http://plonebook.packtpub.com/

Not until you suggested it. I'm a bit of a slow learner, and there is so much to learn... Next I have to figure out how to pass parameters to the template.

By passing parameters as keyword argument to the template and accessing them within the template through the 'options' namespace (as documented in the Zope Book) or by taking the parameters from the REQUEST (everything's in the Zope Book). -aj

Read the other answer to your question... Andreas -- You'll be called to a post requiring ability in handling groups of people.

Sure: it calls the template.

Assume "template" is a template acquirable from the DTML objects context. Then <dtml-var template> will render "template". When you want to pass arguments to "template", this looks like <dtml-var expr="template(a1, a2, ..., kw1=v1, kw2=... )"> The arguments are available in "template" via the predefined variable "options". The Zope Book tells you more... As you (hopefully) see: you use page templates in DTML like any other (callable) object. -- Dieter
