register will look in internal for objects, but only if it can't find them first in the mysite (root) object. Read Jim's acquisition algebra texts:

So we have:

mysite/

standard_html_header register

internal/

standard_html_header

and you are calling mysite.internal.register, which in turn tries to call mysite.internal.register.standard_html_header. mysite.internal.register is, in Jim's algebra: ((register o mysite) o (internal o mysite)), so when register tries to call standard_html_header, it will go from left to right through this list, and will find mysite.standard_html_header first.

I'll go back and read Jims algebra.. sounds like an eminently logical way of keeping things in order. (o8 However, there are some problems with what you say. If it's using /standard_html_header, then why did things change (not exactly for the better, but changed) when i started messing with /internal/standard_html_header ?

If this worries you about your view of Zope, you're about to reach your next level of Zope Zen. =)

Oh, goodie! Do I get a badge for this one? (o8

The first 3 lines let us know that we are _inside_ an object called standard_html_header. In your case this will be the on in the root Folder of your site, I suspect.

Well, yeh. From reading the traceback, I thought the problem was in standard_html_header, too. So, first I tried to establish WHICH.

What actually goes wrong I don't know. It _probably_ goes wrong inside the rendering of this object, but this is masked, I think, by the fact that the next step on the stack is in render_blocks, which is implemented in C.

Well, what still gets me is it complaining of the wrong number of parameters... how can this be? I think if we can work that out, we'll be a step closer to heaven. Have a better one, Curtis.
