Hi there, I have an external function that returns a <dtml-var URL1> amongst a string of other code. Now I would like to have this variable rendered. How can I do that?

Thank you for your time Robert

So what you mean is that an external method returns a string containing DTML code that you want to render? In that case, you would need to create another external method that takes the string, creates a DTML object out of it and execute the object something like: (untested): from OFS.DocumentTemplate.DT_HTML import HTML def execDTML(DTML, namespace=None, **kw): ob = HTML(DTML) return ob(namespace, kw=kw) You would however not want to allow users to execute this directly from the web, or you will open up a big security hole. I would recommend restricting this to be executable by only a manager and use proxy roles on any objects that call it. hth, -- | Casey Duncan | Kaivo, Inc. | cduncan@kaivo.com `------------------>
