My knowledge of DTML may be a bit rusty, but from what I see, the rendering of 'manage_options' is trying to execute this: URL[-(_.len(action)):]==action or URL[-17:]=='/manage_workspace' and _['sequence-start']) which, since it is in DTML, calls careful_getslice. At line 174[1], careful_getslice executes this: v=seq[indexes[0]:] where seq is the sequence it is trying to slice. In our case, I bet that seq is the URL from above. It looks to me like the URL above is not a string, or at least doesn't have a __get_slice__ method. Unfortunately, I don't know why this would be the case... One thing that might help: create a dtml method in a folder above this one with this one line in it: <dtml-var REQUEST> Then visit http://server/folderparent/foldernotworking/dtmlrequest and see what it tells you. Is URL a string (I hope so...) Troy [1] http://cvs.zope.org/*checkout*/Zope2/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py?... Bill Seitz wrote:

I thought maybe the problem below was related to running zope 2.3.2. But experimenting on my laptop with v2.5.1 doesn't seem to help, either. This makes it impossible to change object properties, etc.

------

I get this when I try to view a particular folder through the ZMI.

I suspect I have too many items in the folder.

I'm running zope 2.3.2, and don't want to change right now (until I make some zwiki code changes).

Is there a workaround? Or a hack to add/copy a DTML document into the folder?
