What is the difference between a DTML document and a DTML method? Seems to me a method should not be surfable but they are.

Is it possible to change my documents to DTML documents? Even just for housekeeping.

Micheal answered these perfectly.

One other unrelated question: What is a Principia Draft?

It is a special use of the session object, but it appears to be partially broken. When you create a Principia Draft, it asks you to specify an orginal object, from the same Folder you are creating the Draft in. This will be your 'draft', on which you can make changes invisible to the outside world. The draft contains an invisible Session object that is immediatly started and joined, and an invisible UserFolder to facilitate extra users (for example, customers that want to be able to view your work on it as well, but have no access to it otherwise). The Principia Draft suffers two problems however. The first is really a Session object bug, in that security for Session objects is broken. This has allready been reported as a bug to the Collector by me. The second problem is that the Userfolder and Session controls are inaccessible via the management screens. The latter problem is caused by convention changes in the Folder object (or the ObjectManager class really, used by Folder. I think that Folder objects _used_ to call title_and_id on a object when displaying it in it's management screen, but the current release of Zope constructs the id and title of an object by using it's id and title separetly. Principia Drafts made use of the call to title_and_id to insert links to its UserFolder and Session controls. As this now doesn't happen anymore, you will have to do this yourself. As long as you have access to Session objects, you can change users on a Principia Draft object by calling it's users__draft__.manage_main method, and reach the Session controls by calling its manage_approve__draft__ method. The URLS are: http://yoursever.com/Zope/Draft/users__draft__/manage_main and http://yoursever.com/Zope/Draft/manage_approve__draft__ Martijn Ps. Martijn, I am CCing to you for use in the FAQ.
