[Zope-CMF] Plone + zpt + python scripts: need help

[Juan Pablo Romero]

Hi

I think that the problem is this:

Zope decides what to do with a given file based on the file's type; If
you want tal expressions to be executed in a file, then the file needs
to be of appropiated type (page template).

When you add a document within plone, the document's type is not a page
template, but something else (plone specific). Thats why tal statements
doesn't get executed when you view the object.

If you want a page template that have the plone look, you'll have to use
the appropiated macros. In plone 1.0 alpha 2, when you add a plone site,
look for index_html. I think you could base your page template in that
file.
