[Zope] How to make two racks work under one specialist?

[Steve Spicklemire]

Hi Dirksen,

   OK.. the problem was that DataSkinAddons:DummyDataSkin doesn't
allow access to attributes of 'self'. Once I switched to a differnt
ZClass (which is a direct subclass of DataSkin) then everything
was fine again.. ) just for Facade instances:

I'm now using

WITH Deliverables.getItem(self.id) COMPUTE originalObject=RESULT or NOT_FOUND

with 'loaded by accessing attribute' set to 'originalObject'

and

WITH self.originalObject COMPUTE myName=name, myDescription=description, dueDate

then in the FacadeClass index_html:

<dtml-var standard_html_header>
I am a facade! <dtml-var myName>
<hr>
Description:<dtml-var myDescription><br>
<hr>
I'm due: <dtml-var dueDate>

<dtml-var standard_html_footer>

and all is working OK.  What ZClass are you using for your instances?
