SOLVED: [Zope] Problem: Calling DTML Method from ZPT

[Mike Murphy]

The suggestion to add 'request' to the DTML call did the trick!  The
following is what works

<p tal:replace="python:root.games.hangman.index_html(root.games.hangman,
request)"/>

Thanks to all who replied with suggestions--hope this helps someone else.

Mike

(BTW, what probably complicated matters is that my zope is probably not
installed quite right... I think I have a permissions problem somewhere...
it gives me a _v_blocks attribute error when I try to view SQL methods,
etc..)
