Hi,
Zope newbie here, a bit lost on namespaces...
I have created a folder in the zope root called "RandomGreeting".
Inside this folder, there is one DTML METHOD called "Greet". "Greet"
contains the following line:
<p><dtml-var expr="_.whrandom.choice(sayHellos)"></p>
"sayHellos" is a property of the "RandomGreeting" folder, and
contains 4 lines which are various ways to say
hello : "Ola","Hi","Bonjour","Sawasdi". The purpose of this method
is to print out a random greeting.
Everytime i click "View" for this DTML Method, i get a random hello.
Fine, that is exactly what I want.
The problem is that I am trying to use this "method" from its parent
folder (the root folder as a matter of fact). I have inserted the
following bit into the top level "index_html" DTML Method of my Zope
root near the begining, so that it produces a random hello on the
front page everytime someone accesses it.
I have tried :
<dtml-var RandomGreeting.Greet>
<dtml-var RandomGreeting.Greet()>
<dtml-var "RandomGreeting.Greet()">
<dtml-var /RandomGreeting/Greet>
all of these, to know avail. I am getting either a NameError or
KeyError. I am pretty sure I'm missing a simple concept here. It is
possible to call functions from child objects is it not?
Please help with some enlightenment. Many thanks in advance.
