[Zope] I Got the Concatenation Blues

[Joachim Werner]

Hi!

I guess Ben solved his problem the easier way (without the method involved).
But still I'd like to comment on this for the record:

I have created a Python method

Not quite. "<dtml-var "concatFrame(title_or_id())">" will pass the
title_or_id as string, which is good. Then it will add "_frame" to the
string and then display the STRING ... ;-)

> <dtml-var "_[concatFrame(title_or_id())]">

Correct ...
