Dear Zopatistals

I am have one serious problem which I will like you to assist me. I am 
keeping archives which is reference by the users by typing the file name 
into a form displayed on the web. i stored the user input  into a var name 
called date_code.

<input type="text" name="date_code">.

Thereafter in my index_html, i then use
<dtml-var expr="_.getitem(_.string.lower(date_code),1)">
to render the file.

This work perfectly when a user type in the value for the date_code var.

My problem is this.

I have some other links which suppose to use the date_code value which the 
user type to display their contents as well, and i have already stored 
those content in their various folders, but to my surprise when clicked on 
these links this is the error message i got:

Error Type: NameError
Error Value: date_code

Please i need your assistance as soon as posssble.

This is the url of the site :http://www.champion-newspapers.com

click on archive button when a newpage is displayed ignore the instruction 
and press logon button . Another page will be displayed asking you to enter 
the date code, for the purpose of this test type friday_1008_html and click 
view button.

This will display the teaser archive for the news item, there after try to 
click on editorial on the left navi you will then see the error, despite 
the fact that i have the copy of friday_1008_html in the editorial folder.

My impression is that since i have been able to use the date_code to 
display the teaser for the news item i should be able to use for all other 
link items on this page.

thanks for your care.

Hamzat Kamal.
