[Zope] <dtml-elif> problem

[D. Rick Anderson]

oops... sorry .. let's try that again:

<dtml-if expr="filename[3:6]=='do_')">
     <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('dir', 'do_')">
<dtml-elif expr="filename[3:6]=='aa_'">
     <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('dir', 'aa_')">
<dtml-else>
     <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('dir', 'vth')">
</dtml-if>

There. That looks better. Was in too big of a hurry. The point here is 
that you need to push those variables to REQUEST if you need access to 
them outside the <dtml-if> statements.
