[Zope] DTML Newbie: Using variable as an object in path?

[Kevin Carlson]

You could accomplish the first by using:

  <dtml-with "a_folder_name[the_variable_name]">
    --Note it says "the_variable_name" and not "the_variable_value"

Another way to set a variable within the current DTML is to use <dtml-let>.

Hope that helps,

Kevin

Subject: [Zope] DTML Newbie: Using variable as an object in path?


I'd like to set a variable in a DTML document, then call another DTML 
doc and use that variable as part of an object path:, eg:

<dtml-with  a_folder_name.the_variable_value>

so I can use different objects (files) by passing the filename in the 
variable.

How can I do this?

Also, is the correct way to set a DTML variable to use  dtml-call 
REQUEST.set  or is there another way?

Thanks in advance,
 Patrick Price
