[Zope] dtml acquisition

[Andrew Altepeter]

Hello All,

I'm fairly  new to zope, so please bear with me on this question.

I have a file, buried in:

/site/dir1/file1.html

This file calls a python script located in:

/site/ssi/choose_template

Which then calls:

/site/ssi/dir1/template_section_x(param1, param2, etc..)

With a few parameters.

If template_section_x is a python script, or a page template, zope
acquisition works, and accessing the parameters works.

However, if template_section_x is either a dtml document or method,
acquisition does NOT work, neither does accessing those parameters.

I have tried '<dtml-var choose_template>' to recursively load another
template section, and zope complains that it can't find the object.

I have also tried '<dtml-var param1>' to access the parameters, and
again zope complains that it doesn't know what I'm talking about.

I am convinced that this is some sort of acquisition problem, because if
I call: /site/ssi/dir1/template_section_x directory from the web, the
acquisition of /site/ssi/choose_template works just fine.

Do you have any suggestions about what I should try next, or an
explanation of why this isn't working?

Thanks in advance for the help,
Andy
