[Zope] including a dtml method through a variable

[Derek S. Wilson]

Generally, variables return values, and you would just keep the same
variable name and return different values. If you're not wanting to
return values, but return something else, then don't use dtml-var. You'd
want to do an eval or something else.

Thanks,
Derek Wilson

Subject: [Zope] including a dtml method through a variable


With reference to the usual dtml-var to include a dtml-method in another
page. i.e.

<dtml-var page_dtml_widget>

How is it possible to do this dynamically?
Lets say in some pyhton script i execute a line like this:

if a:
  REQUEST.set("widget", "page_dtml_widget1")
else:
  REQUEST.set("widget", "page_dtml_widget2")

Later on in the dtml method, how can i use that variable for a dynamic
include?

<dtml-var widget>...
...Obviously doesnt work, it just prints out the value of the variable.
After much head scratching i still cant get around this. Any suggestions
anyone?
