[Zope] PageTemplate API Question

[Doyon, Jean-Francois]

*slaps forehead*

Looks like the *parent* of the page template is the object!

Or I can also do pt_getContext() and get that TAL/TALES context, which
has all the goodies I want.

A good night sleep is all I needed :)

Thanks for the help!

Well I just looked at "Using Zope Page Templates" and "Advanced Page
Templates" and "Appendix C", and although "context" is mentionned many
times (And I of course knew about that one!) it's all in the context of
TAL/TALES, which is a different beast than a code level FSPageTemplate
instance.

My FSPageTemplate instance doesn't seem to have a "context"
attribute/property or method.  I've dir()'ed it, but don't see anything
that jumps out at me as being useful for what I'm trying to do.

Thanks,
J.F.

You might read my first reply carefully :-) I told you about the
'context' object as it is present within your ZPT.
The 'context' object *IS* the object you are talking about.

(for further details -> The Zope Book with its three ZPT chapters)
