The values are validated and are simple strings. For our testing purpose
they are things like 'aaa'. Also, if that were the problem, eval would
have thrown a different error since it most likely evaluates the
parameters before trying to bind the call. In our testing we have
replaced the catenation with a static string but still get the error.
In your previous message you said:
snip
Simple test methods in folder C
dtml-var standard_html_header
dtml-let sss=scripts.cleanfilename('able baker charlie ')
dtml-var sss
/dtml-let
dtml-var standard_html_footer
work fine and do not throw the attribute error.
/snip
Now you are saying that the static string does cause the error?
To remove the acquisition issue: if you can get the cleanfilename routine
to just return the input parameter (as a test, don't do anything else in
cleanfilename) without error, then that means that you have a coding error
somewhere within cleanfilename.

I have a dtml method is a folder C and a folder setup
/
A
B
C
scripts
In the dtml method, there is a call to a script passing in a composed
string made up of variables passed in through request inside of a
dtml-let,
dtml-let someval=scripts.cleanfilename(cgivar1+'_'+cgivar2)
--- methods that use someval ---
/dtml-let
a pattern we have used in many places without a problem.
In this particular case, Zope throws an error
File string, line 1, in expression
AttributeError: cleanfilename
The failing line is (literally)
dtml-let
sname=scripts.cleanfilename(user_lastname+'_'+user_firstname)
What are the values of cgivar1 and cgivar2 when the error is thrown? (ie.
does the cgivar1+'_'+cgivar2 code evaluate to an illegal string -
possible
if someone enters a name with a character that will kill your code, such
as
o'neil)
