James,
Thanks for the help. Unfortunately your suggestion did not work, i got
a NameError on "sayHellos" (which is a property of the RandomGreeting
folder.)
I managed to get it to work by two other ways.
dtml-with RandomGreeting
dtml-var Greet
/dtml-with
and
dtml-var "RandomGreeting.Greet(RandomGreeting)"
I'm just beginning to understand the first way, however, I'm still
scratching
my head about how the second way works...
thanks again for the help,
teep

You can also do the following:
dtml-var "RandomGreeting.Greet(_.None, _)"

Sorry if you happen to see this for the third time, I have been
trying
to post this on egroups, but have failed on several occasions.
Hi,
Zope newbie here, a bit lost on namespaces...
I have created a folder in the zope root called "RandomGreeting".
Inside this folder, there is one DTML METHOD called "Greet". "Greet"
contains the following line:
pdtml-var expr="_.whrandom.choice(sayHellos)"/p
"sayHellos" is a property of the "RandomGreeting" folder, and
contains 4 lines which are various ways to say
hello : "Ola","Hi","Bonjour","Sawasdi". The purpose of this method
is to print out a random greeting.
Everytime i click "View" for this DTML Method, i get a random hello.
Fine, that is exactly what I want.
The problem is that I am trying to use this "method" from its parent
folder (the root folder as a matter of fact). I have inserted the
following bit into the top level "index_html" DTML Method of my Zope
root near the begining, so that it produces a random hello on the
front page everytime someone accesses it.
I have tried :
dtml-var RandomGreeting.Greet
dtml-var RandomGreeting.Greet()
dtml-var "RandomGreeting.Greet()"
dtml-var /RandomGreeting/Greet
all of these, to know avail. I am getting either a NameError or
KeyError. I am pretty sure I'm missing a simple concept here. It is
possible to call functions from child objects is it not?
Please help with some enlightenment. Many thanks in advance.
teep
