dtml-in will accept four differen formats: a list of objects with
attributes, a list of values, a list of dicts, or a list of pairs.
A list of objects is the most common case, and you get access to the
attributes by name inside the loop. A list of values can only
be accessed using , which gives you access
to each item in the list in turn. For a list of dicts you want
to specify the 'mapping' keyword on dtml-in, in which case the
keys of each dict can be used in dtml-var statements. I'm not
100% sure what the list of pairs does, but I think one of the
two items in the pair goes into sequence-key and the other into
sequence-item.

If you make the right security declarations you can probably access
a class variable from dtml. What might be easier, though, is to
use the binding feature of DTMLFile to make the list available
when the method is called, via pre-declaration in your Product:
[code that defines your class, including the class variable listOfMethods]
yourAddMethod = DTMLFile('dtml/addForm',globals(),
listOfMethod = yourclass.listOfMethods)
I'm not 100% sure this is going to solve your problem, but I've some
some stuff along these lines successfully, so it might.

Re: [Zope-dev] Newbie: manage_add DTML access to product variables
Yes, I did. It does not authenticate using the method I need. The LDAP server is not under my administrative control and I cannot add any additional fields for LDAPUserFolder's use. Since I would have to write my own auth routine anyway, I thought that exUserFolder would be a better platform to use.

[Zope-dev] Newbie: manage_add DTML access to product variables
I'm fairly new to Zope and Python, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question. I'm trying to add a new exUserFolder authentication plugin using LDAP. I've copied the Radius plugin for the most part and have almost everything working except I wanted to have a list of possible methods (ways of using the LDAP database to authenticate a user) that the Zope Admin chooses from on the manage_add DTML page. I can't figure out how to keep the list in the python code for the object where it would be easy to update when I add new methods, but still access the list in my manage_add DTML page in a loop. When the manage_add DTML is rendered, my object does not yet exist (the admin's response to the manage_add page is passed to a python function that actually creates the object). I have two questions, then. 1. How do I format an object to use in a loop? (I'm thinking it needs to be a list of dict's). 2. How do I access a function or variable in a Product's python code directly from DTML (or how do I add a callable method in Zope's DTML namespace from a Product's python code?) I think my major problem here is lack of understanding of how Products are accesible within the DTML namespace.
