DTMLFiles are supposed to function as *methods* of their classes;
methods *don't* have their own 'absolute_url', but return the url
of the object on which they are called.  DTMLMethods have exactly
the same semantics:

  

returns the folder/context object's URL, by design.

Maybe we overlooked it. Make your case in a Collector issue, I'd say.

"absolute_url" is provided by the class "OFS.Traverable".
Apparently, "DTMLFile" is not derived from it.

I would use "restrictedTraverse" instead of "REQUEST.traverse"
as it uses less magic.

Why not?

This would mean that either your product is not derived
from ExtensionClass.Base or that "HTMLFile" is not derived
from "Acquisition.Implicit".

[Zope-dev] How do I call an HTMLFile in context provided by a path?

2001-04-11 Thread Itai Tavor 

Hi,

I have a method that receives a path: 
'/MyApp/SomeSpecialist/some_id/edit_html'  and has to call edit_html 
in the context of some_id. If edit_html is a DTML Method, I can do 
this:

 obj = REQUEST.traverse(path)
 return obj(obj.aq_parent, REQUEST)

But when edit_html is an HTMLFile in a Python Product, obj.aq_parent 
doesn't work. And trying to get some_id using 
REQUEST.traverse('/MyApp/SomeSpecialist/some_id') returns the 
index_html method of some_id, instead of the object itself.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

TIA, Itai
