-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dragos Chirila wrote: Hi everybody, I am stuck with the following problem. I would appreciate it very much if you could help me with it. So I have a ZPT where a macro is defined with several slots; one of the slots like below: tal:block metal:define-slot=slot_issue SLOT DEFAULT CONTENT /tal:block The common way to put other content in the slot is: tal:block metal:fill-slot=slot_issue CUSTOM SLOT CONTENT /tal:block Now, in a ZPT that uses the above marco I want to replace the default slot content with other stuff *only* if a condition is fulfilled: tal:block tal:condition=condition-code metal:fill-slot=slot_issue CUSTOM SLOT CONTENT /tal:block If the condition-code returns True then the CUSTOM SLOT CONTENT is put instead of the default slot content - correct. If the condition-code returns False then nothing will be displayed - this is not correct?!. I also tried somthing like: tal:block tal:condition=condition-code tal:block metal:fill-slot=slot_issue CUSTOM SLOT CONTENT /tal:block /tal:block In this case the content of the slot is CUSTOM SLOT CONTENT in both cases - the result is True or False. The only solution that I can think of is not elegant at all because I have to duplicate the slot_issue's default content: tal:block metal:fill-slot=slot_issue tal:block tal:condition=condition-code CUSTOM SLOT CONTENT /tal:block tal:block tal:condition=python:not condition-code SLOT DEFAULT CONTENT /tal:block /tal:block Is there other wat to accomplish this? You might modify the macro to allow this, making the default content a separate macro:: html metal:define-macro=slotted body h1 Slotted /h1 div metal:define-slot=slot_issue metal:default metal:define-macro=default_issue DEFAULT SLOT CONTENT metal:default /div /body /html The template which includes the macro would then be:: html metal:use-macro=context/other_template/macros/slotted body div metal:fill-slot=slot_issue tal:block condition=condition-code CUSTOM SLOT CONTENT /tal:block tal:block condition=not:condition-code div metal:use-macro=context/other_template/macros/default_issue/ /tal:block /div /body /html It may help to remember that macros are actually inlined into the including template, rather than being called as a function would be.

If I understand correctly you want to fill a slot if a condition is true
else leave the default.
A typical slot-modell looks something like this:
Template I:
a metal:define-macro=A
b metal:define-slot=B
default
/b
/a
Template II:
a metal:use-macro=here/TemplateI/macros/A
b metal:fill-slot=B
custom
/b
/a
A different approach, a use-macro-modell:
Template I:
a metal:define-macro=A
tal:define=macros here/getmacros
b metal:use-macro=macros/B/
/a
Python Script getmacros:
macros = {}
# default_macros, custom_macros are page templates.
macros.update(container.default_macros.macros)
if blah:
macros.update(container.custom_macros.macros)
return macros
This is oversimplified, but I hope it helps you to find a solution.
