That thread refers to 'content' rather than 'context'. Page templates have already made 'context' available as an alternative to 'here'. I don't see why 'object' should be treated any differently. "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." ;-) Laurence _______________________________________________ Zope-CMF maillist - Zope-CMF@lists.zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-cmf See https://bugs.launchpad.net/zope-cmf/ for bug reports and feature requests
