I’ve tried that as well, using every possible permutation of what “here” may mean (including literally “here”) with no luck.</FONT></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong and why I can’t access my Plone content in my ZPTs?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’m sure it’s obvious, but it’s not jumping out at me.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I really only need dynamic content for 6 pages, and I’m hesitant to start creating the other 120 until I’ve got this figured out, so I’m kind of at a standstill.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Anyways, if you’ve gotten this far thanks for reading.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Any advice would be much appreciated.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></FONT></FONT></P>
