What happened to the Zope2 TALES root variable?
Q. In a tales expression, where has the “root” context variable gone? In zope2, we could use “path:root/path/to/object” or “path:/path/to/object”, but it doesn’t work with Zope 3. How can we access some object with an absolute path? Right, there is no root namespace by default. I actually have never needed this feature. However, you can write your own TALES namespace adapter, so that you can say: mynamespace:root. We sometimes write our own namespace adapters to do this sort of thing.
