[Zope] ZPT - how to get started with Macro, I get "version None" error

Fri, 13 Apr 2001 15:43:05 -0400

On Zope 2.3.1 without ParsedXML on Linux RH 7.0

I installed TAL and PageTemplates per instruction.

I'm trying to use SimpleWelcome and the master macro.

I created a folder named "test"

In there I created two page templates, one called Welcome, with the SimpleWelcome 
text (modified) and the other template is called "master" with the sample master macro.

I changed SimpleWelcome to be something like this:

<html xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal"
       xmlns:metal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/metal"
       metal:use-macro="here/master">
   <body>
     <div metal:fill-slot="main">
       <p>Welcome to the machine</p>
     </div>
   </body>
 </html>

(also tried "container/master")

In both cases I get:

<!-- Page Template Diagnostics
 Macro expansion failed
 TAL.TALDefs.METALError: macro 'here/master' has incompatible version None, at line 1, column 1
 ('/home/bkc/ADKWood/lib/python/TAL/TALInterpreter.py', 384, 'do_useMacro', 'self.position)')

 ('/home/bkc/ADKWood/lib/python/Products/PageTemplates/PageTemplate.py', 184, 'read', 'return self.pt_render(source=1)')
-->

I also tried making Master just a DTML method.. No change. Does "master" have to be 
a ParsedXML document?

I just need a little boost to get started, does anyone have this working on their Zope?
