Repeating a piece of HTML code
Hello, it's the first time I write here and I'm a newbie at Zope, so maybe I'm asking a stupid question... Case is I retrieve from my movie database the value of the movie from 1 to 5 stars. I would like to repeat that n times the code <img SRC="star.gif" height=15 width=15> so the number of stars would appear: 1 - * 2 - ** 3 - *** 4 - **** 5 - ***** Is there any way to do so in Zope? Does the <dtml-in> tag anything to do with it? Thank you! ===== Saludos!! -------- _- /Txapulin\ -_ txapulin@yahoo.com O \ / --- \ / O http://www.geocities.com/txapulin \/ | \/ / |XAP \ |----------------------------| |----------------------------| __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

if number_of_stars is 5 then <dtml-var " '*' * number_of_stars "> will give you ***** (Multiplication works on strings in python and thus Zope!)

<dtml-in expr="_.range(0, movie_rating)"> <img SRC="star.gif" height=15 width=15> </dtml-in> Replace movie_rating with the variable that represents the movie rating. Shane

What about <dtml-var "'*' * movie_rating"> ? -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited

Or rather: <dtml-var "'<img SRC=star.gif height=15 width=15>' * movie_rating"> -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited

Fine, except that he wants the <img> tag repeated the appropriate number of times. Try putting the tag into the dtml-var statement and you get something along the lines of (untested): <dtml-var "('<img src=%sstart.gif%s height=15 width=15>' % (_.chr(34), _.chr(34))) * movie_rating"> at which point the dtml-in starts to look more appealing. Of course if you rename star.gif as star_gif you could try: <dtml-var "start_gif.tag() * movie_rating"> which has a certain neatness. -- Duncan Booth duncan@dales.rmplc.co.uk int month(char *p){return(124864/((p[0]+p[1]-p[2]&0x1f)+1)%12)["\5\x8\3" "\6\7\xb\1\x9\xa\2\0\4"];} // Who said my code was obscure? http://dales.rmplc.co.uk/Duncan
