To elaborate on my own post: I remember wasting some time before I figured out that I had to use 'absolute_url'. With just relative 'url' the URL kept getting longer. This is certainly an issue. I'm not sure that 'absolute_url' is the only or best solution. -- Loren ----- Original Message ----- From: Loren Stafford <lstaffor@dynalogic.com> To: Eron Lloyd <woodsage@op.net> Sent: February 08, 2000 09:52 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] Using Links within Zope

There's a How-To on that kind of nav bar (http://www.zope.org/Members/lstaffor/Breadcrumbs). You are welcome to use any of it in other documentation.

It mostly illustrates how to use the PARENTS object.

As far as linking goes, it's pretty simple. It uses absolute_url for all hrefs.

My next question is: Linking in Zope - is there anything special (yet basic enough) that can be done besides a "<a href="some.object">click here</a>" type of link? Any DTML-special stuff? Especially useful would be implementing a navigation bar that trails behind each level deep into the heirarchy you go. How to generate the links, etc. and what DTML would need to be used.

Ideas? Pour 'em out, I'm willing to write as much as I learn.

Thanks in advance,

Eron
