how: passing a list as a hidden variable from doc to doc

Hello Zopistas, I've come across this problem, (which delays my whole project and upsets my employer): I have a Form that displays a list of files for deletion and a checkbox for each file to select it: <dtml-in "prjfolder.objectIds('File')" skip_unauthorized> <input type=checkbox name=del_list value=<dtml-var sequence-item>> [...] Users can check the files they want to delete. They submit the form to the next dtml-method, say "delete". all checked filenames are passed to this method as a list object, e.g.: ['file1', 'file2', 'file3']. If I pass this list object to manage_delObjects(del_list), everything goes fine. The objects are deleted. Logical flow: select -> delete BUT: I have to ask the user if he really wants to delete the files. Thus: select -> ask -> delete So I need to pass the list of filenames through that darn "ask" document. There I did something like: <input type=hidden name=del_list:list value="<dtml-var "REQUEST['del_list']">"> this renders to: <input type=hidden name=del_list:list value="['file1', 'file2', 'file3']"> (Note: I did the :list type conversion. I also tried tokens, lines, whatever...) If the user chooses to delete, I finally call my delete document, which is supposed to delete the files in the list. but the call to manage_delObjects(del_list) fails with: Error Value: ['file1', 'file2', 'file3'] does not exist How do I pass a list object from one document to another? It always somehow becomes a string, breaking everything. There must be a clean way; I do not want to do string magic with split or so. Anyone help me out, please. thanks in advance, Heiko -- heiko.stoermer(a)innominate.de innominate AG networkingpeople fon: +49.30.308806-0 fax: -77 web: http://innominate.de

Hello, i want to create an image object that show its content only if the user have enough "power" to see it. I've created a Zclass, added my power property and then changed the view method with this one: <dtml-var standard_html_header> ... check the power and then if ok... <dtml-call "propertysheets.view_image_or_file"> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> But it's not working, why?

Rank newbie question
by John R. Hillman 05 May '00

05 May '00

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello- This is probably a silly, easily answered question, but I'll be darned if I can figure it out (although, admittedly, I'm pressed for time due to other projects, so I haven't *really* tried...). I would like to setup the index_html in the 'root' folder of the Zope server such that it automagically generates a nav bar with links to all of the subfolders. That way, if I have to add or remove subfolders (representing departments within the division), I don't have to modify any links manually. So, basically, the way I see it, is that the index_html would have to have a method that globs the IDs of the subfolders, then iterates through them, generating links on the fly. How would one accomplish this? (Assuming, of course, that it is feasible). Many thanks! - -- John R.
