Aloha,
I want to create a condition in ZPT. This is the condition in DTML:
<dtml-in "PARENTS[0].objectValues('News')"> <dtml-if "_.sequence-item.id != PARENTS[0].id"> <a href="<dtml-var absolute_url"><dtml-var menu></a><br /> <dtml-else> <dtml-var menu> </dtml-if>
there is no *else* in TAL/TALES (ok, there is _.test() ), see http://www.zope.org/Members/peterbe/DTML2ZPT/#example2
...so 'else' or 'elif' is done with multiple condition statements, only one of which will be true. A snippet from my menu macros (seems like same thing you're trying to do - show link or not, depending on context):
... <p tal:condition="python:request.PARENTS[0].id!='designserv'"> <a href="/designserv/designserv.html">Design Services</a></p> <p tal:condition="python:request.PARENTS[0].id=='designserv'"> <span class="boldrightnavtxt">Design Services</span> ...
If there's a slicker way to do this sort of thing in ZPT I'd be happy to hear about it, but peterbe's example seems to show the same method...?
cheers, John S.
not much slicker, from the top of my head (i really never *used* ZPTs so far) -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Who's got only a hammer sees the world as a nail hans augustin (software developer) hans@beehive.de beehive elektronische medien GmbH http://www.beehive.de phone: +49 30 847-82 0 fax: +49 30 847-82 299
