Hi,
I think this is a simle question but I've been struggling for the last two days trying to get it to work. I have a heirarchy of folders (really a custom container class) and files (really a custom object). I want to emulate the Window's Explorer interface, left side of page occupied with a tree of the entire hierarchy, and the right side contains the details.
Is this possible? Is it also possible to synchronize both views, for example, if the user decides to navigate with the right half of the screen, the left half would update accordingly? Does anyone have any pointers for me or links or examples?
How about the Zope mgmt interface?
Duh .. guess I should have thought of that ...
One other question, how do I refer to a specific object in a python? If /status is a folder, how would I refer to the /status folder from any number of subfolders within?
acquisition. :-) i'd give a longer answer but it would take five pages.
Boy .. how embarrassing .. I must've taken a stupid pill or something this morning. The problem I was having is that my top level container was called 'status' but each of these containers also has a 'status' attribute thus when I was trying to access the root container I kept getting the 'status' attribute of my current folder ... I guess I'll have to pick better names to avoid these sorts of clashes in the future.
