Hi Lindon, What I've done for a similar problem on my site is to use folder properties. I assign the root folder a property called "section" with a value of 0, meaning that the nav bar should be rendered normally. Each of the subfolders has the "section" property as well, but with a different value which overrides the 0. Then, all I have to do in my standard_header or standard_footer is test the value of var section and render appropriately. Acquisition is neat! Sean

Hi list,
I've taken a look through my saved mails, and through the documentation but I can't seem to find an answer to this(sorry if it's obvious to everyone):
How do I pass a parameter to a DTML Method(or a DTML document for that matter)?
What I want to do is set up a navigation bar once(in say a DTML Method at the root of the site), this allows the user to traverse to any area of the
site, but it doesn't make much sense to traverse to the area you are already visiting, so I'd like to pass the current "area" in as a parameter and then use an #if test to enable/disable the navigation(HREF) part of the code.
Could someone point me to documetation that outlines what each side of this looks like?
Thanks Lindon
(Oh yeah, great product you Zope guys...)
