[Zope] To Redirect or not to Redirect, that is the question

18 Oct 1999

      Uh... how would I put it. I've hit another brickwall :)
(I'm ashamed to come to this only to ask for help....)

I have problem with rendering images in a sub-sub-sub-folder
that are linked with <img src> tags inside a html-document
within that same sub-sub-sub-folder.

For example:

main_index.html
1999
    10
      1000
      1001
      1002 (i.e. unique article)
          index.html (render article visible method)
          image1     (image within the article)
          image2
          image3

In the above scenario I have an article that can be viewed
by calling index.html. This can be done with an easy URL
that point to the right index.html and the images within
that article folder object are rendered beautifully.

However, if I want to call only ONE property of EACH
article from within main_index.html (that is at root
level), I run into problems if the property I want
to display (such as teaser) contains a reference
to an image within that article.

So, if I from main_index.html do the following:

<dtml-with "_[_.str(year)]">
 <dtml-with "_[_.str(month)]">
    <dtml-in "objectValues('KMArticle')" sort=release reverse> 
        <dtml-var teaser> 
    </dtml-in>
  </dtml-with>
</dtml-with>

The teaser property for each article is displayed just as
I want it to be, but all the image references point to:

	http://www.mydomain.com/imagename

whereas they should point to:

	http://www.mydomain.com/year/month/articleid/imagename

...in order to be rendered correctly.

This is due to the browser still working within the context of
main_index.html (that is inside the root folder) and not inside
the article folder the property of which I'm about to render.

So, my question is: how do I display a property of an object
from within a sub-sub-sub-folder while also displaying all
inline elements from within that sub-sub-sub-folder to which
the property refers to (by use of relative <img src> , <embed>
and such html tags)?

I know I can do a redirect response, but then it totally jumps
to another page (out of my dtml-with recursion) and I can't have that.

I need to stay within my loop and also display the images properly
for each article.

I don't know how to do this.

Help :)

PS KMMN is shaping up nicely. I have send an article submittal form,
preview an article, send an article for submittal, approve submitted
article and publish submitted article (except for the images) working
nicely. I'll publish my dtml to anybody interested as soon as I get 
things wrapped up.
