I've trying to write a little dtml method that will out put a list of images in a given location using a variable "path" with is passed from a form. ?path=photos1...
but haven't had much luck because it doesn't seems to interpret the variable i want to be a path. if i put the path directly into the program ie "photos1.objectValues()" it works. but i need it to be feed from a variable path.
<dtml-in expr="path.objectValues('CMF ZPhotoSlides')">
<folder path="wombat/&dtml-id;/" name="&dtml-title_or_id;" amount="<dtml-in expr="objectValues(['CMF ZPhoto'])"><dtml-if sequence-end><dtml-var count-description></dtml-if></dtml-in>"/>
</dtml-in>
this should simple ;-) but i'm missing something.
<dtml-in "_[path].objectValues()"> You want to look up an object in the namespace, and to do so you must use dictionary lookup on the namespace (which is the variable "_".) One could also use getattr or similar. Think of it this way:
namespace = {"photos1":someobject, "photos2":someotherobject} path = "photos1" ph = namespace[path] # being the same as... ph = namespace["photos1"] # which is like saying <dtml-var "photos1.objectValues()">
