Hi all,
I'm working on a product that renders treemenu's for websites. Now I
have to get an initlevel as starting point for my menu.
I've tried the following:
def __init__(self, id, title='', initlevel=0):
      """initialize a new instance of SiteNav"""
      self.id = id
      self.title = title
      self.initlevel = self.getInitLevel()
def getInitLevel(self):
      """returns the initlevel"""
      initlevel = 0
      parent = self
      while 1:
      	if hasattr(parent,'aq_parent'):
      		parent=parent.aq_parent
      		initlevel = initlevel + 1
      	else:
      		break
      return initlevel - 1
When I add a SiteNav object (folderish object) and I put a DTMLMethod
in it where I call getInitLevel, I get the correct initlevel.
But when I ask for initlevel in the DTMLMethod, I get -1.
Doesn't the object has a aq_parent at initialization?
Is there a way to do this?
Thanx!
