holden, I don't know how to do this in dtml but in zpt I can create variables so rather than doing path="wombat/&dtml-id;/" I would in zpt anyway do a tal:define="mypath python:'wombat/'+getID()+'/'" and then have <folder path="" tal:attribute="path mypath" Can you do something similar in dtml?? ____________________________________________ Peter Millar -----Original Message----- From: zope-bounces+peter.millar=parasyn.com.au@zope.org [mailto:zope-bounces+peter.millar=parasyn.com.au@zope.org] On Behalf Of Wombie Tomek Sent: Thursday, 20 January 2005 13:00 To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] question on objectValues 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. thanks... holden _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
