Hi All, I'm setting up a site where the nav menu links are specified for each folder using a "menu" object. If it's not present in a folder, it will be acquired from further up, as usual. For some pages within a folder, I'd like to use a page-specific menu and not the folder's one at all. To do this, I figured I'd create another menu object for that page object called "<pagename>.menu" and use a soft reference to render that in my standard_html_footer instead of rendering the folder's "menu" object. So here's the bit of ugly DTML that I've got in my footer: <div class="menu"> <dtml-try> <dtml-with aq_explicit> <dtml-let spliturl="_.string.split(absolute_url(), '/')" menuname="spliturl[_.len(spliturl)-1:]+['menu']" menulink="_.string.join(menuname, '.')"> <dtml-var expr="_[menulink]"> </dtml-let> </dtml-with> <dtml-except> <dtml-var menu> </dtml-try> </div> <!-- menu --> It constructs what the name of the page-specific menu would be for this page (in the variable menulink) then uses that in the soft reference _[menulink]. Unfortunately, when rendering a page called, say, index.html it will acquire index.html.menu from further up the tree if not available in the page's own folder, even though I have wrapped this all up in <dtml-with aq_explicit> to supposedly disable acquisition. I'm obviously missing a subtlety here -- any ideas? I'd especially like to know if there's a much simpler way to do all this and I'm just being thick.
