I wanted to randomly pick a an image from an images folder and insert it into my page. So I created a python script the return a random selection from the images folder.
Then, in my zpt I did
<span tal:define="global slot1 container/getimageR1" > <!-- slot one item --> </span>
Later in in the <img> tag I wanted to to do
<img tal:attributes="src slot1" >
however I found that slot1 was not giving me the full path to the images folder. So I went back and did this:
<span tal:define="slot1 container/getimageR1" > <!-- slot one item --> <span tal:define="global s1 python:'random1/'+slot1.getId()"></span> </span>
tal:attributes="src slot1/absolute_url"
in order to get the object to have the full url.
It just seems there should be a better way. Anyone have a suggestion?
