Hi, I'm (obviously?) a new Zope user. I've been working on a website -- originally it was organized as: http;//my_url:8080/AnansiWWW where "AnansiWWW" was a folder, and everything else was below that. However, for various reasons, it's clear that we want the public version of the site to have the stuff in AnansiWWW appear at the root level, i.e: http;//my_url:8080/ So I've been trying to move stuff up. However, I've been using a navigation bar that uses a bit of code like this to determine where "Up" should be for each folder: <dtml-var expr="_.getitem(Up).absolute_url()"> This is nice, because I can set "Up" to be a property of the folder and exercise a bit more creative control over the navigation bar's behavior. It worked fine before, where going to the home page could be acheived by simply setting Up to "AnansiWWW". I tried some alternatives before coming up with the "getitem" approach above, but I couldn't figure out anything simpler that would do what I needed. But here's the problem -- now I want that to resolve to simply: "/" in the event that Up is simply the home page. I can't reasonably use "index_html", because that might resolve to some intermediate folder that was not intended ("index_html" being used in a lot of places). For this to work, I need an ID for the root folder. I've not been able to find any reference to this in the documentation I have, and obvious guesses like "" "root" "/" "_" "." ".." "Root Folder" "BASE0" etc, don't work. I even tried leaving out the "Up" property and using a "missing" line in the DTML, but that doesn't work either (apparently it still tries to evaluate the getitem() and generates an error. If it's really not possible to refer to the root object, then how else could I code this to acheive my purpose? Thanks!
