Hi Dylan,
When one of the links is pressed I need the name of the selected link (directoryname) for displaying the files in this directory.
Example: - Documents - Pictures - Movies
How can I use a Python script to set the current directory ?
Well... the easiest thing is to design so that you don't need to do anything. For example, let's say you have the directory structure: ----- app_dir/ list_contents documents/ pictures/ movies/ ----- Where list_contents is a DTML Method like: ----- <dtml-in "objectIds(object_type)" prefix=obj> <dtml-var obj_item> </dtml-in> ----- Now, if you want list_contents to apply to a specific directory, you need only cause the client to request a URL like: app_dir/documents/list_contents app_dir/pictures/list_contents app_dir/movies/list_contents It is not usually necessary to *set* the current directory if you let Acquisition respond in the context of the client request. If you need to use an object that regular Acquisition isn't going to find correctly, you can use restrictedTraverse() or dtml-with. HTH, Dylan
