Hi everyone!
In the robots and spiders tip it says:
"... but its probably better to specify absolute URLs."
I wonder if there is a way in zope to specify absolute urls but still be able to transfer a whole branch of the website using copy/cut and paste without messing up the links. Anybody done that?
Sure, you just call absolute_url on the object, or, you can use the var tag option to do that, or, you can use the URL entity reference. For example, suppose you want to provide a URL to 'X', which may come from a variety of places. You can use any of: <dtml-var expr="X.absolute_url()"> or <dtml-var X url> or &dtml.url-x; All of these are equivalent, and the last is probably the best, since it is short and is handly when used in a tag attribute, as in: <a href="&dtml.url-x;">See X</a> Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@digicool.com Python Powered!
