[Zope] Re: Variable name of the ZOPE root? For use in TREE

21 Apr 2000

      Hi, figured it out:

If you try to use PARENTS[-1] directy it doesn't work:

Example:
        <!--#tree "PARENTS[-1]" branches_expr="objectValues()" sort=id-->

but if you put it into a variable and then call the variable, it works:

Example:
        <!--#call "REQUEST.set( 'ZopeRootObject' , PARENTS[-1] )"-->

        <!--#tree ZopeRootObject branches_expr="objectValues()" sort=id-->

Strange.

Subject: Variable name of the ZOPE root? For use in TREE
...
Hi All,
I have created a method using the DTML-TREE tag to create a browsable tree
starting at the ZOPE root.  My problem is that I don't know how to
call/refer to the ZOPE root folder.
Ex: The following creates a tree starting with the "QuickStart" tutorial
folder.
<!--#tree QuickStart branches_expr="objectValues('Image') or
objectValues()"
sort=id-->
I want to start at the ZOPE root instead, so it should look something like
this:
<!--#tree ZopeRoot branches_expr="objectValues('Image') or objectValues()"
sort=id-->
...
<!--#/tree-->
But "ZopeRoot" of course is not the variable name. I have tried "root", a
blank value (""), a period (".") but none of these work. What is the
appropriate variable name of the Zope root?
Thanks,
kh
