ugh. this looks like a good place for a python script.
I get that a lot. I don't do python yet! I'm trying to work in dtml only, though I know it's getting harder and harder.
look. Get Python Scripts installed. If necessary, get "learning python" (book w/mouse on cover). DTML is *much harder* than python for logic. In that spirit, I give you 7 lines in python that will do what you want: # let's get a list of the objects here. obj_list=context.objectValues() # we'll go through the list by counting # up to its length. for index in range(len(obj_list)): # if we're past the end of the shortened list, we're done. if len(obj_list) >= index: break # let's get it out of it's wrapper only_object = obj_list[index].aq_explicit # delete it if it's hidden if getattr(only_object, 'index_hide', None): del obj_list[index] # give me the list back return obj_list I tested this, it should work. Put it in the root of your zope as a python script called filteredItems and then you can just dtml-in over it like so: <dtml-in filteredItems> <dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in> You will like zope much more if you use the twin power of python scripts and page templates, IMNSHO. ~ethan Zopatista Community Liason/Prostelytizer :)
