One way to get started with searching a ZCatalog is to create a "Z Search Interface". This will give you a search form and a report. The report shows you how you can search. Some basic syntax you can use:
<dtml-in "Catalog({artistname: 'Buffett'})"> ...stuff to display the results... <p><a href="<dtml-var "getpath(data_record_id_)">"><dtml-var title></a></p> </dtml-in>
You use the getpath function to get the URL of the cataloged object.
I wrote up a How-To yesterday on this topic if anyone needs more pointers. http://www.zope.org/Members/Zen/howto/AdvZCatalogSearching ___ // Zen (alias Stuart Bishop) Work: zen@cs.rmit.edu.au // E N Senior Systems Alchemist Play: zen@shangri-la.dropbear.id.au //__ Computer Science, RMIT WWW: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/~zen
