Ainis, You can do this by using the PARENTS object. For example, the following (untested) code, when run from http://youserver/test/dir2/hardware/prices/index_html (assuming index_html is a dtml method and not a dtml document -- a dtml document has its own properties) will give you the id of the /test/dir2 folder: <!--#var "PARENTS[2].id"--> e.g. it will print "dir2" While: <!--#var "PARENTS[1].id"--> will give you the id of the hardware folder (e.g. it will print "hardware"), et. al. I think this is what you're looking for.. -----Original Message----- From: Ainis [mailto:ainis@mindless.com] Sent: Monday, September 27, 1999 6:40 PM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] comparing variables from different name spaces? Hello ALL, How do i compare variables from two different namespaces? In my current situation I need to check if my current path is in some directory tree. For example lets say I have folders /test/dir1 /test/dir2 /test/dir3 In these folders there are alot more other folders, so when i currently am in for example /test/dir2/hardware/prices/index_html the script should check in which of those 3 root folders (dir1, dir2 or dir3) am i. Now lets look at the part of /test/dir2/hardware/prices/index_html source: <dtml-with test> <dtml-in "objectValues(['Folder'])"> <!--#var id--> </dtml-in--> </dtml-with--> Ok, so in this case i have a loop in which i go through ids of all folders in /test/ but now how do I check test's subfolder's id is PARENT of my current /test/dir2/hardware/prices/ folder? I think the easiest way would be- <dtml-if dir2> but that has to be done only from /test/dir2/hardware/prices/ names pace which (i think) I have already lost with <dtml-with test>. So how do I compare the older name space's variable with newer one's? I also tried some tricks with <dtml-with blah only> but with no success. P.S. excuse me if this turns out to be lame question, I'm a bit new to Zope Best regards, Ainis mailto:ainis@mindless.com _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope (To receive general Zope announcements, see: http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce For developer-specific issues, zope-dev@zope.org - http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
