but how do i get that data displayed in the ZTP page? i have a page in the /timesheets/ztp folder (also called "list_people") with the following text, but it won't compile:
<ul tal:repeat="item /timesheets/sql/list_people"> <li tal:content="item/person">name</li> </ul>
the error message is: Compilation failed TAL.TALDefs.TALError: Invalid variable name "" in expression '/timesheets/sql/list_people'
Just timesheets/sql/list_people -- no leading "/". You can get to the content of parent folders by acquisition. Or I believe there is a root object (not sure), so root/timesheets/sql/list_people You get the Invalid variable name "" because it never expects a leading "/", and it assumes there is a variable before the slash (which would have to be the empty string). Not the best error message, I guess... -- Ian Bicking | ianb@colorstudy.com | http://blog.ianbicking.org
