Get the PloneBatch module from Plone. It runs also outside Zope and it does exactly what you want. PloneBatch is well documented (check plone.org). -aj --On Freitag, 5. Dezember 2003 15:12 Uhr -0500 Lyz@PrincessLeia.com wrote:
I'm fairly new to Zope, I have been searching for a number of hours on my most recent dilemma.
I have a database that's full of information I'd like to return. I created a Z SQL method to select * from table, and using <dtml-in ...> I can return all the results I need, but there are too many.
I'd like to only show 5 at a time, then have a links at the bottom so you can jump to database results 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, etc (much like at the bottom of a google results page). I need these links to be generated dynamically (the database grows weekly), dependent on how many results I have from the database. I have come up with a number of ideas, but they are primarily "unsuccessful hacks" ... is there a good "Zopeish way" I can accomplish this, or at least point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
