If I create a macro which defines a slot called 'content', is there any way to have that slot populated by a file with a specific name if it exists in a folder?
What I'd like to do is create a structure text file, in each of the folders A B C and have it automatically loaded into a content slot of a master template whenever the options A B C are selected.
Can I do that, and if so how?
I have spent all day looking at ZPT references and have no idea if what I'd like to do is possible.
You don't have to involve macros:: <div>I'm a header</div> <p tal:condition="exists:context/stxfile" tal:replace="structure context/stxfile/CookedBody"> This is sample page content </p> <div>I'm a footer</div> If 'stxfile' can be aquired, what it renders will be included as page structure. (You may need to use a different method one the end of the path to render the object; for Documents, this is 'CookedBody'.) Otherwise, nothing will be rendered, though you could add a block with the oposite condition to supply a default action. If you do not want the effects of acquisition, you may say instead:: tal:condition="exists:context/aq_explicit/stxfile" since Zope assumes you generally want acquisition. --jcc -- "Building Websites with Plone" http://plonebook.packtpub.com/ Enfold Systems, LLC http://www.enfoldsystems.com
