NewbieQ of the moment:
So there's a folder on my server, call it \\server\files\logos. I want to list its contents in a drop-down listbox in a form; something like
<select name="logo_filename"> <option selected value="default.jpg">default.jpg <option value="file1.jpg">file1.jpg ... </select>
Needless to say, I've installed the local filesystem product and created a localfs object called "logos" that maps to the correct folder. And now I'm mired in the docs. I'm thinking that I can just use dtml-in to iterate through the file ids of the objects in that folder, but I'm damned if I can see *how* to do that. Any tips?
You can also refer to the DTML with LocalFS how-to at http://www.zope.org/Members/jfarr/HowTo/DTML_with_LocalFS I just added a section covering this topic. I will be adding more LocalFS/DTML examples over the coming weeks. --jfarr "Perl is worse than Python because people wanted it worse." Larry Wall, 14 Oct 1998
