Thanks Eric, Eventually I figured it out this way: <dtml-in expr="Exterior.Noticies.objectItems()" size=2 reverse> <dtml-if "meta_type == 'Portal Article'"> <li><a href="<dtml-var absolute_url>"><dtml-var title></a> <br> <dtml-var description> </li> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> where Exterior.Noticies is the path to my folder. The thing is, now, it seems I can't retrieve the TextElement object which inside the article. Suppose I have an article with an Image inside or a TextElement, how can I access it the same way I did with title and description( <dtml-var TextElement> doesn't work at all)? do you have any idea? thanks a lot Luca -----Mensaje original----- De: eric.n.dunn@bankofamerica.com [mailto:eric.n.dunn@bankofamerica.com] Enviado el: miércoles, 05 de junio de 2002 16:28 Para: Santagostino Pretina, Luca CC: zope@zope.org Asunto: RE: [Zope] personalize Home Page 1. <dtml-with expr="CMF"> ...

Dunn/USA/BAC@BankofAmerica cc: zope@zope.org Subject: RE: [Zope] personalize Home Page Hi eric thanks for your answers, but I am encountering problem in understanding it...(forgive me but I'm really new to zope..) this is your code: <dtml-with expr="CMF"> <dtml-var cmf_news> </dtml-with> I don't understand if CMF stands for the name of my cmf_site or for the path to my folder/object and in this case what is the object? I mean, suppose I have an article in a folder called myFirstArticle and this would be the path to it: cmf_site/MyNews/MyArticles/MyFirstArticle, and your code becomes something like this: <dtml-with expr="cmf_site/MyNews/MyArticles/MyFirstArticle"> <dtml-var cmf_news> </dtml-with> but then again: what is cmf_news? where do I get that variable from? thanks again and I hope you or anyone else could help me with this. thanks Luca -----Mensaje original----- De: eric.n.dunn@bankofamerica.com [mailto:eric.n.dunn@bankofamerica.com] Enviado el: martes, 04 de junio de 2002 14:03 Para: Santagostino Pretina, Luca CC: zope@zope.org Asunto: Re: [Zope] personalize Home Page This is what I use to pull the last 3 dates from my squishdot site (without stuff in parens) <dtml-with expr="squishdot_site"> (squishdot folderish/object) <dtml-var articles_html> (copied code from "squishdot/rightbox_methods/prev_articles) </dtml-with> (close tag) Same concept with my CMF site <dtml-with expr="CMF"> <dtml-var cmf_news> </dtml-with> I pull both CMF News and Squishdot News to my front page.

Let's say I have 4 different folders, each one has 3 subfolders and each subfolder has a list of articles or news_items. How can I import the content of the last article published in a specified subfolders, in the homepage? or the last news_item published in a specified subfolder into the index_html of the homepage? thanks for helping Luca _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
