What am I doing wrong here?
<dtml-var last> -- this prints out the variable sent from last (referring) page fine <dtml-var id> -- this prints out the id of the current item fine
<dtml-if "id == last"> this one! </dtml-if>
i want this to output "this one!" when the current item is the one requested by the last page but they are never seen as == even when the two dtml-var are the same
they are never equal!
You will see this in the list archives several times in the past. Depending on the object, id is a method and not an simple attribute. To be on the save side (instead of figuring out what it is actually) always use: getId() Btw. <dtml-var id> does not use the id the same way like <dtml-if "id==last">. Try <dtml-var "id"> and you will see the method signature (view document source in the browser) I'd recommend doing that all in a python script and then use the prepared data in your DTML - oder later ZPT.
