[Zope] How do I check for existence of a page?

28 Feb 2001

      We have our staff listed under /staff, so that you might find me as 
/staff?staffname=joel

I'd like the return page from this method to check if I have a 
homepage on the site, and if so, provide a link. Right now, I'm doing 
this as:

<dtml-in "PARENTS[1].home.objectIds(['Folder'])">
  <dtml-if "_['sequence-item']==staffname">
    <a href="/home/&dtml-staffname;">There is a home page</a> 
  </dtml-if>
</dtml-in>

(cycle through folders under the '/home' directory, check the seq-id 
against my name, and if so, generate a link.)

Is there a cleaner way to do this?

Thanks!
