I am cataloging mysql-data with zcatalog following the how-to provided by zope-member rbicker. this works fine. since I use batch-processing to build web pages containing e.g. 3 mysql data records per page, the uid's, hence the url's of the zcatalog's objects are e.g.: /base/select_mm_url/2/show_intro?start=4 this url, I build dynamically from a python script, which catalogs the mysql data: for chapter in container.search_mms(): container.catalog_object(chapter,'/base/select_mm_url/' + chapter.mm_id + '/show_intro?start=' + chapter.mms_id) [works fine ...] in the search results' page I use the following code to link to the results: <A HREF="&dtml.-getURL;">link</a> unfortunately, the link on the web page turns out like this: /base/select_mm_url/2/show_intro%3fstart%3d4 what is my mistake? I was believing I would have to turn off the automatic url-quoting using the entity reference '&dtml ....;' by putting the '.' after '&dtml'. but it seems, this doesn't work with 'getURL'. if so, what other possibilities do I have to "get" the results' "url"? thanks for any hint. lambert
