I appreciate the ZPT solution but the whole idea is to have a single method at the top of the tree and manage the objects down in the leaves from there.
So tweak the ZPT i gave you ;-)
Meanwhile, have a little patience with us newbies--you can't memorize the manual in a day. And the manual could certainly use some improvement, to wit, if dtml is frowned upon, put ZPT first and clearly mention that it is the preferred approach and should be learned first.
If I could, I would. Sadly, the manual is a lore unto itself and is, I suspect, unmaintained now :-(
down the hall finds some parts of Zope less than transparent. You shouldn't have to read source code in the .py files to get things done.
Indeed, but work on the basis that if it's feeling really painful and unintuitive, then there's a better way of doing it. cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
