Hello, I have multiple problems with a short DTML thingy I'm putting together. Let's go through them one at a time. I have folder hierarchy (from KM|NetNews) like this ArticleStorage Year Month_x Month_y ... Day_p Day_q Day_r ... Article1_id Article2_id Article3_id So, year, date, month and article are all folderish objects that contain further objects (article contains images that have been submitted alongside the article itself). I have a rudimentary (copied) dtml-code that displays all articles (from any year, month, day): <dtml-in "objectValues('KMYear')"> <dtml-in "objectValues('KMMonth')"> <dtml-in "objectValues('KMArticle')" sort=release reverse> <dtml-if "(release.isPast()) and current"> <H1><dtml-var title></H2> <A HREF="mailto:<dtml-var email>"><dtml-var author></A> <BR> <dtml-var teaser> <br> <dtml-if "text_content"> <a href="<dtml-var "absolute_url() +'/index.html'">">Read more...</a> </dtml-if> <P> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </dtml-in> </dtml-in> So, nothing fancy in that. It looks through all the year objects and through all month objects and through all the day objects and displays all articles that have a release date (release-variable) past now and that are current (curret variable is set to 1). Easy, at least that's how I understand it (i.e. ObjectValues(X) looks through all the subfolders of type X??). There is no good documentation for objectValues anywhere in the DTML Guide (just 2 obscure examples and one reference in index). Now, to my problems: 1. I want to display only articles from year_x, month_x, day_x. Can I somehow only list articles from year_x/mont_x/day_x? How? I can't find any command nor reference how to do this via objectValues. I don't want to make an if-loop inside the above original code that check for all articles (regardless of their folder) that if theyr year, mont and day are the same as today. This would require 3 if statements for ALL of my articles. This would be silly, dont you think? 2. I have a method from KM|NetNews product called add.html and another one called approve.html (these are my modified copies of incoming.html and index.html respectively). I want users with writer role to access add.html and add.html ONLY. I want users with editor role to access add.html and approve.html. Both of these methods are under the KMArticleStorage product folder How do I do this? I can't find anywhere in the documentation ways to define permissions for a single dtml_method (call me thick, but I can't find it!). Also, trying to check the authenticated user with has_role only results in key_error every single time (works on one page, doesn't work on another. There is some peculiar namespace trickery going on here that I don't understand.). 3. If I want to render visible objects that are inside objects (e.g. images that are inside particular folderish article objects), how do I do it? I understand that I can iterate through all of the folder objects (e.g. images) and display their id, the actual image itself and then even give a form submit button to upload a file to replace that image. But I can't figure out the DTML code to do this... I've tried a gazilliion different permutations (with, let, objectvalues, sequence-item, etc. tags) Any takers? All help mucho appreciated, Samu Mielonen PS About my earlier e-mail about Zope consulting. Yes, I'm buying that, but it's goingg to take awhile to produce anything so I need to get up running quickly with my mini-mini-mini-version.
