Alriiighty. What i'm wanting to
do is to put up a 'news' table for the side of my page -- think, www.zope.org -- 'News'? :)
The way I have it set up is a
News/ subfolder, with an Items/ folder beneath it that has a group of dtml
documents in the format of YY-MM-DD.SS, with a title that describes what the
news is about. SS is a serial number, btw, in case there's more then one news in
a day.
Now, the News/content_html method
should basically build a list, and transform the id into "MM/DD/20YY (#SS)
title". How do I do that? :) Being a zope-newbie, I tried the
following:
---------------
<ul>
<dtml-in
expr="Items.objectValues()">
<li><dtml-eval>
anchor_text =
":%s:%s/%s/20%s (#%s) %s" % ( id,id[3:5], id[6:8], id[0:2], id[-2:],
title)
</dtml-eval><dtml-var anchor_text>
</dtml-in>
</ul>
----------
...except id is apparently not a string,
nor something sliceable... what do I dooo? :)
Thanks in advance!
