Walter, Try a little trick I use with _.string.split(). split() splits a string into two (or more) parts based on a delimiter. In this case, the delimiter could be any part of the URL directly to the left of /Zorba/busca/... For example: <dtml-var "_.string.split(url, ':8080')[1]"> This splits the URL into 'http://zorba.com.mx' (which you don't want) and '/Zorba/busca/Zorba/...' (which you do want). The [1] tells Zope to take only the second part, the part you want. If you plan to make this code portable incase you switch servers or use a SiteRoot, I believe (and correct me if I'm wrong) you're safer using the 'BASE0' property for your delimiter. For example: <dtml-var "_.string.split(url, BASE0)[1]"> Now, I don't know about the organizational problems that prevent you from dropping the /Zorba/busca, but I'd assume you would do the same thing, except replace "BASE0" with "BASE0 '/Zorba/busca'". I'm thinking, though, you'll eventually want to set up a separate server and a SiteRoot so that your web address will be http://zorba.com.mx/Zorba/cacharrito/prueba -- right? - T.J. <<< "Walter A. Aprile" <walter@ilce.edu.mx> 6/30 11:19p >>> Hi, more newbie questions, I am afraid. I have a ZCatalog result form that boringly forms links this way: <dtml-var "busca.getpath(data_record_id_)"> Due to the way my site is organized, the URL I get has an unwanted part at the beginning. The part is always the same size, and the same string in fact. How do I remove it ? For example, the URL is http://zorba.com.mx:8080/Zorba/busca/Zorba/cacharrito/prueba ^ and I would like to cut it here | and turn it into /Zorba/cacharrito/prueba The problem is that the URL above is still valid, but if I do another search then the same /Zorba/busca gets added, and it gets longer and longer, besides messing up my breadcrumb trail. I tried using a regular expression method, but I do not really know Python (not yet !), so it did not work. Thank you very much Walter -- Vita brevis, ars longa, occasio celeris, experimentum periculosum, judicium difficile.
