I'd like to split the output of a ZSQL query across different instances of a page in the same fashion as zope.org does with ZCatalog output, but I can't for the life of me find any documentation on how it's done. Does anyone know the magic incarntations or where the documents are?
Look at the "in" tag's batching features.
Which was the only place I didn't look. Doh!
Or for something with a gentler learning curve:
http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Guides/ZSQL
Go there and read the section on "Creating Search Interfaces." Zope will magically create a search query form and a table-formatted batching output method on the back end, based on an SQL Query method of your own design. So read that, do that, and then look at the methods it creates. I found it very useful in getting up to speed on how to roll my own batching DTML methods.
Yep. Worked for me; it all made sense after reading the output of a search interface. Thanks to all who replied. John.
