1)Folders names are directly related to string fields in a MySQL database which use spaces between words (eg New York), but folders names don't use spaces (eg NewYork). How can I skip spaces from database fields to make them refer to these folders (eg New York --> NewYork)?
Here's what I'm using to transform spaces to '_': path = string.translate(path, string.maketrans(' ', '_')) This is only invoked on file upload. If you're doing it a lot, I'd just create the translation table once and stash it in a member variable. If you're doing this from DTML, the following untested code should be a clue: <dtml-let table="_.string.maketrans(' ', '_')"> ... <dtml-let fname="_.string.translate(name, table)"> ... </dtml-let> ... </dtml-let> Better check that maketrans and translate are in the version of the string module available for DTML...
2)Using LocalFS, can I do something like <dtml- var "localfsObject['<dtml-var par1>'].['<dtml-var par11>'], where par1 and par11 are folder names (after skiping spaces)?
It'd be more like: <dtml-var "localfsObject[par1][par11]"> I.E. inside the quotes you're in Python and par1 and par11 are assumed to be variable names. The quotes would mean you were looking for folders named "<dtml-var par1>", etc. Note that you neither need nor want a '.' between the subscripts.
