I'm a zope newbie.
I just installed on a windows 95 box and on a linux 2.0.something but I can't get anything with tree working (other stuff seems ok).
Hadars' second sample app doesn't work for me (the tree part produces no output).
Even the minimal
<!--#tree--> <!--#/tree-->
doesn't produce output (tried this with the second Habar example after creating the "sub-folders").
I get the same behaviour on windows as linux.
I must be doing something wrong. Clues please ?
I bet your using a DTML Document. Try using a DTML Method. The reason why the tree tag renders nothing for the DTML Document is because DTML Documents are not containers of other objects, they are objects to hold DTML content. DTML Methods are (and this is the suble thing) *methods* of the Folder object that contains them. They are not 'objects' in the same sense of the term used for DTML Documents (I can hear Jim saying now "*everything's* an object"). Because Folder objects *are* containers, the #tree tag used in a Folder's DTML Method will render the contents of that Folder. Hadar's example is a little outdated, it is based on 1.9, in which DTML Documents didn't exist, and all Documents were DTML methods. -Michel
Andy btw: Zope looks really good to me (when I can get over these glitches).
