Have a look at Transparent Folders: http://www.zope.org/Members/hathawsh/TransparentFolders Cheers. -- Andy McKay. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joel Burton" <jburton@scw.org> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Friday, July 06, 2001 8:53 AM Subject: [Zope] How to force root context thru URL acquisition?

I have a simple DTML Method, Dig, which produces a sitemap by recursively digging into objectValues. I keep this at the root level of our site so that I can give it a URL like

http://foo.com/about/stencils/Dig

and get a sitemap of everything in & below /about/stencils

However, my root dir is getting very full, so I was moving some administrative tools to subfolders where they are used. I want to move Dig to the admin folder. If I do this, I can still get a sitemap of stencils, now with

http://foo.com/admin/about/stencils/Dig

(assuming that admin doesn't have an about section, of course)

However, how do I get a sitemap of the whole site? How can I put into the URL that I want to go back to the top?

a) I know I can crete a DTMLDocument that does something like

<dtml-with "PARENTS[-1]"><dtml-var Dig></dtml-with>.

I want to do this in the URL, not have to create a special method for root digging.

b) I tried creating an object in the admin folder to represent the root level. This was called "root", and contained

<dtml-return "PARENTS[-1]">

but if I try

http://foo.com/admin/root/Dig

I don' get anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

You could try making /stencils a Transparent Folder (Shane's product), then you shouldn't have to change anything.
