Hello,

I'm new to zope, and find it the best web application environment ;)

Have a little problem... Browsed thru the docs and mailing lists, but can't find any information on how can i refer to objects that are not in the acquistion path.

For example i build simple a shop, and have all shopping cart related dtml methods in /cart folder. In the cart's list method i'd like to include the icon, and other details can be found for example at /products/accessories/wallet/. Is there any way to do this?

Now I store string object id's in cart's session variables like '/products/bags/djbag'. It's the cart item's original path. I think I should be able to resolve the object from this id, but how?

There are also relations between products, like a products can be made from a list of materials, and that materials are also products. I tried to use ZCatalog to solve this, but it indexed only the current folder ( eg. /products/bags, but not the /products/materials ).

The layout:

/products/ materials/ natural1/ icon.gif, etc... natural2/ coloured/ black/ orange/ ...

bags/ djbag/ ( here i'd like to have a manually edited list of links to materials ) backpack/ ...

/cart/ list ( here i'd like to resolve object ids like /products/bags/dj ) edit ...

Your help would be appreciated,

martin

Hi Martin Are you aware of the <dtml-with> tag ? With this tag you can put a certain folder on top of the namespace. For example: <dtml-with "products.accessories.wallet"> *call methods located in the folder wallet* </dtml-with> Regards --- Flynt
