Kern Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2001 1:47 AM To: Tim Moore; zope@zope.org Subject: RE: [Zope] multi-level acquisition (or the "images" folder problem) You can also use my CascadingFolder instead of a normal Folder: http://www.spoke.net/randy/CascadingFolders.tgz Given Tim's diagram:

/ | +-/images | | | +-img1 | +-/index_html | +-/folder | +-/images | | | +-img2 | +-/index_html

...and edit the tag in /folder/index_html to say

<dtml-var "images.img2"> <dtml-var "images.img1">

If folder.images is a CascadingFolder, both of these dtml-var statements will work. -Randy
