hi richard, to iterate over a list of e.g. File objects in a folder named myFolder you could do this: <dtml-in "myFolder.objectValues(['File'])"> Found file id <dtml-var id> with name <dtml-var title> </dtml-in> the objectValues function takes a list as argument, so you could look for more than one type: <dtml-in "myFolder.objectValues(['File', 'Image'])"> ..... the ZQR (Zope Quick Reference) is a good place to look for documentation, it's at http://www.zope.org/Members/ZQR jens ---- Jens Vagelpohl jens@digicool.com Software Engineer www.digicool.com Digital Creations (888) 344-4332 Got Zope? ----

Hi there,

For practice I want to implement WikiWiki in Zope. For that, I for one thing have to be able to see if a certain File-object exists in a Folder. What method can I use for that? I tried several from the ZQR, but nothing works. I also have trouble just to get a list of Files in the Folder. Here's a code-fragment of what I try to do in DTML:

<dtml-if "Files.getAttributeNode('<dtml-var file>')"> The file <dtml-var file> exists <dtml-else> The file <dtml-var file> does NOT exist </dtml-if> <P> A list of files: <dtml-in "Files.getChildNodes()"> Found: <dtml-var "_['sequence-item']"><br> </dtml-in>

So how do I screw up?

TIA!

RS
