Hi Jan Ulrich, I would use zcatalog to get an index of your DTML Documents, then get a list matching your requirements and use whrandom.choice() to get one of them at random. Regards Tino PS: its not neccesary to organize the files in folders like this. If you give them a property with date (or use bobobase_modification_time), you can even have them all in one (probably btree-) folder. --On Sonntag, 5.

Hi,

I have 100 folders

1900 1901 ... 1999 2000

and in every folder there is a folder called "Texte". Inside this folder there are DTML Documents.

Then I have this Method

,----[ textliste ] | <dtml-in expr="Texte.objectValues()"> | | <p><a href="<dtml-var absolute_url>"><dtml-var title></a> | von <dtml-var autor></p> | | </dtml-in> `----

On a contentspage I call this method using dtml-with like this_

,----[ contents_dtml ] | <dtml-with 1900> | <dtml-var textliste> | </dtml-with> | | <dtml-with 1901> | <dtml-var textliste> | </dtml-with> | | and so on `----

Now a have two questions:

1. Is it possible to use something like

<dtml-with [1900-2000]>

to get all texts with one command.

2. How can I make a random textlist. I tried to do somethine like

<dtml-with randomline> <dtml-var textliste> </dtml-with>

where randomline is the Product from phd.

Is it possible to call dtml-with with a random value so that I get a list of a random folder?

TIA juh
