I had a problem similar to yours, so I wrote this DTML method named "is_hidden". <dtml-comment> Return true if the current folder should be hidden from the public. Obsoletes (by inclusion) the noindex property. A property was hard to use, because ZClasses implement properties differently. Now that this is a method, it can be overridden in any folder tree. </dtml-comment> <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role(['Manager'])"> <dtml-return "0"> </dtml-if> <dtml-if "hasProperty('noindex') and noindex"> <dtml-return "1"> <dtml-else> <dtml-return "0"> </dtml-if> -- Loren

I'm using 2.3.2. I've got a dtml-method, index_outline, to display folder contexts for dynamic index_html pages. It had included the a dtml-if statement <dtml-if "_['id']=='index_html'"></dtml-if>, to prevent the index_html files themselves from displaying in the file list.

It occurred to me that I had other files and types of objects that I didn't want to show in my index_html, so I'd be better off using a property (index_hide in this case) that I could set for individual objects. However, when I've tried to modify the above dtml-if statement for a boolean index_hide property, it doesn't work.

What's the proper syntax for that? A value of true for index_hide should prevent it showing.

Thanks!
