I'm trying to find/write a method that will choose a random image from a folder (easy, using the random how-to) But I also want to display the caption for the image, which is a property of that image.

This method:

<dtml-var expr="_.whrandom.choice(objectValues('Photo'))"> <dtml-if caption><dtml-var caption></dtml-if>

presents me with a random photo, but no caption. <dtml-let photo="_.whrandom.choice(objectValues('Photo'))"> <dtml-var photo> <dtml-with photo> <dtml-if caption>....</dtml-if> </dtml-with>

This does not work with a "Photo" from the ZPhoto product. Anyone know why? It grabs the caption from the folder containing the Photo (which I created for testing this) If I use the standard "Image" it works beautifully, and should work for my purposes. -- ----------------------------------------------- Kevin Worth <kworth@engin.umich.edu> Computer Systems Specialist II and Adjunct Lecturer Department of Materials Science and Engineering University of Michigan
