We have a folder called /home in the root of our site, for our users' home directories. If you browse to /home/joel, there's my site. If you browse to /home/joel/foo, and I have no resource foo, you should get the standard error message. (Which, without any work, you do! :-) ) However, if you browse to /home/fooperson, I'd rather you got a message that said "Sorry, no user" and listed our users, than having you get the standard error message. So far, I have the following code: <dtml-comment> Handle errors. If they're looking for a user that doesn't exist, eg /home/foo show a "No Such user" message. If they're looking in an existing directory, but there's no such a document, or, for all other Zope errors, do the usual thing. </dtml-comment> <dtml-if "error_type=='NotFound' and URLPATH2==''"> <dtml-var standard_html_header> No Such User! <dtml-var standard_html_footer> <dtml-else> <dtml-var "PARENTS[2].standard_error_message()"> </dtml-if> The URLPATH2='' checks that you are looking in /home/xxx. If you're looking for /home/joel/xxx, URLPATH2 != '', and you get the else clause. The PARENTS[2] bit is trying to say "show the standard_error_message that's up the acquisition chain from this one", but failing miserably. PARENTS[2].standard_error_message w/o () gives me the *source* of the error message, w/ () doesn't work, and gives me the hard- coded-in-sourcecode error message, not the one in my root directory. Any ideas? Thanks! -- Joel Burton, Director of Information Systems -*- jburton@scw.org Support Center of Washington (www.scw.org)
