Whats the best way to display the contents of of DTML Documents within a dtml tree?? The "tree" command is for the interactive display of hierarchical information.
Does your DTML Document contain such hierarchical information? Then, you will need a corresponding "branches" or "branches_expr" attribute. Or do you want to display the content of leaf (!) DTML documents? Then, you will need a "leaves" (or so) attribute. Take a look at URL:http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/book/chap3.html to find out more. Dieter
Thanks. This may be helpful At the moment my Zope terminology is not very good (still learning) however I'll explain what I'm trying to achieve... I'm developing a help system for a site I have already developed, it has a hiearchical nature which I replicated using Folders. Within the folders I've stored the help contents (text) in DTML Documents. When I use the tree tag to display all folders and DTML Documents I would like to display the text stored in the DTML Documents rather than just it ID - this is what I'm having difficulty doing. I would be grateful for any suggestions -----Original Message----- From: Dieter Maurer [mailto:dieter@handshake.de] Sent: 27 March 2001 10:23 PM To: Shahzad Saleem Cc: zope@zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] dtml tree Shahzad Saleem writes:

It uses the "leaves" attribute.... Dieter
