Ausum, It may be time to re-think your site structure. I have a news type site as well and here is how I handle it (my way... not saying it is by any means the best or right way). Instead of storing your news items in a series of folderish objects, maybe create folders for each section and then create a news item ZClass with the article date or goLiveDate as the ID. zopesite:8080/sports/2000.10.17/newsobjectid_htm Then do some dtml to pull out the ones you want on the main "sport/thislist_htm" page. Better yet use ZCatalog to search for the range of news items you want to appear in the list. Hope this helps!! Jamey Sintz

Few days ago there was this same question although remained unsolved. This is the case for a news site:

News objects are within section folders, within day folders, within months, and within a year folder. Just like this, at the root:

http://zopesite:8080/2000/October/17/sports/newsobjectid_htm

If I were at, ie, root/2001/January/thislist_htm , how can I list(and retrieve) sport news appeared from October 29th to November 10th in year 2000? Is it time to look for a database?

Thanks in advance,

Ausum
