A very newbie question:

How can I refer to a subfolder object? Basically, what I am trying to do is. given a string, I want to detect whether an image with the same name as the string exists or not in a subfolder, if it does, it display the object, if not, it will show a default image. Here is what I have tried, but doesn't work:

<snip>

That doesn't work. I did find a way to do it by doing:

<!--#with images--> <!--#with global--> <!--#if name=section--> <IMG SRC="images/global/<!--#var section-->"> <!--#else--> <IMG SRC="images/global/default"> <!--#/if--> <!--#/with--> <!--#/with-->

But I think there must be an easier way to do that.

That's hard? ;) Actually, your second way is probably the prefered 'Zope' way to do it. One quick impovement I can see is that you don't need the 'name=' in the if tag: <!--#if section--> Will do what you want. The #with tag comes in very handy when you are nesting objects within object. In some applications, In some applications, I've had four or five levels of #with nesting. Any more than that, however, would mean that the problem probably needs to be decomposed some more. -Michel
