Looping through a folder's contents...
I would like to loop through the contents of a folder, and the contents of the subfolders of that folder. I know I can do this to a singular level by doing something like: <dtml-in "subfolder.objectValues('Folder')"> <dtml-var title> </dtml-in> Should give me a list of the titles of all the subfolders of the folder called "subfolder". So, once I get there, how do I loop through the subobjects of each of those folders? In other words, I have a subfolder inside of the folder called "subfolder" and I want to see the contents of that folder. How do I do it? -- IBM Pollyanna Principle: Machines should work.

What would the "Recurse_Subfolder" method do? On Mon, Aug 21, 2000 at 04:12:05PM +1000, Andrew Kenneth Milton wrote:

I'll give you the general case for 'all' folders:-
Make a Method... Recurse_SubFolder.
<dtml-in "root.objectValues('Folder')"> <dtml-in "_.range(depth)"> </dtml-in><dtml-var title> <dtml-var "Recurse_SubFolder(root=this(),depth=depth+1)"> </dtml-in>
<dtml-var "Recurse_SubFolder(root=subfolder, depth=0)">
You can obviously expand this to also take a 'type' for objectValues, and pass the namespace etc.

Hello oops!.. I just tried this and now I am getting error messages saying "not authorized" to access 'objectValues' - stranger yet seems to have broken my login to Zope - so I am locked out from even getting back into the site to fix ..hmm this can't be right. I had put the Recurse_SubFolder method at top level, hoping to use it liberally through the site. I then made a call to it from my site's root index_html Any ideas how to restore my Zope?
