Re: [Zope] Render DTML Document title inside another DTML Document in parent folder
Chas, Thanks. It works. Now I want to generalize it. I will create more folders inside FolderA and FolderB. Each newly created folder will contain at least one DTML Document that calls Doc1. Thus Doc1 has to determine which Doc from which folder dynamically. The goal is to use make Doc1 uses its own properties to render common results & uses caller's properties to render specific results. Any idea how to do that? Thanks. Regards, Ping

The hierarchy looks like this: FolderA Doc1 FolderB FolderC Doc2 FolderA contains DTML Document Doc1 & FolderB. FolderB contains FolderC. FolderC contains DTML Document Doc2. Doc1 is called from Doc2 using <dtml-var Doc1> In Doc1, I want to display Doc2's title. I tried <dtml-var title>. But it rendered Doc1's title instead of Doc2's title. How can I render Doc2's title?

I use a variant of this often to automatically generate navigation menus : <<dtml-in "FolderA.objectValues()"> <<dtml-if "meta_type=='Folder'"> <<A HREF="<<dtml-var BASE1>/<<dtml-var id>"><<dtml-var title><<BR> <</dtml-if> <</dtml-in> You can extend that to calling methods or whatever it is you have to do. look up objectValues in the documentation though it may be better to go check loads of examples in the archive, chas
