hi!

I'm new to zope. i'm developing a page that needs to search for files inside the site. following instructions on the web on how to use zcatalog, i was able to make a simple search engine. It showed the results that I needed. My problem is how do I make these results, say the ID, point to the object it refers to? Can anyone help me. Thank you!

this question was just discussed yesterday... please send no HTML-mails. cheers, maik -------------------- Sven Rudolph wrote: <dtml-in MYZCATALOG> <a href="<dtml-var absolute_url>"><dtml-var title_or_id></a><br> </dtml-in> that does not work if you haven't stored the metadata for absolute_url and title in your ZCatalog...;-) another approach would be: put the current object from the ZCatalog on the namespace: <dtml-with "getobject(data_record_id_)"> <a href="<dtml-var absolute_url>"><dtml-var title_or_id></a><br> </dtml-with> This would result in a little performance loss because you have to wake up each matching object just to get the url and the id.
