I have the following problem: The web pages of our institute has a menu frame (please don't throw anything at me about the frames - I do not like it but now I have to cope with it) with links. Those links have the following structure:

<a href="URL1"> target="target-frame1">text1</a><p> <a href="URL2"> target="target-frame2">text2</a><p> <a href="URL3"> target="target-frame3">text3</a><p> ...

I'm looking for a more clever solution than I could imagine (as a quite beginner in Zope).

Create a ZClass called MenuItem which has 3 properties (urlText, targetFrame, displayText). Inside a folder called Menu (or whatever) allow only the creation of class MenuItem instances (objects). Your editors should be allowed to instantiate how many of those they want (you should probably use some kind of object Id generation; dont let the editors choose the ids themselves). The only other item in this folder should be a DTML method with something like this <dtml-in "objectValues(['MenuItem'])"> <a href="<dtml-var urlText>" target="<dtml-var targetFrame>" > <dtml-var displayText> </a> <p> </dtml-in> If you put this "Menu" folder on the root of your Zope, you can call the menu anywhere with a simple <dtml-var Menu> C U! -- Mario Valente
