The script routine doesn't have to be located in root. traverse_subpath is populated using the names of all subfolders that occur after the script file name in the URL. So if your URL is: http:/my.web.site/folderA/scriptA/folderB/folderC, then scriptA will receive a traverse_subpath variable (in REQUEST namespace) that contains ['folderB', 'folderC']. Note: this will not work if there are any other >scripts, DMTL methods etc in the URL after 'scriptA'.

I figured out what I was doing wrong. Apparently, the script needs to be called *before* the folders. I had put it at the end. Okay, that >works, so now how do I incorporate it? I'm running into trouble here. I've rewritten the following line several times, and several times gotten >it wrong. Perhaps you could steer me right?

<div align="center" tal:define="mycontext python:`here.traverse_subpath`" tal:condition="here/hasSearchEngine(mycontext)">

Your page template just needs to construct a URL (that your users can access - eg. in an html link) that contains the name of the script file at the beginning of the URL (ie. before the target subfolder(s)). The script file will have to use the traverse_subpath contents to build a string which you can then use to access the required folder: targetFolder = string.join(traverse_subpath, '/') #you will have to play with this to get the right target folder for your app aFolder = context.restrictedTraverse(targetFolder) searchRes = aFolder.Catalog(<some search string here>) <do something with search results here> Jonathan Any questions?
