I wanted something to split up long lists of items into shorter lists and make links to the pages (kind of like the page numbers on a google search) I saw in the docs that dtml provides this... but I could not get that to work. It never found the batch-start-index inside of the previous-batches Anyhow, i found a script in the zope cookbook, but it was two pages long and it was way more than i needed. So I made this: #simplePager # paramenters: # seq=None, page=0, size=10 # req = context.REQUEST url = req.URL if req.has_key('start'): start = getattr(req, 'start') else: start = 0 starts = range(1, len(seq)+1, size) p = 1 for s in starts: print '<a href="%s?start=%s">%s</a>' % (url, s, p) p += 1 return printed It works in conjunction with the dtml sequence stuff as shown in the help pages... like this: <dtml-in list_thumbnails size=10 start=start previous> <a href="&dtml-absolute_url;&dtml-sequence-query;start=&dtml-previous-sequence-start-number;">Previous Page</a> </dtml-in> where list_thumbnails happens to be another script which just returns a list of objects (thumbnail images in this case). You might use objectValues there instead... _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
