using OrderedFolder to navigate objects in a folder
Has anyone used OrderedFolder to create Previous and Next links to navigate between the ordered items (I need to do this with zClasses)? I am attempting to read Python source files for the first time, and dont see how to do it. I just see the functions to - 'move_object' in the folder - 'get_object_position' A BETTER WAY? I am searching for a better way than, -looping through the folder -indexing the objects -figuring which object is current -create links to the previous and next in the sequence This seems so raw and not very OO, compared to much of the power I have found in Zope and Python so far... MY IMAGINATION! I would simply like to do something like... <a href="<dtml-var orderedObject[self, -1]>"> Previous </a> <a href="<dtml-var orderedObject[self, 1]>"> Next </a> Or even better, make navigation objects. (like the arrow-buttons.) So standard nav could look like...or whatever you want. <<First <Previous Next> Last>> <dtml-var orderedObject[0, 0]> = first <dtml-var orderedObject[0, -1]> or [_.len, 0] = last Am I in Fantasy Land?? ;) Is there a "better way"? Any suggestions would be appreciated. -Trevor
