[Zope-CMF] Insert path into a query URL?

[Jon Edwards]

Thanks for the solution Dieter!

In case anyone is trying to do something similar (alphabetical links at top
of page, user clicks on a letter to get all the items in this folder, that
begin with that letter), I ended up doing it slightly differently -

- customised the "doFormSearch" script, renamed it "doLocalFormSearch" and
changed the last line to

   return context.portal_catalog( form_vars,
path='/'.join(context.getPhysicalPath()) )

- customised the "search" page to call "doLocalFormSearch" instead of
"doFormSearch", and renamed it to "localSearch"

- added links at the top of the page, one for each letter, like

   <a href="search"
   tal:attributes="href
string:${abs_url}/localSearch?Type=Link&amp;review_state=published&amp;title
=a*">A</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;

There must be a way to get a PythonScript to generate all 26 alphabetical
links, but I haven't worked that one out yet! :-)

HTH

Cheers, Jon
