[Zope] Confera question, and calling sub documents of a peer folder

Fri, 5 Feb 1999 11:52:04 -0400

Two questions:

1. Will Confera be included in the Zope release at some point in the 
future? Is it available as a pre-release now? Is there a list of pre-release 
items available? I noticed the UserDb pre-release and that got me 
thinking. I really could use Confera

2. My root folder is getting rather jammed full of stuff, so I moved a 
database lookup and two formatting documents to a sub folder called 
'Documents'

From another subfolder 'Airports', I want to "call" 
Documents.DocumentList

DocumentList (a document) does an  to 
return some data that is formatted by Documents.DocumentFormat.

The problem is that, regardless of where DocumentLookup is located 
(either in Documents folder or in /), the lookup returns false (no entries) 
when Document.DocumentList() is called from another folder.

Specifically,

Airports/index_html does this:

<!--#var "Documents.DocumentList()"-->

And in Documents.DocumentList, I have

<!--#if DocumentLookup-->

...

<!--#else-->

Search returned no results

<!--#endif-->

I always get "No results" when loading Airports/index_html, but it does 
return results if I load Documents/DocumentList from my browser.

This happens even if DocumentLookup is located in /

Is it possible to "call" documents in peer folders this way? If so, what is 
the correct syntax?, or is this a bug?

ps.

returns the DTML, which makes 
sense.

We must come down from our heights, and leave our straight 
paths, for the byways and low places of life, if we would 
learn truths by strong contrasts; and in hovels, in forecastles, 
and among our own outcasts in foreign lands, see what has been 
wrought upon our fellow-creatures by accident, hardship, or vice.
