[Zope] Re: Why doesn't this loop over files?

[Andy Smith]

Hi All,

The DTML Example folder has been updated. I've incorporated the fix below,
but the reason that new documents were not showing up is that the page was
looking for the wrong 'meta_type' for objects in the subfolder. Up till the
last release, documents had a meta_type attribute of 'Document', but now
documents either have 'DTML Document' or 'DTML Method' as their meta_type.

Tony's problem was that Zope was correctly respecting the meta_type of the
'old' Document objects included with the demo, but any new documents added
afresh were being created with the 'DTML Document' or 'DTML Method'
meta-types, which were falling through the objectValues 'sieve'.

Here's the new version...

Cheers,

Andy.

<!--#in "['Document','Folder', 'DTML Document', 'DTML Method']"-->
<!--#with subFolder-->
<!--#if "objectValues(_['sequence-item'])"-->
   <H3>Objects of type <!--#var sequence-item--></H3>
   <TABLE BORDER=1>
   <TH>Id</TH><TH>Title</TH>
      <!--#in "objectValues(_['sequence-item'])"-->
        <TR><TD><!--#var id--></TD>
        <TD><!--#var title--></TD></TR>
      <!--#/in-->
   </TABLE>
<!--#/if-->
<!--#/with-->
<!--#/in-->
