I only tested this with 2.0.0, I don't know about 1.10.3.

<dtml-var standard_html_header>
  This will list all object ids in the current folder<br>
  <dtml-in "ZopeFind(this())">
    <dtml-var "_['sequence-item'][0]">
  </dtml-in>
</dtml-var standard_html_footer>

ZopeFind accepts the following parameters:

    def ZopeFind(self, obj, obj_ids=None, obj_metatypes=None,
                 obj_searchterm=None, obj_expr=None,
                 obj_mtime=None, obj_mspec=None,
                 obj_permission=None, obj_roles=None,
                 search_sub=0,
                 REQUEST=None, result=None, pre=''):

obj is the object to start looking from (in our example, this()) and is
the only required argument

The next 8 arguments are find terms, for example, if an object has an id
you specify with 'obj_ids', it will be returned.

search_sub means recursivly descend into sub folders.

REQUEST is, as allways, the request object.

result and pre are used by the recursion machinery and should not be
diddled with.

ZopeFind returns a list of two item tuples.  The first item is the
object's id, the second is it path *relative to the 'obj' argument*.

Now that I explained all that, _someone_ can volunteer to write a
How-To.
