[Zope] Accessing properties

[M. Adam Kendall]

Why use a property for this?   The way I've done this in the past
is to do this:

<dtml-in "objectValues(['Folder'])" sort=title skip_unauthorized>
      <dtml-if "title != ''">
        <a href="<dtml-var absolute_url>"><dtml-var title></a>
      </dtml-if>
</dtml-in>

Basically, if there is a title, display the folder.  If there isn't
a title, then don't display it..

HTH,
Adam
