[Zope] Searching File-objects in a Folder

[Jens Vagelpohl]

hi richard,

to iterate over a list of e.g. File objects in a folder named myFolder you
could do this:

<dtml-in "myFolder.objectValues(['File'])">
  Found file id <dtml-var id> with name <dtml-var title>
</dtml-in>

the objectValues function takes a list as argument, so you could look for
more than one type:

<dtml-in "myFolder.objectValues(['File', 'Image'])">
.....

the ZQR (Zope Quick Reference) is a good place to look for documentation,
it's at http://www.zope.org/Members/ZQR

> The file <dtml-var file> does NOT exist
