I have a situation where I want to ask a Folder (actually a ZClass) for a
subset of the objects it manages. I want to do this from a DTMLMethod
which exists in another folder.
For example, suppose I have the following:
FolderA
NewsArticle1
NewsArticle2
FeatureArticle1
FeatureArticle2
NewsPage (a Folder)
index.html (a DTMLMethod)
FeaturePage (aFolder)
index.html (a DTMLMethod)
I would like to do something similar to the following in the NewsPage
index.html method:
<dtml-in allNewsArticles>
<dtml-var Title>
<dtml-var Teaser>
</dtml-in>
To make this work I would use a URL similar to this:
http://foobar.com/Root/FolderA/NewsPage
FolderA would implement the allNewsArticles method which would answer the
collection of all contents in FolderA which are a "news article" (probably
based on the meta-type of the object).
My question is this, what would the code have to look like in
allNewsArticles to make this work?
Thanks.
