Hi,
As a Zope newbie I'm still not entirely sure about how to capture the URL as
Zope traverses the tree.
For instance, my site called with :
mysite.com/members/ian/preferences/10
"members" is a DTMLMethod or Document. What I want to do is trap the URL
once it has entered "members".
So inside "members" I want to do things like :
1. Get the next part of the url ("ian") and run an SQLMethod using this as a
parameter (calling SQLMethods I understand).
2. Get the part after that, "preferences" and pull in my "preferences" DTML
page from /templates/preferences, possibly passing it the next part of the
url "10" as a parameter to that DTML page.
The conceptual problem I have is that DTMLMethods/Documents don't have a
parameters tag like SQLMethods do, so I don't see how I can "trap" parts of
the URL like SQLMethods do and use them internally in my Method/Document.
I know I keep asking this type of question, please bear with me 'till I get
it!
