Hi there,=20

i have a bit of a problem with the dtml-tree tag.

I have a folder structure like this (excuse bad ASCII art)

---root
        ---Main_Sections
                                ---Software
                                               ---Folder1
                                                            ---item 1
                                                            ---item 2
                                               ---Folder2
                                               ---Folder3
                                 ---Hardware
                                               ---Folder1
                                               ---Folder2
                                               ---Folder3
        ---TMLDiscussion
        ---images
        ---Phonelist

Now, i want to have dtml-trees built for each section (Software, =
Hardware etc.) and have them display in the index_html method of those =
folders. i.e. in the index_html method of 'Software', i want a tree that =
looks like this:

+Folder1
           +item 1
           +item 2
+Folder2
+Folder3

When i put this code into the index_html method of the software folder:

<dtml-tree>
<dtml-var id>
</dtml-tree>

I get nothing. No output, no errors, absolutely friggin nothing.

When i put identical code into the index_html method of the =
Main_Sections folder, i get exactly what i would expect to see, i.e.

+Software
             +Folder1
                        +item1
                        +item2
             +Folder2
             +Folder3
+Hardware
             +Folder1
             +Folder2
             +Folder3

What is going on here? Surely this *should* work!?


Thanks for any help

-Pete
