[Zope] tree-tag & SQL - works not properly with zope2.1.6

[Andrew Williams]

Philipp:

I am running Zope 2.1.6; here is how I have my tree stuff 
setup (now that I'm in the office and can look at my code):

Database:  
----------
Objectid as String, Primary Key
Parentid as String
---------

SQL Method:
------------
Name: q_associativeprimary

Arguments: parentid

Query parameter:
select objectid
from t_associativeprimary
where 
<dtml-sqltest parentid type=string>
-------------

DTML Method:
--------------
  <dtml-let objectid=platformadmin>
  ...html stuff...
    <dtml-call "FSSession.set('pa',platformadmin)">
    <dtml-tree id=objectid 
branches_expr="q_associativeprimary(parentid=objectid)" 
leaves=q_results_dtml urlparam="pavar=1">
      <B><dtml-var objectid></B>
    </dtml-tree>
  ...more html stuff..
  </dtml-let>
---------------

q_results_dtml simply uses the objectid to lookup some 
values in the database and display them.

Everything works good for me.  The tree is displayed and 
expand_all and collapse_all works (I patched treetag.py).  
The only thing which doesn't happen is expand_all doesn't 
expand the leaves.  When I get a chance, I'm going to look 
into that part.

Hope that helps...

Andrew

Dear Andrew!

Thanks for your answer, but the problem still remains the 
same.

Did you try out your code snippet, if yes with which zope 
version?

thanks in advance
phil
