[Zope] Finding PARENTS in an external method.

[michael angelo ruberto]

hi, Max

i tried this and it works. the output is pretty ugly if you return it to
Zope though. maybe someone knows how to clean it up.

def index(self, PARENTS, REQUEST):
n = PARENTS[0].objectItems(['File','DTML Document','Folder','ListMate','DTML
Method'])

	n.sort()
	#n.reverse()
return n

this example just sorts the list and sends it back. you can remove the
sorting code. i named this method index_list and called it as such:

<dtml-var "index_list(PARENTS, REQUEST)">

ps: if you run this example look at the HTML source for results page. you
should see something interesting like this:

('C_document', <DTMLDocument instance at 012E44E0>),

I have an external Method. How do I call PARENTS[-1] from it?
in dtml it would be: <dtml-in "PARENTS[-1].objectValues('Folder')">

I have tried something like:
    self.PARENTS[-1].objectValues('Folder')

I have also checked if PARENTS get passed to the method like:
    myMethod(self, PARENTS=None):

To get a list of the root's Folder's, but no luck.
