[Zope] How to check for a folder's existence and create it if it doesn'texist?

[Paul Zwarts]

Hi!

Perhaps something like this:

<dtml-in expr="objectValues('Folder')">
   <dtml-if id==2001>
       Matches
   <dtml-else>
       <dtml-call "nameofFolder.manage_addFolder('titleofFolder', 'something
else?')">
   </dtml-if>
</dtml-in>

You'll have to check if that actually works, because somehow it seems wrong...
but anyhow, It should be enough to go on....

Im pretty much a newbie, but I had alot of help from the list today, so I try
to return the favour : )
Cheers,
Paz
