[Zope] Checking for a boolean property value in DTML

[complaw@hal-pc.org]

Okay, I moved all of this code into a DTML Method.  Note, the DTML Method itself
was called form a DTML Document.  One of things I want to do is list other DTML
documents that satsify a certain criteria in when someone wants to view the
first DTML Document.

Here is the code that works (in a DTML Method called from a DTML Document)...

<dtml-if expr="title == 'Mental Steps Doctrine'">
  Past first if<BR>
  <dtml-in expr="PARENTS[0].objectValeus('DTML DOcument')" sort="decision_date"
reverse>
    Past the in<BR>
    <dtml-if expr="document_type == 'case'">
      In the case.<BR>
      <a href="&dtml-absolute_url;"><dtml-var title></a><br>
    </dtml-if>
  </dtml-in>
</dtml-if>


Thanks to everyone who helped.
