[Zope] Maybe a stupid newbie question - forcing an in loop to the Root Folder's context.

[Trevor Toenjes]

ahhh, the magic of acquisition.
You need to restrict the lookup to the root.
There are a couple ways to do it.
Use a <dtml-with rootFolder> to alter the namespace to look-up where you
want it to.
Check out the online how-to for dtml-with.
other options include restrcting traversal using PARENTS.
