[Zope] Using standard_html_header to display banner

Mon, 29 Apr 2002 05:42:20 -0500

Sorry.. I misunderstood your problem. In that case use a DTML Document, 
and use PARENTS[0] to get to the folder:

e.g.,

sub-folders:
<dtml-in "PARENTS[0].objectIds('Folder')">
<a href="<dtml-var sequence-item url_quote>">&dtml-sequence-item;</a><br>
</dtml-in>
