[Zope] LocalFS and <dtml-tree>

[Aseem Mohanty]

Hi ,

I have a LocalFS instance that gives access to a folder on my disk. Now 
I would like to display the contents of any desired folder in the tree 
style on a page.

The code that I have is:

<dtml-let tree_root="ex_files_storage[REQUEST.folder]">

<dtml-tree Name=tree_root>
  <dtml-var getId>
</dtml-tree>

</dtml-let>

This unfortunately does not display anything, just a blank page.

I also tried the <dtml-tree> tag to be like this:

<dtml-tree Name=tree_root branches="fileValues">

that kind of works in that I only get  list of all folders in the 
"REQUEST.folder" directory without the + signs that allow you to expand 
and see if  the folder has any sub-folders, even if they exist... just a 
list of ids of folders in the requested folder

the reason i tried it the former way first is that LocalFS has the 
"tpValues" function defined, so I asssumed everything would be great.

What am I doing wrong here?? How can I get a tree view of the contents 
of the folder in LocalFS??

Finally will the dtml-tree view show individual files in the folders or 
do I have to specify the leaves parameter and write my own stuff to show 
that??

TIA
AM
