[Zope] Embedding absolute_url in TAL Syntax

[Robert Rottermann]

That probably means, that your item does not have an absolute_url method.
>From the name of ListAllArticlesDict I assume it is a dictonary.  Then of
course the items do not have an absolute_url.
Hovever you could get at the "real" object and then use its absolute_url
like so:

<a  tal:define="obj python:getattr(here, item['id'])"
    tal:attributes="href obj/absolute_url"
    tal:content="item/title">
</a>
I assume your dictionary has an entry 'id' with the objects id.

Here is a codesnippet I copied verbatim from one of my scripts that uses
absolute_url:
<span tal:define="vlist request/vlist | options/vlist | python:[''] *
here.getNoOfArtikels()"
    tal:omit-tag=""
    tal:repeat="artikel python:here.objectValues('Photo')">
    <tr>
        <td width="100" rowspan="2" valign="top">
                <img alt="bild" style="margin-right:10"
                tal:condition="python:artikel.size() &gt; 0"
                tal:attributes="src python:'%s?display=thumbnail' %
artikel.absolute_url()">
        </td>
