[Zope] WISH LIST - idea of new, DTMLRelation object

[Tino Wildenhain]

Hi Jaroslav,


perhaps you want to use <dtml-with rootfolder> ...navigation.. </dtml-with>

?

Rootfolder could be the object you want to be the root (of course)
or in case of ZopeRoot, you get it via REQUEST.PARENT[0]

However, before beating the dead horse, you should consider
replacing your routine with a python script, which could
also use ZCatalog in place of ObjectValues() - this saves
Memory and time since not all Objects have to be activated.

This approach would also help you to go the way from
DTML to ZPT which is recommended.

Greetings
Tino

For your
