[Zope] DTML parameter to Python script

[Michael Bleijerveld]

Hi Dylan,

When one of the links is pressed I need the  name of the selected link
(directoryname) for displaying the files in this directory.

Example:
- Documents
- Pictures
- Movies

How can I use a Python script to set the current directory ?

Regards.

Michael
