[Zope] Design/DTML question
Hi everyone, I'm working on a Web page for our local school board. I'd like to create a table that would display links to past board meeting minutes. The table would look like this: (Note: dates are bogus) +---+ | Meeting Minutes | | | | Monday, Jan. 10 Monday, Mar. 7 | | Tuesday, Jan. 24 Monday, Mar. 20 | | Monday, Feb. 7 Monday, Apr. 5 | | Monday, Feb. 27 Tues., Apr. 19 | | | |1999 | 2000 | 2001 | +---+ By default, dates for the current year would be displayed, but clicking on the years at the bottom of the table would display those dates. Right now, I've got the dates stored in a TinyTable. I can iterate through that list and generate the links, but I can't figure out how to display the table in two columns. dtml-in meetingDateTable trtddtml-var meeting_date/td/tr /dtml-in will print the dates in a single column, but how can I iterate through and refer to two different dates in one dtml-in pass? (Does that make sense?) The second thing I'm tring to figure out is how to make the year links at the bottom generate the new table of dates from a different TinyTable. Maybe I should use the same TinyTable for all of the meeting dates and pull out whichever year I need when the table is rendered. I'm also wondering if I should implement these meeting minutes and agendas in a ZClass. At first it seemed like this would be too simple to bother with, but now I'm wondering if a ZClass would be a better approach. I'd appreciate any comments. -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.k12.mn.us/ | http://www.zope.org/ W.

The if statement only evaluates to true the first time through the loop. I agree that the dates must flow down, so don't I need to have some way to do the following: table dtml-in meetingDateTable tr tddtml-var meeting_date/td tddtml-var meeting_date[some later index]/td /tr /dtml-in /table It's the [some later index] part that would seem to be the bugger. Doable? Perhaps this would be a perfect application for a PythonScript? -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.k12.mn.us/ | http://www.zope.org/ W.

This doesn't seem to work. The if statement only evaluates to true the first
time through the loop.
Because the objects in the loop had no 'id' attribute? In any case, here's
a complete tested example:
dtml-var standard_html_header
dtml-call
"REQUEST.set('meetingDateTable',['first','second','third','fourth','fifth'])"
table border=1 cellpadding=4
tr align=left valign=top
td width=50%
dtml-in meetingDateTable
dtml-if "_.int(_['sequence-index'])*2==_.len(meetingDateTable) or
_.int(_['sequence-index'])*2==_.len(meetingDateTable)+1"
/tdtd width=50% !-- moved to next column --
/dtml-if
dtml-var sequence-itembr
/dtml-in
/td
/tr
/table
dtml-var standard_html_footer

From: Timothy Wilson Or, if you insist that dates flow down the columns like I do, you could use this untested revision of Max's solution: Oh typical spine reaction I didn't read the dates, just assumed that it was left/right as usual. This untested code might work then: (The no-break tag nobr is really underestimated. It can save loads of table tags.) table tr tdnobr dtml-if "_['sequence-index'] = (_['batch-size']/2)" dtml-var meeting_date /dtml-if td tr tr tdnobr dtml-if "_['sequence-index'] (_['batch-size']/2)" dtml-var meeting_date /dtml-if td /tr /table Max M.
