[Zope] string to objectname conversion ?

2000-08-07 Thread Gijs Reulen

Hi

I would like to list all objects in a folder. No problem there. However, I
want to use the function/method universely so I need to pass the name of the
target folder; as a string is the only way I can think of (formatted as a
url).
I tried several things in DTML and studies the DTML Ref, the mailinglist and
the How-To's very hard but did not have the Enlightment yet :-(
Is it possible ?

Example:
dtml-in "PARENTS[0].objectValues()"
dtml-var icon
dtml-var id
dtml-var title
dtml-var meta_type
dtml-var bobobase_modification_time fmt="%m/%d/%Y"
/dtml-in

But then instead of PARENTS[0] some parameter, for example:
/method?folder=foo

You looked in almost all the right references.  (o8
The one more that you will find indispensible from now on is the Zope Quick 
Reference.  Go now, read it, save it, love it. (o8


 Example:
 dtml-in "PARENTS[0].objectValues()"
 dtml-var icon
 dtml-var id
 dtml-var title
 dtml-var meta_type
 dtml-var bobobase_modification_time fmt="%m/%d/%Y"
 /dtml-in

 But then instead of PARENTS[0] some parameter, for example:
 /method?folder=foo

You want the getitem method of _

dtml-in "_.getitem(sObjectName).objectValues()"
...
/dtml-it
