I am building a framed site using Zope and I am trying to get
functionality that after hours of reading documentation I am
beginning to think is not possible, but since what I have read is so
obscure I have decided to post a message before giving up.
The code examples below *DO NOT* work, but are being used in an
attempt to illustrate what I am attempting to do as I thought it
would work. After reading documentation for the last several hours I
am now more confused then when I started.
Given the following URL's:
http://./Files/?dir=/foo/bar/file=baz.html
http://./?section=/Filesdir=/foo/bar/file=baz.html
And the Following
/index_html - DTML Method
dtml-var FrameSet
/FrameSet - DTML Method
XXX - How can I negate this? IE. dtml-if "not section"
dtml-if section
dtml-else
dtml-call "REQUEST.set('section', '/ViewFrame')"
/dtml-if section
XXX - I do not think calling REQUEST.set() is the best way to
accomplish this. What is a better way?
dtml-call "REQUEST.set('topframe', '1')"
frameset rows="60,75,*"
frame name="title_frame" src="dtml-absolute_url;/TitleFrame"
frame name="banner_frame" src="dtml-absolute_url;/BannerFrame"
frame name="view_frame" src="dtml-absolute_url;dtml-section;"
/frameset
/ViewFrame - DTML Method
frameset rows="60,75,*"
frame name="menu_frame" src="dtml-absolute_url;/MenuFrame"
frame name="main_frame" src="dtml-absolute_url;/MainFrame"
/frameset
XXX - I can not get this to work at all. Topframe should be set or
true if the visitor arrived in the /Files Folder from the top level
frameset and /Files/ViewFrame will be loaded into the view_frame
target. If the visitor came directly to /Files and topframe is unset
or false, then I want to redirect them back to the toplevel /FrameSet
to load the top frames then display the /Files/ViewFrame in the
view_frame target and pass along dir and file from the URL query
string.
/Files/Index - DTML Method
dtml-if topframe
dtml-var ViewFrame
dtml-else
dtml-var "FrameSet(section=/Files)"
/dtml-if topframe
XXX - If this method is called from the top level FrameSet method,
how to I access dir and file from the original request?
/Files/ViewFrame - DTML Method
frameset rows="60,75,*"
frame name="menu_frame" src="dtml-absolute_url;/MenuFrame?dir=dtml-dir;"
frame name="main_frame"
src="dtml-absolute_url;/MainFrame?dir=dtml-dir;file=dtml-file;"
frame name="navbar_frame" src="dtml-absolute_url;/NavBarFrame?dir=dtml-dir;"
/frameset
Over the last few days I have tried all sorts of things to make this
work, but all attempts have failed. I am sure there is a very simple
solution that one of you Zope Gurus could quickly explain. If you
are going to respond with RTFM, the please cite specific references
in the manual. ;-)
Thanks in advance.

Jarrod Kinsley
