When a web page is displayed the objectname is prepended by the directory component. I assumed that Zope did that, but I guess I was wrong. What I really need is to change this line:- tal:attributes="href python:opt[0]" to something like:- tal:attributes="href '/mysite/links/' python:opt[0] but I can't figure out how to prepend python:opt[0] with '/mysite/links/'.

I would like to see the link for org-1 being generated as http://www.mysite.org/links/org-1 Check the "HREF" attribute of the links in the generated HTML, and see what you are getting there; unrooted paths are appended (by the browser, not Zope) to the directory component of the source URL. For example: Second Link in a page at: http://mysite.org/links/org-1 should equate to: http://mysite.org/links/org-2 [If you're still having problems, be explicit on the HREF and the URL you are seeing.] And have you tried simply replacing "org-1" in the File with "http://www.mysite.org/links/org-1"; ?

[Zope] Generating links from a list
The other week someone provided me with this snippet of code for generating links from a list containing a description and a link:- This works fine, but now that I have used it in a template I'm finding that the link is being prepended with the location of the new object after selecting the original link. ie invoking the code above creates a link such as:- http://www.mysite.org/links/org-1 After selecting org-1 the new page displays as:- http://www.mysite.org/links/org-1/links/org-1 Is there something in the code above which generates the full URL? My links list consists of simple lines such as org-1,First link org-2,Second Link org-x,Another Link How do I prepend a hardcoded path to org-1 instead of what is getting generated? I would like to see the link for org-1 being generated as http://www.mysite.org/links/org-1 irrespective of the context. -- John ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
