RE: [Zope] How to list objects across different containers in Zope's tree?
Ausum, It may be time to re-think your site structure. I have a news type site as well and here is how I handle it (my way... not saying it is by any means the best or right way). Instead of storing your news items in a series of folderish objects, maybe create folders for each section and then create a news item ZClass with the article date or goLiveDate as the ID. zopesite:8080/sports/2000.10.17/newsobjectid_htm Then do some dtml to pull out the ones you want on the main "sport/thislist_htm" page. Better yet use ZCatalog to search for the range of news items you want to appear in the list. Hope this helps!!

Few days ago there was this same question although remained unsolved. This is the case for a news site: News objects are within section folders, within day folders, within months, and within a year folder. Just like this, at the root: http://zopesite:8080/2000/October/17/sports/newsobjectid_htm If I were at, ie, root/2001/January/thislist_htm , how can I list(and retrieve) sport news appeared from October 29th to November 10th in year 2000?

Re: [Zope] How to list objects across different containers in Zope's tree?
Thanks for the tip, James. It seems a clever approach although I must keep it for the time being. Anyway if that were the case, the question could be this one: How can I list all the headlines and summaries for all the news appeared for sports, locals and politics sections (in example) from December 27th,2000 and January 5th, 2001 ?

RE: [Zope] How to list objects across different containers in Zope's tree?
Right off the top of my head, since the sections are folder objects you
could simply dtml-in through the folders and then inbed another dtml-in.
Example (nothing fancy).
I did not include any date range stuff, but you can probably figure that out
on your own. It may be better to include a 'section' property in your zClass
and then just search your Catalog (see catalog example below for an UNTESTED
example).
dtml-in "objectValues(['Folder'])"
dtml-var name_or_idbr
!-- now use the folder id to move into the correct namespace --
dtml-with id
!-- news stories here --
dtml-in "objectValues(['newItems'])"
dtml-var headlinebr
dtml-var summarybr
/dtml-in
br
/dtml-with
br
/dtml-in
Catalog example
dtml-in "objectValues(['Folder'])"
dtml-var name_or_idbr
dtml-in "Catalog( { 'meta_type' : 'newsItem',
'section' : id,
'goLiveDate' : [ 2000/27/12 , 2001/05/01],
'goLiveDate_usage' : 'range:min:max' } )"
dtml-var headlinebr
dtml-var summarybr

Re: [Zope] How to list objects across different containers in Zope's tree?
Thanks Chris, I'll find it and download it. About the ZCatalog, I've recently tested it and I was wondering whether it's possible for its search engine to find parts of a word, maybe to have an Ultraseek-like search results page. Apparently the engine doesn't find any half-a-word. Example: Looking for "bio" won't find "Edison's biography" . Am I missing something?

Re: [Zope] How to list objects across different containers in Zope's tree?
Thank you again James. I'll test your code.
I thought there was a simpler way to list objects across containers.
Something that could list objects within the same level (starting from
the root), as if each folder at the root was a column, and its
subfolders elements of a raw.
