Subject: Re: [Zope] siblings of me,
rather than of parent
Sorry, my __bobo_traverse__ method is working,
the PARENTS stack is exactly as I would hope, with my module as the parent of
the category, rather than the root.
Here's the whole story:
/
index_html
(dtml method)
index.html
(dtml method)
category (Folder)
foo.html
(dtml method)
blah
(Module)
category (Folder)
header.html (dtml method)
weather
(Category)
/index_html:
<dtml-var
index.html>
/index.html:
<dtml-var
standard_html_header>
<dtml-if expr="meta_type ==
'Category'"> <!-- true in cases of url like
/blah/weather -->
<dtml-call expr="REQUEST.set('splevel', category)">
</dtml-if>
<dtml-with splevel
mapping>
<dtml-var header.html>
</dtml-with>
<dtml-var
standard_html_footer>
Now, what I hope to happen is that the dtml-with
would bind to the /blah/category folder, and therefore be able to find
header.html. However, somehow it's getting the /category folder instead,
which doesn't have header.html.
Anyone understand why this is
happening?
Thanks again,
-Randy

Subject: [Zope] siblings of me, rather
than of parent
My site has two main classes of objects,
Modules (and their derivatives), and Categories. A normal setup might
look something like this:
root
blab
(Module)
weather
(Category)
rain
(Category)
sun
(Category)
region
(Category)
I need to handle URLs like
/root/blab/weather. The problem is that I need weather.__of__(blab) on
the stack, rather than weather.__of__(root) on top. This is because
blab (in some cases) overrides default behaviors from root.
I thought the proper way to do this was by
adding a __bobo_traverse__ method to my Module, like this:
def __bobo_traverse__(self,
REQUEST, name):
try:
parents =
REQUEST['PARENTS']
parent =
parents[-2]
if hasattr(parent,
name):
ob = getattr(parent,
name)
if ob.meta_type ==
'Category':
return
ob.aq_inner.__of__(self)
except:
pass
return getattr(self, name)
But that doesn't seem to change anything,
although it does perform the return (and doesn't throw any
exceptions.)
Basically, I'm trying to offer my siblings as
if they were my children, so if they fail to offer something, it will be
looked for in me, rather than my parent.
Thanks,
