Thanks.  It took a bit of hackage on my part because I was calling the
subcategories DTML Method like so:





As you can see, I'm in a different name space inside the DTML method.  I
put in the REQUEST.set in the main DTML Document instead of the DTML method
and it worked like a charm.  Only pain now is that all my DTML Documents
now need to have the REQEST.set directive in them.  Not a big deal.

This worked like a charm.  Thanks!

First you can store the your url:

 

Then, when you call your method, you can test whether your
url is the current url 



The must be another way of doing this, but I can't remember. Does
someone else see how this could be done differently ?

You can set a REQUEST variable with the result of your computation:

[Zope] [Q] Generating a dynamic navigation bar...

2000-09-29 Thread Sudhakar Chandra

Background:
I have a folder with various DTML Documents and sub-folders in it.  Sort
of like:

/foo/index_html
/foo/buy_html
/foo/really_buy_html
/foo/really_really_buy_html
/foo/bar/

I am in the process of writing a DTML method to be used from each of these
DTML documents which will generate a dynamic tabbed navigation bar for the
other DTML Documents AND sub-folders in this folder.  I am envisioning a
short table across the width of the page with cells containing links to the
other DTML documents and sub-folders.

This is what I have so far:







">









Questions:

1. The problem with this DTML method is that all the DTML Documents and
Folders are represented as a link in the nav bar.  I want to build
intelligence into this DTML method to make the tab / cell for the current
document just textual (as opposed to a link).  If I am calling this method
from foo_html, I do not the "tab" for foo_html to be a link.  How do I do
this?  I'm guessing some kind of #if.

2. Currently, the TD cells of the table vary in length based on the
contents of the cell.  I want all the TDs to be of equal length.  I want to
first count the number of DTML Documents and Folders and make each TD to be
width 100/n % (where n is the number of Documents and Folders).  Any ideas
on how I can do math inside DTML methods?

Thanks.
