[Zope] Starting a search from the correct folder
I have some code which here:- > PARENT TITLE OR ID SUB-OBJECT TITLE OR ID which automatically generates links to a number of folders which is exactly what I want. Understanding that Zope could do something like this has taken me quite a bit of time, although I still don't understand how this code works. What it actualy does is list the folders in the current folder and then allows me to select one which generates a subsequent list. What I'd like to do is skip the first list. If I want to generate a list of folders in say the 'groups' folder, how would I change the code above? -- 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 )

You are aware that you will not get a list (but a tree) when you look down from some starting point? When you are ready to look up (in the hierarchy), then obj.aq_inner.aq_parent is the hierarchy parent of "obj". -- Dieter ___ 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 )

But Dieter, can you elaborate on what you mean? Isn't the result from objectValues() a tuple [which would be a "list" in most languages]. Do you simply mean that the Folder objects may contain File, Document, Image or Folder objects, recursively? If not I'm not sure I follow.

I have problems with the terminology which Zope uses, but I think you understand what I meant. > When you are ready to look up (in the hierarchy), then > > obj.aq_inner.aq_parent > > is the hierarchy parent of "obj". Well that would be useful if I understood what you meant.

This construct returns the *hierarchy* parent vs. the *acquisiton* parent.

I looked and saw numerous broken links but no sample code. It's only sample code which actually creates any meaning to many of these explanations. > -aj > > -- 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 )

Isn't the result from >objectValues() a tuple [which would be a "list" in most languages]. The poster described his aim *very* vaguely -- by an example that can be interpreted in different ways. I concentrated on the "PARENTS[...]" part of the example. It could mean that the poster is interested in part of a path but it unhappy with the point where the path starts. Now, if I choose a point and look upward, I see a single path, however, when I look downward, I usually see more than one. >Do you simply mean that the Folder objects may contain File, Document, >Image or Folder objects, recursively?

I know now that I did not understand what you meant... To get the subfolders of a folder, you can use its "tpValues" method.

We are on completely different wavelengths: I do not understand your questions because they are wrapped in (irrelevant) examples. An you do not understand my answer * first, because it is not an answer to your question as I did not correctly understood this * second, because I use abstract terms and hate examples larger than necessary. Had you simply asked: how can I get the list of a folder's subfolders, my answer would have been "folder.tpValues()" and both of us could have been happy -- Dieter ___ 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 )
