Site Navigation Table

Site Navigation Table

Two Python scripts (which means two table styles), some pictures and a css file.
That is what this product contain.
(This is more a how-to than a product.)

But you better look at these pictures:
DemoStyle 1Style 2

To make this scripts to work you must:

  • Add property of root folder iconspath to keep the path to your icons.
    I use LocalFS to point to a folder with gifs.
  • Add a property of root folder bk_color which keep #5566aa or #99bbff if you want; the background color.
  • Add a lot of folders with title
  • Add a lot of DTML Documents with title
  • Add a lot of WikiPages (no title - you don't need title)
  • And add a lot of what ever you want, but set a title
  • The Python script will
    for i in self.objectItems(items):
    and you call the script like that:
    <dtml-var "navtable1(PARENTS[-1],Home,/home.htm,[ZWiki Page,'DTML Document'])">
    or <dtml-var "navtable1(PARENTS[-1],Home,/home.htm,['Folder'])">
  • PARENTS[-1] is the root of your site
    PARENTS[0] is the current folder.
    use PARENTS[0] when you want to display a site map (nav table) from current folder.
  • You need a title to your documents.
    If that document don't have title - that means is not for public (not yet) so will not be listed on nav table (WikiPages are special, you know)
  • Each document with title should have a property called ico which keep the icon image filename.
    When the script build the nav table, it will append at iconspath the value from ico and will display a picture.
    iconspath=/z/icons/
    ico=book.gif
    If you don't set an icon the script will use 'Leaf.gif' instead. Be sure you have this file.

ret=ret+'"> <a href="'+o.absolute_url()+" if o.hasProperty(tar): ret=ret+'target="'+o.tar+'" ret=ret+ class="map2" >+title+</a><br>'

ret=ret+&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br&gt;

return ret

Parameters

#
#t    =title of table
#a    =link adress title
#items=list with zope items
#f    =1 for table with width=100%
#
Sample: 
<h1>Nav table 1</h1>
<dtml-var "navtable1(PARENTS[-1],Home,/home.htm,[ZWiki Page,'DTML Document'],0)">

<h1>Nav table 2</h1> <dtml-var "navtable2(PARENTS[-1],Home,/home.htm,[ZWiki Page,'DTML Document'],0)">

Sort items

You may sort items into your generated table with:
lista=self.objectItems(items)
lista.sort()
for i in lista:

instead of using this :

for i in self.objectItems(items):



That's all! Tell me if you have questions.
