I don't know whether absolute_url should be accessible via URL, but here's a way to get the same thing (almost): add a script at the root of your site called "AbsoluteURL", with the body "return context.absolute_url()". Then just use "http://example.com/foo/bar/AbsoluteURL" instead of "http://example.com/foo/bar/absolute_url".
sure, I can do that... i'm just surprised it's not on by default. Here's another argument: Image.tag is callable via URL. absolute_url is not. Inconsistency is confusing, especially to newbies. if I had the time, I'd go through the API Reference and catalog methods that are callable by URL and methods that are not, and try to make some sense of it. I suspect it would be pretty random ;-) For now, I think I will file a feature request & patch in the collector. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's OCTO FLAGELLA FIGHTER!
