Hi David, I think the design is flawed from the outset and should be changed. Basically I was trying to have my cake and eat it too with this one... and the solution (iterating through the folder class's manage_options and slapping on my own was goofy anyway...) but there's really no need. I'm moving MarketItem to a ZClassable object anyway where this can by much more simply done with 'Views'. The thing I haven't figured out is how to make the MarketItem ZClasses available only inside a MarketItemsFolder. I'm thinking I may have to make ZClasses for everything, but define the 'enclosed' ZClasses inside the enclosing ZClasses. Also.. ZPatterns may affect this as well. I'm looking into making all these things 'DataSkins' so that the actual instance data can be kept in a very flexible way, but in ZODB by default. ZPatterns looks really cool.. I feel sometimes like a kid looking at a magic trick... sure that once I really get into it I'll understand, but somehow not sure that it might *really* just be magic after all. ;-) -steve
