Okay, I've posted a proof of concept. Please keep in mind that this could be dangerous in terms of security, although I've done a couple of things to make it safer. Also, there's currently a buglet in acquisition that makes it so that you can only perform the actions on the symlink which "anonymous" is allowed to do. http://www.zope.org/Members/hathawsh/Symlink/index_html Shane Andre Schubert wrote:
Hi,
i have read the two messages about Soft Link, and i tried to work with it, because it it very important for my Product. The problem is that the Soft Link class won't work and i don't know why. I use zope 2.2.2 and python 1.5.2. root: -myproductfolder -SoftLink to testdtmldoc -testfolder -testdtmldoc
In myproduct i have the following function, the class SoftLink is the same as of Shane Hathaway. I wan't to add a SoftLink in myproductfolder which links to testdtmldoc. When i call the function manage_addSoftLink nothing happens??
def manage_addSoftLink(self, REQUEST=None): ..... obj=SoftLink('Test/link') self._setObject('TestSoftLink',obj)
Whats going wrong, or did i missunderstand something? Who can help?

[cut] Try this. I failed to account for the fact that sometimes the object is not in context and therefore the linked object will not be found.
def __of__(self, parent): try: ob = self.restrictedTraverse(self.path) except: # We're not in context or the object was not found. Default to self. return self else: return getattr(ob, 'aq_base', ob).__of__(parent)
Keep in mind, though, that there are all kinds of security implications. Someone will have to think hard about security before this is viable.
OTOH perhaps it's really simple. Try this as the last line instead:
return getattr(ob, 'aq_inner', ob).__of__(parent)
This way, the security context might be retained. If it doesn't work, try changing the last line to:
return ob.__of__(parent)
