You can simply refer to self.ProductA if you inherit from SimpleItem (it includes implicit acquisition). You can also acquire the REQUEST object that way, for instance.
Thanx, now I know for sure :) My last mail was a little bit long, because I wanted to be sure everybody would understand it, but I forgot the essence of my problem :) Instead of saying self.<id>, which gives me the object I want by id, I want to do something like self.getObject("Special Folder"), where I want to find the first instance of a specific type, for example the (made-up) product "Special Folder". Is this also possible finding it by acquisition?
PS. Cool, 'nother Martijn. Remeber, Martijn Faassen is The Other Martijn (even if he claims I am), I'm The Original Martijn. Not sure what we'll call you though... This has nothing to do with the Dutch conspiracy, as it doesn't exist. Well, at my company we also have three Martijn's, so it's not a dutch conspiracy, but a martijn-conspiracy :) They call me 'mart' over here, so that would be fine.
Nice to see another Dutch Web agency use Zope for Content Management. I never was able to convince my previous employer of the advantages, as "everyone wants Java".. Jeps, everyone ones java with all his disadvantages. After a review of different platforms and development tools we decided to use Zope, because the philosophy behind it and the logic it uses is brilliant! We are building a CMS on top of zope, so every coffee-lady can make her own website :)
BTW, You are working for Zope Company now? martijn jacobs eastsite www.eastsite.nl
