that's definitely a 'bad' thing :-(
Why is that bad? A custom object management UI ('Postings' and 'Moderation' tabs) seems appropriate for Squishdot. I wouldn't want to manage postings from the standard management interface.
Hmmm... it does mean you can't cut, copy or paste postings though, which can be a pain sometimes :-S
No, I'm creating two different applications, an image archive and a book catalog. Both need to handle large numbers of items. The standard management interface does not scale to the number of objects involved from a usability perspective.
Look at Shane Hathaway's BTree Folder :-)
I'd like to know how to prevent the objects being listed in the 'Contents' tab, while still allowing other objects (like DTML methods) to be added there.
Well, all the postings are actually stored in SquishSite.data, so they're not actually 'contained' in the SquishSite object, hence they don't show up in the contents tab. A bit of magic in SquishSite.__getitem__ makes the postings URL traversable. cheers, Chris
