Right, BTree folders wise, what I'm looking for is to have, in effect two Contents tabs for one BTree folder object, one showing all contained items of a particular meta_type (with the BTree Folder's interface to deal with lots of objects), and the other containing all other items in the folder (DTML Methods, Gifs, etc, with a normal folder's interface).
What's the best way to do this?
If you're using ZPatterns anyway, you might like to look at PlugIns. The idea with PlugIns is that a PlugIn manager delegates the handling of objects it contains to its various PlugIns. Typically, a PlugIn will claim objects based on the object's meta-type. PlugIns appear in the user-interface as separate tabs. See the Customizers and Data Plug-ins tabs in a Folder w/ Customizer Support instance for an example. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net
