If I understand what you are trying to do correctly, then all you need is to have your product's icon property be a method that returns the path to the correct icon (Like you would normally have the icon property set to). I use this for a couple of products too. Something like: class MyClass(.... normal stuff ...): """ """ def icon(self): """ """ if self._i_am_broken_: return "misc_/MyProduct/MyClassBrokenIcon" else: return "misc_/MyProduct/MyClassNotBrokenIcon" You've got to love python :) Adrian... -- Adrian Hungate Try Zope - http://www.zope.org - You might like it.

One of the properties is the path to another Zope object. Then methods are defined like getObject(), getPath(). We use it as a way to manage news and events that show on several sites that opperate on our Zope server. It allows one group to add a news document in their folder and if another group would like that news item to show on their site they can create a reference to it. Anyway, what happens from time to time is an object is referencing another object when it gets deleted/renamed/moved and that breaks the reference. The product handles this gracefully, however I would like to have the icon change from our standard icon to a broken icon.
