Shane/All,

Anybody using the symlink product?

It seems to me it uses namespaces in the wrong order. Imagine the hierarchy below:

Root Folder1 doc1 Folder2 symlink1

Now let's assume that Folder1 has a property 'copyright', and also that Folder2 has a property of the same name.

At the moment the 'copyright' from Folder1 is used in preference to the 'copyright' from Folder2 when viewing the symlink. Does this seem right?

Anybody got any views, suggestions etc.

This occurs because currently, symlink allows the object to retain its acquisition context for security. If you change the line below... v = ob.__of__(parent) to this... v = getattr(ob, 'aq_base', ob).__of__(parent) ...then you'll get the effect you're looking for, but if you allow others to add or modify symlinks, you just might have a security problem.
