That's what mk-zprod does. Or rather, will do once I've made the interface friendlier. (If I didn't misunderstand you.)
If I have some time left at all tonight, I will make a wizard that could be the initial front-end to mk-zprod. Could you give me a short list of things you would like to ask the user?

Hm. a simple collection of questions? Certainly not. I talking of a whole mechanism, where you group input and output into contexts. From application view it would be an API, it schould work no matter if the input/ output is generated from and to HTML, WML, XML or even stand-allone GUIs. I'm thinking of semantic groups of input, output and types and ranges and default values including naming conventions. Regards Tino

Could you give me an example of how this would work?

Well, that sounds more like what SmartObjects tries to do. But I am still confused. As Erik wrote later, can you give examples....? Regards, Stephan -- Stephan Richter CBU - Physics and Chemistry Student Web2k - Web Design/Development & Technical Project Management

Product-name A list of images (like dtmldoc.gif and such) If you want to set a default Catalog name If you want nice redirection after adding objects if you want to include standard headers in your dtml files a list of classes class name class type class icon name catalogaware or not (or may just methods to index/reindex th object) a list of attributes attribute name attribute type attribute default value a list of subclasses subclass name subclass type subclass icon name a list of attributes .... a list of subclasses .... ... For example.
