I'm making a Zope product (in python) where I want the users to have control over what properties that exist. At the same time I don't want the users to have to deal with having all properties in one big mess under the standard Property-tab.

So, my question is then: Should I use the PropertySheets class for this, and if yes, does anybody have any example code, becuase it's not immediately obvious how to use it.

I think it should work well with PropertyManager Usage (works for me): - Define your own edit form - Derive your class from PropertyManager - Add a propertysheet to a class instance, eg.: def __init__(self): self.propertysheets.manage_addPropertySheet('advanced', 'advanced') - Add a prop: advanced.manage_addProperty('something', 0, 'int') - Do something with your propsheet, eg. update it: adv = self.propertysheets.get('advanced') if REQUEST is not None: return self.manage_advancedForm( REQUEST, manage_tabs_message='Advanced Settings updated.', ) - Or read a property: self.propertysheets.get('advanced').something If you're having problems just shout. cheers! peter.
