I'm not sure if I'm interpreting you correctly, but you seem to want:
http://server.com/people/<something>
...to pass the string "<something>" as a parameter to a ZPT, while:
http://server.com/people/<something>/<somethingelse>
...is served normally?
Yes, exactly.
If you do it exactly this way, it is going to cause you pain the moment you try to manage /people, since your '/people/manage_main' will get handed off to dispatch.
And that's a good point. Here's something that came to my mind: I create a new portal_type, the PersonFolder. It behaves like a regular (Plone) folder, but when accessed directly, it does my thing rather than display index_html or use its own handler to generate e.g. a folder listing. Would this be possible? It seems like it does, because I can redefine the view action of a Plone folder to something like 'dispatch', and then that folder calls dispatch rather than index_html. I am trying it, it looks promising. Maybe you guys have a better idea... -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" net@madduck keyserver problems? http://keyserver.kjsl.com/~jharris/keyserver.html get my key here: http://madduck.net/me/gpg/publickey i am willing to make the mistakes if someone else is willing to learn from them.
