I've also toyed with ideas related to this, though I wasn't looking at the file extension -- since my editor is Vim, not DreamWeaver. (When I have to work with designers who use DW, I just use ids that end in '.htm'.)
Jean -- The connection w/Flare is interesting. I'm going to try learn more about this and post some thought soon. As a general point, you certainly can name objects '_.htm'; however, this is so anti-Zope in my mind. Often, a web page will start as a single DTML document, such as "prices" /site/ Folder prices DTMLDoc but within a few months, I might have several supporting ZSQL methods that find prices, display prices, etc. What usually happens is that I'll turn prices into a folder and make its index_html the old "prices", as such: /site/ Folder prices/ Folder index_html DTMLDoc get_prices ZSQL ... I could change all my links from "/site/prices.htm" to "/site/prices/index.htm", but this can be a pain, and there's a lapse until search engines and bookmarks catch up. Having a folder named "prices.htm" seems like a bad idea. In my mind, naming a zope object w/o an extension is the best idea. It's just difficult to edit. -- Joel Burton <jburton@scw.org> Director of Information Systems, Support Center of Washington
