I am writing a product which generates HTML pages with references to a large number of images and HTML files. I would rather not duplicate these images and files in each instance of the product, but have them reside in the 'Products' directory itself.
How can I 'publish' these files from the 'Products' directory, so that they can be found by every product instance through the acquisition process. You can not... Products are not in the acquisition path.
If your product is a Python product, then you can make the images (or other object) available as attributes of your class. Most Python products will show you how to do that (usually for editing forms). If your product is ZClass based, you can make your images available a methods of the ZClass. Alternatively, you may try either restricted traverse or "manage_addProduct['yourProduct'].yourImageId" (not sure whether these approaches work). Dieter
