Peter, you can change this in the Python file lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py here: def manage_importObject(self, file, REQUEST=None): """Import an object from a file""" dirname, file=os.path.split(file) if dirname: raise 'Bad Request', 'Invalid file name %s' % file file=os.path.join(INSTANCE_HOME, 'import', file) if not os.path.exists(file): raise 'Bad Request', 'File does not exist: %s' % file change the line that says "file = os.path.join(INSTANCE_HOME, 'import', file) to the location you'd like the file to be imported from. the INSTANCE_HOME variable points at the root dir of the zope install. Change it to something else... for more info, read the Python docs on "os.path" at http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-os.path.html peter be wrote:
Is it possible and how to change the folder that the Zope interface use for importing zexp files?
I "host" friends on my Zope site, but I can't let them have access to my import folder which is in C:\Program\Zopesite\import At the moment my friends have to email me their zexp files, if they for example want to upload something they've been working on locally.
Can I not edit the line where the Zope source code says that it expects zexp files from. Ex. From: importfolder = C:\Program\Zopesite\import To: importfolder = D:\otherdomain\or\host\folder Or: importfolder = "http://www.hostfriends.com/zopeimport"
Ideas?
