Here is the code behind url. Hopefully Outlook Express won't mangle it beyond recognition.
<snip> Thanks Mike! Apparently there is more to url() than just a call to absolute_url(). Could I trouble you for the source of the creator() external method and, if it happens to be more than just "<dtml-return bobobase_modification_time>", the source to the date() external method as well? The idea of adding external methods at the top of a tree, in order to add methods to pre-existing meta_types for enhanced cataloging is a concept that never occurred to me... part of the Zen of Zope, I guess. I'd really suggest this concept be added to the Zope documentation, or perhaps as a TIP or HOW-TO. BTW, I've been collecting little tricks and tips from the mailing lists and I'm about to apply them to the FlexFAQ zproduct and create a public "How do I..." brief response guide. All items would be strictly kept to that phrasing and short. I keep notes from the questions/hurdles I encounter as I develop for Zope, and realize that others may need them as well. I was going to put it on my own web page since the FlexFAQ product is not installed on Zope.org, unless you'd like to give me a little space/access rights to a /Members/FAQ/ folder? ;-) Or you can wait until I do it on my own site and inspect it/decide then. -Jeff Rush
