What I meant to ask was: could anyone give a rationale for why it isn't possible to move product "instances" around?
I'm afraid I'm still not understanding you. You can copy and paste products. But products can only live in the Products folder. This restriction is due to the fact that Products are more like genetics than environment. A product (currently) affects an entire site, not just a particular part of a site. Having said that, I can imagine having products in the future that affect only part of a site. Functionally, this would be useful, however, logistically, it is rather complicated. (snip)
Understood. Given the recent ZClasses developments, is there an overview of how ZClasses differ from products and when the two technologies should be applied?
Products are about packinging and defining constructors. Classes are about defining behavior. When you want to package a bunch of things up or define how things get created, use a product. When you want to define a new kind of thing, use a class. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@digicool.com Python Powered!
