Hello mailing-list, I'm developping site to display the contents of different files, in different formats. Zope should be used as front-end. The files are checked out form another system on the same machine. This means: 1. I need access to the server file-system (LocalFS?) 2. The name of the file is determined dynamically during the user interaction 3. The format of the file (pdf, html, gif, ...) is determined dynamically, too Unfortunately I have nothing but problems with it. I am completely in the dark. 1. To display a file from the local file-system, I created a dtml-file with the following contents: <dtml-var "localFS['tmp']['kaese.pdf']"> The problem is, that the file is displayed in ascii-format, not in pdf. 2. Created the file in python product code self.display_page = File('C:\\tmp\\kaese.pdf', globals()) Zope displayed the problem ------------------------snip snap ----------------------------- > Resource not found > Sorry, the requested resource does not exist. > Check the URL and try again. > Resource: File.File instance at 01F8422C ------------------------snip snap ----------------------------- Is it possible to create a object to publish (like DTMLFile, ImageFile, ....) without defining the format (or type) in advance? Can please, please anybody give me a hint? Do I use a completely wrong way? It might help me, if you can help me by a part of my problem. Thank you very much in advance, Ulla Theiß.
