[Zope] mxm Product

14 Feb 2002

      Hi,

I stubled into a strange problem, when I tried to start use the
mxm-Product, which is created to help the creation of new Python-based
products. I followed the example on
http://www.zope.org/Members/maxm/HowTo/easyProduct/ and created mxmItem.

It worked -- execpt that my own index_html or summary files are never
used. Meaning the output of view is allways the standard output that
mxm-product provides. 

Below is my the code I have. In www-directory I have the index_html.dtml
and summary.dtml-files.

Zope 2.4.3 and Python 2.1.1. Any help or ideas where could the problem
be? Untill then I better start my product from scratch ,-(
