Subject: Re: [Zope] have problem with managing objects within a external product
Dear AJ,
Thanks, but I still have some problems with creating a Folderish Object product
I imported Folder from OFS.Folder but I wasn't able to add any products like File, Folder, Image with in my folderish object.
my code looks like this-->
class ShpProjectClass(Item, Folder, Persistent, Implicit, CatalogAware):
id = 'ShpProject'
meta_type = 'ShpProject'
manage_options = (
{'label':'Contents', 'action':'manage_main'},
{'label':'Properties', 'action':'manage_editShpProjectForm'},
{'label':'View', 'action':'index_html'},
) + Item.manage_options
def __init__(self, id, projectDesc = 'Test Project'):
""" Initialize a ShpProject Object """
self.id = id
self.projectDesc =
projectDesc
def getProjectInfo(self):
""" print a ShpProject Object Info """
return 'This project is called: ' + self.id + '. This project is about ' + self.projectName + '.'
def edit(self, projectDesc, REQUEST=None):
""" edit a ShpProject Object """
self.projectDesc = projectDesc
if REQUEST is not None:
return self.index_html(self, REQUEST)
##Web Methods
index_html = HTMLFile('DTML/index_html', globals())
manage_editShpProjectForm = HTMLFile('DTML/manage_editShpProjectForm', globals())
InitializeClass(ShpProjectClass)
what else am I missing? and is using ObjectManager unsave in anyway?

For folderish content you derive from ObjectManager or for being on the
safe
side from OFS.Folder
from OFS.Folder import Folder
class MyType(Folder):
meta_type= 'MyType'
.....
IntiializeClass(MyType)
