Hello, Jeff. I'm sorry for my lack of clarity; I'm a zope newbie. What I need to do is store ZPTs on the local filesystem, and have them treated as page templates when they are browsed. As it stands, they are served as the text of the source. If you have LocalFS installed, you can see what I mean by trying two things: 1) try to add a Page Template to a localFS directory: Error Value: Cannot add objects of type 'Page Template' to local directories. 2) copy the text of a ZPT into a file ending in .zpt in the directory on the filesystem, and try to 'view' it. I see that in the edit menu of the localFS instance (as well as in the source of the module), I have the ability to add new types to the type map. I have tried inserting an entry for .zpt, but nothing I've tried will get it to treat these files as page templates. Does this all make sense? Thanks for your help! blossom
