Yes, that's what I'm looking for. Will take a look at manage_options features, guess I can create a simple python method. Thanks! Albert Mark James Adams writes:

the ZMI doesn't have a tab called "widget". Not in any of the 2.2.x or 2.3.x or 2.4.x Or in other words, I've never seen one.
The zope management interface has a nice tab folder "widget". Sure would be nice if there was a <dtml-tab>
What would a <dtml-tab> do? Writing DTML tags is easy if you search for the How-Tos on it and there's plenty of examples to download and follow.
I believe Albert is thinking of the management tabs in general. By widget he means a general method of making such an interface feature.
The management tabs are generated from the manage_options tuple that is defined in Python ZClasses (they are done automatically in ZClasses made in the ZMI though the View tab).
For example, in one of my Python classes:
manage_options = ( {'label': 'Meta', 'action': 'manage_metaInfoEditForm'}, {'label': 'View', 'action': 'index_html'}, )
If I call <dtml-var manage_tabs> in one of my management screen, then the contents of mange_options will be rendered as tabs. I don't know if there is any way to use <dtml-var manage_tabs> outside of the management screens. Obviously manage_tabs only needs a tuple of dictionaries to render the tabs, so there may be a way to make it render an arbitrary tuple, not just manage_options.
Hope this helps.
