Hi Folks, I am trying to create a nested Zope product, and have trouble accessing properties from the container object... - I have a class MyFolder that extends Folder. - I have a class MyObj that extends (CatalogAware, SimpleItem, PropertyManager) - Class MyFolder is meant to contain several instances of class MyObj. I am able to create instances of class MyObj properly, and even have them be contained within MyFolder (using the inherited _setObject method of MyFolder). My problem is that I cannot seem to get manage_changeProperties to work on instances of MyObj at the time of addition (ie: just after I do the _setObject call). I have similar problems referencing methods/properties of MyFolder from within the methods of MyObject at the time of creation. However, after the addition has taken place, I can then through the ZMI, access or manipulate those same (and previously inaccessible/supposedly-non-existent) properties in MyFolder from within MyObj instances. What am I missing here. Is there anther step besides calling _setObject that I need to do, when the container is also a custom class in my product? Do I need to define my own __getattr__() for MyObj instances? I have tried to grep through the source code for various products, but am not seeing an obvious solution. Thanks, Roy Mathew. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business $15K Web Design Giveaway http://promotions.yahoo.com/design_giveaway/
