My object subclasses ObjectManager already. The only way I figure to get round this is to add to the constructor some code which clones the Image in the class and adds it to the object itself. I am dubious as to whether I can achieve this in DTML -- it's looking like I need an external method to achieve it.
Have a look at: http://www.zope.org/Members/Zen/tips/tip_ZCatalogInZClass It shows how to add ZCatalog and ZSearch instances programatically - the same technique should also work for images.
I can conceive of a need for ZClasses which subclass ObjectManager to come "pre-loaded" with objects, kind of like a default population. As I said above, I guess I can achieve this by putting them in the class and then cloning them as part of the constructor.
