I would create a DTML method that wraps the manage_addProperty method like this and view it by pressing the 'view' tab (tested): <dtml-in "objectValues(['Folder'])"> <dtml-unless reviewed> <dtml-call "manage_addProperty('reviewed',1,'boolean')"> </dtml-unless> </dtml-in> You should expand this to meet your specific needs. Of course the proper way to do things such as this is by means of a Python script, but to my disgrace I'm still a lot more familiar with DTML than with Python hth Cornelis J. de Brabander ========================================== Department of Education, Leiden University P.O.Box 9555, NL-2300 RB Leiden +31 71 527 3422/3401 brabander@fsw.leidenuniv.nl ==========================================

I want to add certain properties to objects of a certain type without having to use the web interface (there are too many of them)...
e.g. I would like to add the following properties to all folders: title_en (string), nickname (string), nickname_en (string), template (string), reviewed (boolean) and the following to all DTML-Documents: lang (string), nickname (string), template (string), keywords (string), author (string), reviewed (boolean)
A few documents and folders on the site have these properties already (is this a problem?).
And after I add these properties to all documents and folders how do I get Zope to add them to new ones automatically? I want to keep everything as simple as possible... i.e. no Z Class to worry about when upgrading, etc.
Concrete examples would be appreciated (theoretically I know it is possible with Zope considering what I have been able to do up to this point as a greenhorn!).
Thanks,
Carl.
