Okay well what I had in mind was something like this: I have a folder to represent website "a" and another folder to represent website "b". i have another folder with some useful scripts and yet another folder with some useful graphics / html and it would be nice for the sake of tying things together with vhost_monster and apache to create a "virtual" folder inside website "a" and website "b" folder. exampe: /[root_folder] +/porn_layout_engine +/lots_of_nice_pics_in_sequence +/entertainment_site_a +/->porn_layout_engine +/->lots_of_nice_pics_in_sequence +/entertainment_site_b +/->porn_layout_engine +/->lots_of_nice_pics_in_sequence So it would seem that response.redirect() in the case of the ZMI would work, but it's not really what I am after. I am just hoping to "external" folders as if it existed in the child folder. I could use restricted traverse but maybe there is a way to approach this issue in a uniform fashion? Maybe a Zope product that does restricted traverse and can "mimic" the type it points to. If someone can give me some pointers on how to approach this then I would not mind giving it a try. Okay so you see my dilema? Well if not at least hopefully the problem domain (although fictional) is a little more interesting. :) Regards, Joe -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Eron Lloyd Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 2:58 PM To: Joe Graham Cc: zope@zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] Zope symbolic links Joe, The most popular pattern for this is to do a <dtml-call expr="RESPONSE.redirect('/myfolder1/mygoodstuff')"> in a DTML method or Python script acting as a symlink. To my knowledge there is no way else out of the box to do this (though it would be interesting to implement). HTH, Eron On Friday 08 February 2002 04:38 pm, you wrote:
Hello, Is there a way to create "symbolic links" in Zope either by editing ZMI code or programmatically? Let's say I want to create a "pointer" to a folder I have someplace. Is there a straightforward way to accomplish this? Here is a very descriptive graphical example (hahaha).
/[root folder] /myfolder1 +mygoodstuff /myfolder2 ->link_to_mygoodstuff
Thanks -joe
