Re: [Zope] Object Manager Product Dev Question

I am trying to make a folderish ObjectManager that can display items that exist inside it (in ZODB) as well as some items in a db. I would like the database items to appears as if they exist in the folder. Most of this is for the manage interface. I created a Product that extends ObjectManager.

Should I just override objectItems and objectIds?

When you want to use the standard ZMI, you will need to override the "object*" methods.

But I am worried about how to handle the _getObj method.

Look at how "Z SQL Methods" wrap database records into custom classes (maybe called "brains"). Do something similar in your "_getOb". -- Dieter
