A Class is a template for an object, you create it once and any changes affect every object. An object is an instance of a class, it contains data, properties etc. Changing that just changes the object and it is common to change the information in an object. Karl I think you are trying to change the image object in an object. The syntax for that depends upon what you are trying to do but /myobject/myimage might be the url to your image. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rik Hoekstra" <rik.hoekstra@inghist.nl> To: "Karl Munroe" <komunroe@uwimona.edu.jm> Cc: "Zope Help" <zope@zope.org> Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2000 2:07 AM Subject: Re: [Zope] My Z Class

I don't know if I get this right. The point of ZClasses is that they provide common behaviour for all instances of the class. This means that if you have an image in the ZClass, it will be available in all the instances, but if you change it 1) that can only be done in the ZClass definition and 2) this will affect all your instances.
If you want an image that is specific for your ZClass instance, you'll have to put it into the instance. You can change it there like any normal Zope object. Creating the Image object inside your instance can be done at the time the ZClass is created and you can also customize the image object at that time.
Please provide more details as to what you try to attain if I got your question wrong.
