I'm trying to create an icon zclass for use in navbars. I've created a zclass containing string attributes link, alt_text, and image (as a url). I've tried various ways including python script to get the icon to render as

<a href="..link.." alt="..alt_text.."><.. img tag ..></a>

to no avail.

I'd prefer to keep the calling syntax as brief as possible (otherwise, what's the point of the class?). Anybody have any suggestions (or existing products)?

This would be a nearly trivial product to write in Python, just create a class subclassing OFS.Image.Image, add a property to store the link (use the _properties attr) and override the tag method to return the code you are looking for. Then modify the existing image add form (in lib/python/OFS/dtml) to add a field for the link. Take a look at the existing image code (lib/python/OFS/Image.py) to see how it works (specifically the tag method). hth, -- | Casey Duncan | Kaivo, Inc. | cduncan@kaivo.com `------------------>
