I've done a similar app where there's an archive of files (zope File objects) that I'm doing stuff with in another place. I happily used:: return self.unrestrictedTraverse(self.actual_path) in a class that looks something like this:: class VirtualFile(SimpleItem): def __init__(self, id, actual_path): self.id = id self.actual_path = actual_path def _get_actual_object(self): """ return the real object this refers to """ return self.unrestrictedTraverse(self.actual_path) def get_size(self): obj = self._get_actual_object() return obj.get_size() thomas desvenain wrote:

hello,

i need to have the same object at different places, more properly, i need to refer an object at different places, in different folders, of my zope application

(i use formulator, and i would like that when i modify properties of the "same" field in different forms, all the others are updated)

is it possible ?

thanks
