Hi; I have the basic use of catalogs and searching worked out... I can create indexes and metadata and make a form to search for and link to various things. My problem now is that I find a lot of objects that are just "parts" of the real documents. So, my links end up being to the bare content, rather than to the content wrapped up in my website. Is there a how-to somewhere which goes a bit farther than the zope-book in how I should be addressing this? A couple of ideas I had were: - create custom objects for any new section - add a property on "parts" These will probably work, but... :o) Thanks for your time. _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

How do you dinsinguish between 'parts' and 'content wrapped up'? cheers, Chris

The solution heavily depends on how you "wrapped up the content in your website". The usual way is to present bare content through a template. In this case, when you have a link '<a href="url_to_your_content">" to your bare content then "<a href="url_to_your_content/template">" is the one for the presentation through "template". However, there are arbitrarily complex schemes how to "wrap up" content (all usually work with tempates and scripts ;-) ). You need to tell us more about your wrapping such that we can provide some hints... Dieter
