Hi! I have a hierarchy of sites, each site may or may not have own pics, css-es, etc. If a a subsite hasn't got own logo for example, it uses its parents'. It's ok, that's what acqusition for. The problem begins when I want the subsites more structured, ie. I want all pictures to be in 'pics' subfolder of each site. let's see: /root_site/pics/ /root_site/subsite1/subsite2/../subsiteN/pics/ When I create 'pics' folder in one of my subsites, I lost the content of the formal 'pics' folders (overriding the parent's folder itself) and I only see the pictures of the lastest 'pics' folder. That's not what I want:) It would be nice to see all stuff in a hierarchy above, putting only the custom images to 'pics' of each site. Is there a way (or a special product) to do this?

There used to be a special product called Transparent Folders. Those got rolled into the CMF's Skins Tool. I have a little custom product to do this now, but it's rolled into a load of other stuff. Are you comfortable writing a Zope Python Product? cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

Oops. Pardon the previous message... bleedin' mail client got me.
From: Chris Withers There used to be a special product called Transparent Folders. Those got rolled into the CMF's Skins Tool. I find the Skins stuff rather over-the-top for what I want to do, a Transparent Folder (assuming I've guessed correctly what it does) sounds like an interesting and useful thing.
I have a little custom product to do this now, but it's rolled into a load of other stuff. Are you comfortable writing a Zope Python Product? I am, and was looking at this same behaviour a few days ago. I have a structural change as a workaround, but to be able to override stuff on the sort of basis that Gál László was asking about... would be rather helpful.

Hmm, well, I have a product which I haven't used in test much. If it works out okay, would you be interested in having a look? It's very hard coded, and designed for my own specific needs... Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
