i dont know for shure but does this work?: index_html = DTMLFile('dtml/manage_myclass.dtml', globals()) it should mean: index_html = DTMLFile('dtml/manage_myclass', globals()) there is no need for the dtml extension the image stuff is right but, remember that the path is relative to the modules home class MyClass(self): this means that you inherit from self ?! from OFS import Folder class MyClass(Folder.Folder): try this - i think that you have to inherit from some zope object and add this object via the zmi or via python good luck the ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean-François Ménard" <menard.jean-francois@hydro.qc.ca> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2001 6:45 PM Subject: [Zope] ImageFile in python class

Thanks Marc for your response!

But... There MUST be a better way to publish an image in a python class?

Here is what I would like to do:

class MyClass(self): """ Class example """

image = ImageFile('www/image.gif', globals()) index_html = DTMLFile('dtml/manage_myclass.dtml', globals())

def __init__(self, id, title): """ Initialization of my class """ ...

How can I use the "image" property in my "index_html" dtml file???

I tried:

<dtml-var image> give me a broken image.

Then:

<img src="<dtml-var absolute_url>/image>

Broken image again...

I looked at the code in OFS/misc_ , with no luck...

Any help would be VERY appreciated... I'm stuck on this problem for _too_ long now... : /

Thanks!

It's unclear what you're actually trying to accomplish.... are you: 1. trying to create (instantiate) images for general use in zope (e.g. your python method is creating a bunch of stuff like a template) 2. trying to create a zope object which contains images (somehow, doesn't that sound like a folder? well, it could be a new datatype, like JPicture) 3. trying to create a special type of image object? for 1., consider making a template folder somewhere, and a script to copy the whole folder to the new place and rename it.... for 2. or 3., perhaps take a look at the guts of the JPicture product, which takes Image and extends it so the object can contain two images
