Hi: In this post i report my experience with Reportlab in Zope: 1. Install the Reportlab package in /usr/local/Zope/lib/python1.5 directory 2. in the Zope directory i create a sub folder ./pdffiles and:

cd /usr/local/Zope/pdffiles su chmod 777

3. in the Extensions folder i create ####################### # mymodule.py ####################### import string from reportlab.pdfgen.canvas import Canvas from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import A3, landscape from reportlab.pdfgen.textobject import PDFTextObject from types import * def helloworld(): c = Canvas("./pdffiles/helloworld.pdf", pagesize=landscape(A3), bottomup=0) c.setFont("Times-Roman", 12.0, leading=10.0) c.drawString(100,100, "Hello World") c.showPage() c.save() ######################## 4. In Zope: External module: ID: HelloW function: helloworld module: mymodule Local File System ID: Hello patch: /usr/local/Zope/pdffiles DTML Method: ID: HelloWorld .... <dtml-call "HelloW"> <a href="Hello"> See the pdf file </a> ... My question is: How i can insert the contents of the Local File System in to HTML environment? Have a nice day Jorge
