- Where is misc_/sample/item?
In the sample product, Product.py defines # Specify a relative URL for the icon used to display icons: icon='misc_/sample/item' In the MailHost product, MailHost.py defines icon='misc_/MailHost/MHIcon' Where are these things located? I couldn't find a directory named "misc_" anywhere, nor could I figure out how to get at any such beasts from within the management interface. thx, Skip Montanaro | Mojam: "Uniting the World of Music" http://www.mojam.com/ skip@calendar.com | Musi-Cal: http://concerts.calendar.com/ 518-372-5583

In the __init__.py for the MailHost product, a misc_ dictionary is defined, and one key maps 'MHIcon' to an ImageFile object. I'm not sure why it's done through a dictionary like this; why not just do icon = ImageFile(...) and point to just "icon"? -- A.M.

I wonder about all the extra traversal as well. Seems to complicate the implementation.

Zope defined a sub-object of the top-level object, misc_, which has a sub-object for each product. Each product sub-object has subobjects for each of the keys defined in the misc_ dictionary in the product __init__.py. This provides a mechanism for creating product-dependent instance-independent objects that are web accessable.
