You are right... (I just read the SkinnableObjectManager code for a while). I found a workaround : setting a variable in the manage_afterAdd method of my object that uses container.getPhysicalPath() to compute the path I need. It looks like copy/paste/rename operations work fine, even inside portal_skins, even when copying a whole folder. What do you think ? Anyway, thanks for the quick answers so far !

Ok, object is /site_staging/portal_skins/DEFAULT/testpath.html

So 'DEFAULT' is a skin layer and 'default' a skin that includes the 'DEFAULT' layer?

When invoking it using http://myserver/site_staging/testpath.html (so I use CMF skins traversal with implicit skin=default) aq_parent(self).id returns site_staging, which looks ok to me. And getPhysicalPath() will return : '','site_staging','testpath.html'

But I really need (for some complicated to explain reasons) to get the full physical path of the object. So something returning : '','site_staging','portal_skins','DEFAULT','testpath.html'

I guess you have no chance. SkinnableObjectManager.__getattr__ removes the original acquisition context from the object. So if you invoke it as attribute of 'site_staging', the object knows nothing about its original context.
