hello all, i have a set of documentation related to routers which would be interesting to both our isp division as well as our network support division. since each division has their own folder aquisition would not work for easy inclusion of text via includes. so my question is: does zope have an equivalent to a unix symbolic link? regards, webman --------------------------------------------------------------------------- webman | _ beehive GmbH | ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) berlin, Germany | - against HTML email X http://www.beehive.de | & vcards / \

Why not?

No, but we plan to add RDF-style reference properties that should (at least partially) accomplish this. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@digicool.com Technical Director (888) 344-4332 Python Powered!

maybe i'm wrong but here is an asciigram of what i'm talking about. Zope / Docu router_txt Netadmin routerstuff_html ISP how can i include the text in router_txt in say routerstuff_html via aquisition if Netadmin and ISP are not on the same level (not a subdirectory of Docu)? as far as i know zope won't let me do tags that look like this <!--#var /Docu/router_txt newline_to_br--> in relevantdocs_html.

cool. what's RDF? real data file? cheers, webman --------------------------------------------------------------------------- webman | _ beehive GmbH | ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) berlin, Germany | - against HTML email X http://www.beehive.de | & vcards / \

as far as i know zope won't let me do tags that look like this <!--#var /Docu/router_txt newline_to_br--> in relevantdocs_html.
<!--#var "_.render(Docu.router_txt)" fmt=newline_to_br--> Note however that if Docu.router_txt contains an <!--#in -->, then some args aren't passed correctly to the lookup function. They have to be re- expressed in router_txt. I think this is a bug, but I haven't submitted it yet.

Will RDF reference properties solve the kinds of situations I described in the'OO paradigm' thread? Michael Bernstein.

They might be *a* solution. Reference properties would act alot like Unix symbolic links. You could also create the moral equivalent of hard links, by simply doing Python assignments or ObjectManager._setObject calls. Or you could use some sort of clever psuedo container as is done (in different ways) with Z Tables or SQL Methods.
