If you are creating a structured template, you might want to create a product using a ZClass. I did something very similar. Then I programmatically add the image that they selected in the data entry form. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Cameron [mailto:tom@mooball.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2001 11:09 PM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] images as properties of a document. I am wondering how I might create a property of a DTML Document that is an image. In the standard implementation of a DTML Document, the properties can be strings, lines, text etc. I would like to create a new type of document with the ability to create a property that is an image and upload it to the page as you edit the property. Can anybody suggest how I would go about this? I have not created a product before, but I am game to try. I am really looking for some hints and tips. Perhaps an existing product that is similar that I could copy or subclass. As a further explanation, I am trying to create a very structured template page. The end user simply edits the properties of the page and I create the templates and how it renders by modifying the index_html method. I have looked at ZPT and they dont seem to do exactly what I want.

I have done this the other way around: start with a ZClass derived from Image and add the text properties (in the property sheets) and the display methods (such as index_html). Set the default View to whatever method fits your needs. Create an additional view/method for editing that includes the string/text properties and an (optional) file upload for the image. -- Robert Segall Apsis GmbH Postfach, Uetikon am See, CH-8707 Tel: +41-1-920 4904
