hi! how do you make zope update the catalog automatically whenever a file has been uploaded?

Some options for you: 1. Use the CMF, CMF files already do this 2. Write a python script which adds the file and then indexes it, make this python script the target action of the file upload form. Something like:: form = context.REQUEST.form context.manage_addFile(id=form['id'], file=form['file']) file = context[form['id']] context.Catalog.catalog_object(file) context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect('/some/page') 3. Create your own File class that subclasses OFS.Image.File and mixes in the Products.ZCatalog.CatalogPathAwareness.CatalogAware class. #1 and #3 are more complete solutions, but #2 is more customized. hth, -Casey
