Hello, if the answer to my question is already available somewhere, please let me know... I looked around quite a bit. I am trying to add a filesystem directory view (Zope 2.7, Plone 2.0), and can't figure out how to add new directories to the list of directories available to choose from. Could anyone clue me in?

For security reasons you must "bless" directories as available for use as FS directory views. To do this use this code in the initialization of a product:: from Products.CMFCore.DirectoryView import registerDirectory registerDirectory('dirname', globals()) This will register the directory relative to the package directory of the product. AFAIK you can also specify absolute dir paths as well. After you do this, that directory and all of its subdirectories will be available when adding FS directory views. -Casey
