-----Original Message----- From: James W. Howe [mailto:jwh@allencreek.com] [...] I get an img tag for the image associated with my object. What I want to be able to do is generate my own tags so as to include caption and attribution information in a standard format. How can I do this?

Overload the __str__ method. Unless there is some other product or ZClass someone has made that allready does this, you will need to create a Python base class and override __str__ there.

It's not a bad idea to have a P Base class anyway.

Where is the best place to learn how to write my own Python Base class? I know the basic Python syntax for creating new subclasses, but I'm not sure how this all works in the context of Zope. For example, which directory should I put my new class file in? Should it just go in my products directory? Do I need to do anything special to make it work as a base class for a ZClass? Are there standard things which should be "imported" into my .py file to make things work with Zope? Is there a simple example of this that I could look at somewhere? Thanks. James W.
