Re: [Zope] symbolic links or invisible objects..?
Geoffrey L. Wright writes: ... symbolic links ... If your content is simple, i.e. does not contain URL references, then symbolic links can easily be emulated with DTML methods. Suppose, you have the following structure: A/ A/A1/ A/A1/a1 .... A/A1/an A/B1/b1 .... A/B1/bn and you want "A/B1/bi" be a symbolic link to "A/A1/ai", then "bi" would be the following DTML method: <dtml-with "A.A1"><dtml-var ai></dtml-with>. This will not work, if "ai" make a URL reference to an "aj" unless "aj" and "bj" have the same id and "bj" is a symbolic reference to "ai". For more complex situations, you may use the product SiteAccess (--> zope.org) to redirect requests transparently according to situation. You may look at URL:http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/Localizer.py This is used as a SiteAccess AccessRule for localization. Requests going to a folder controlled by this rule are served from this folder, if possible. If not possible, the request is redirected to a different folder. I think, this method can be abused to get what you want. Dieter
