Hi Trevor, I was pointed in the direction of creating a dtml-method inside the ZClass, called 'title' and then using some dtml I can put whatever I like into it, even reference some of the properties of the ZClass itself hth, Laurie -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Trevor Toenjes Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2001 11:00 PM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] Add "type > myzClass" does not have a property for title?

I have had to add "title" manually to the "property sheets" to compensate for this. If I am not mistaken, This seems like a major ommission and Zope inconsistency with zClasses which are supposed to be Folder-like. If you derive from "Folder", your ZClass has a "title" property.

Customize your ZClass constructors (form and action) to call for a title and set it with "manage_changeProperty", respectively.

The Zope Book "Chapter 9" says to create a "title" index in a zCatalog, but the zClass doesn't have a "title" property...? Some have, but not in a PropertySheet...
