[ZDP] Fw: [Zope] Using Links within Zope

[Loren Stafford]

To elaborate on my own post:

I remember wasting some time before I figured out that I had to use
'absolute_url'. With just relative 'url' the URL kept getting longer. This
is certainly an issue. I'm not sure that 'absolute_url' is the only or best
solution.
