[Zope-CMF] Making CMFProduct visible in folder contents

[Carl Rendell]

I've run into similar problems, but the issue for me has involved 
the icon for the product.

When I reviewed the folder_contents page template or dtml method I 
found that the condition to be met for presentation is a return 
from getIcon, or in dtml _.getattr(obj, 'icon', '')

If the return is false, the item will not be displayed. Here are 
the code snippets -

DTML

         <dtml-if icon>
          <a href="&dtml.url_quote-getId;&dtml-methodID;"
           ><img src="&dtml-portal_url;/&dtml-icon;"
                 alt="&dtml-Type;" border="0"></a>
          </dtml-if>

ZPT

          <span tal:condition="icon">
          <a href=""
		    tal:attributes="href python: items.getId() + '/' + methodID">
	     <img src="" alt="" border="0"
		      tal:attributes="src python: here.portal_url() + '/' + icon;
			                  alt items/Type|nothing"></a>
		 </span>

Once I get a return from the getIcon call. The items show up.
