[Zope-CMF] FS Directory View and "Advanced Production ?Site Setup"]]

[David Shaw]

I guess I need to update my contact info.  I worked at ZapMedia until 
September of last year, but they went out of business.  This email 
address works.

The site setup idea came from Ken Manheimer at Zope Corp (ZapMedia had 
3 full-time Digital Creations developers for 6+ months).  I have it 
loaded in my system which uses this layout, although I don't really use 
CMF.

I just tried it and got the same error.  You have already diagnosed the 
problem, but you could work around it by renaming OtherProducts to 
Products, and changing the zope.conf in your InstanceHome to reflect 
that.  In the longer term, it seems like submitting a patch to the CMF 
dogbowl folks might be worthwhile.
