Buyer beware - this 'patch' was written by someone who doesn't (yet)
know what they are doing and has been stuck at home with the flu for
the last 5 days. It may be worth waiting to see if the Collector accepts
it :-)

http://my.zope.site/HelpSys should have a more useful object reference with this patch. I think that it might be displaying too *much* information now, but it is more useful to me this way than the way it was (since I'm trying to learn this product and without it the only way of learning how to do something trivial like retrieve an object's URL was to ask the mailing list or grep through the source code).

Patch to lib/python/HelpSys/ObjectRef.py - change the body of get_method_list in the ObjectItem class to the following:

def get_method_list(self):
    rdict=classobject.get_method_dict(self)
    rlist = []
    keys=rdict.keys()
    keys.sort()
    for key in keys:
        fn=rdict[key]
        if not hasattr(fn._obj_, '__doc__'):
            continue
        doc=fn._obj_.__doc__
        if hasattr(fn._obj_, '__class__') and \
            fn._obj_.__class__.__doc__ is doc:
            continue
        rlist.append(rdict[key])
    return rlist
