[Zope] how to access files outside the database

[Phil Harris]

First thing, please don't send HTML email to the list, some of can't handle
it, and it makes life difficult when reading mail.

Thanks.

Onto your question, create an external method to return the imagefile.

Subject: [Zope] how to access files outside the database


How can I access files that do not lie inside the Zope database. I need that
feature because I have to write an image database where the images are
stored in a common directory and only the filenames are stored in the RDBMS.
If I address an image wit the <IMG...> tag zope searches in its internal
object hierarchy.

Is there any possibility?

Thanks in advance
