[Zope] zclass inheritance and default index_html

[Vicki Irwin]

Hi,

I am a new user of Zope, and I am having the problem described 
below and I cannot find the answer in any of the documentation.
Can anyone help me? 

I have a Zclass that uses the File Class as a base class. My Zclass 
has its own index_html method that provides the default view for 
the Zclass instances. This is what I want, but I find that I now do 
not have a way to view the file contained in an instance (evidently 
the only way to do this is to default to the index_html method 
of the file base class, which can only be accomplished if I remove 
the index_html that I created for my Zclass). 

I'd really like to use my own index_html and do two things:

(1) have the contents of the file (in this case its a gif image)
displayed inline with the other html my index_html generates

(2) provide a hyperlink in my index_html that when clicked displays 
the contents of the file. (in this case the object contains large 
html/text files).

I greatly appreciate your help!
