I've given it a __call__ method, but not a __str__. Ive most problems
resolve around the objects name, absolute_url, __name__, so perhaps fiddling

Oh I think I see. I'll go and have another look. I can see a product coming
out of this called the DMTLFolder :)
Thanks! I have to say Squishdot is one of those products whose code I keep
looking at to figure out how they heck things can be done

Cheers.
