Hi Dieter

Thanks for the explanation! I've tried the solution Geir B=E6kholt sent me
(inheriting from the Renderable-ZClass product) which worked like a charm :=
-)

I'd already started on a custom folderish ZClass to hack around the problem=
,
but now I only need a small adjustment to my original Product (i.e. there h=
as to
be a render method, which only calls "<dtml-var index_html>".

Thanks for your help!
