[Zope] File Extensions in FileSystemSite Product or FileSystemDirectoryView

[Elena Schulz]

Hi Dieter,

thanks a lot:

with adding registerFileExtension('zpt',Page Template) I could make
FileSystemSite to recognize .zpt as a Page Template too.
Shouldn't that be standart as 'zpt' is the standard Extension for ZPT's and
not 'pt' as implemented or am I wrong?

but how to add a property to an object in the filesystem? FileSystemSite
doesn't allow additional properties.

Another question: when I utilize the ExternalFile Product it seems to aquire
the properties of the caller but FileSystemSite seems not to do so that as I
get different results calling the same file with the same code and
'myExternalFileInstance' & 'myFileSystemSiteInstance' being in the same
folder:

zpt = getattr(context, 'myExternalFileInstance')
print myExternalFileInstance[myZPTFile[:-len(ext)]](context,REQUEST) # here
I get the properties of callers acquiration path

extSite = getattr(context, 'myFileSystemSiteInstance')
print myFileSystemSiteInstance[myZPTFile](context,REQUEST) # here not

Does anybody know what's going wrong?

Thanks,
