[ZPT] PageTemplateFile s and product attributes

[Troy Farrell]

Say, that post was rather short on information.
When I say "the same method that everyone else does," I mean this:

<h1 tal:replace="structure here/manage_page_header">Header</h1>

When I say "access my products 'icon' attribute," I mean this:

<img tal:attributes="src string:/${here/icon}"
      alt="product icon" />

This works in ZODB, and not on the filesystem.

Thanks.
Troy
