I don't know what you mean by lookup above but I'll going to presume you mean attach to a widget in a content type edit form, or perhaps a search form. In which case there is a standard way to look up taxonomies in the form of vocabularies. http://plone.org/products/dexterity/documentation/manual/developer-manual/advanced/vocabularies I'm not yet sure if there is a standard way of representing tree like structures using them but that should be easy to fix. > > Sean _______________________________________________ Product-Developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/plone-product-developers
