I guess that means creating a kind of product. The CMF comes with such a product: Filesystem Directory View. You can use is outside the CMF (but it is most useful together with a CMF SkinsTool (or my SkinnedFolder)). Someone repackaged it also alone (in case you do not want to install CMFCore). -- Dieter ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

If it is not too much to ask, can anyone point to or provide an example of a working application that is organised like this so I could look at the code? It would help a lot.

[Zope] Packaging a zope application
