RE: [Zope-dev] Product Icon
If I understand what you are trying to do correctly, then all you need is to have your product's icon property be a method that returns the path to the correct icon (Like you would normally have the icon property set to). I use this for a couple of products too. Something like: class MyClass( normal stuff ...): def icon(self): if self._i_am_broken_: return misc_/MyProduct/MyClassBrokenIcon else: return misc_/MyProduct/MyClassNotBrokenIcon You've got to love python :) Adrian... -- Adrian Hungate Try Zope - http://www.zope.org - You might like it.

A school may create a news document about a new professor which they would wish to display for 6 weeks. The administration offices may only wish to display the story for 1 week. The display dates for the news documents are properties of the documents. So I really need two different instances of the same property one for the school and one for the administration. However the administration probably has no permission other than View on the schools News Document so something like this would not work. We want to avoid maintaining two copies of the same story at all costs. The system I came up with was to let the administration create a reference to the schools news object where they could add their own properties or override the values of existing ones. If there is an editable record where an object could be cataloged and then the meta date for a cataloged object could be changed by the owner of the catalog it would provide the same functionality. I could just give each group a catalog and some methods of adding news to the catalog. They could then edit the meta_data in the catalog to change the display periods, priority, etc. And the display routine could use the meta_data in each groups catalog when displaying the object rather than the objects properties. Can this be done with Plugable Brains? If you have any other suggestions/hints/tips let me know. --Brian Why not use the Catalog for this? e.g. in the CMF, there's 'Topic' which does basically that.
