There are 2 ways to use it. One as an object attribute (self.aq_base) or using the aq_base() function as imported from Acquisition. The latter method won't cause an attribute error if you already are working with the non-acquisition object (in that case it will simply return the object. For what you are doing I recommend one of these methods. To get more control over when manage_afterAdd runs some code, you can set some flags using the copy hooks. Before running manage_afterAdd when copying/moving/renaming ObjectManager calls the method _notifyOfCopyTo() on the object being copied/moved/renamed. It passes one argument (op) giving some context to the call. It is set to 1 for moves and renames, and set to 0 for copies. So you can use this to set a flag on your object to modify manage_afterAdd's behaviour in these circumstances. Eg. class Container(ObjectManager): def _notifyOfCopyTo(self,op): # use a _v_ volitile attribute here to avoid persistence self._v_copy_flag = op def manage_afterAdd(self, item, container): if hasattr(self,'_v_copy_flag'): if self._v_copy_flag == 0: # stuff you want done when copying ... if self._v_copy_flag == 1: # stuff you want done when moving/renaming ... # clear the flag delattr(self,'_v_copy_flag') else: # stuff you want done only on initial install ... # stuff you want done no matter what. .,. Of course you can simplify this if you don't care if its been moved, renamed or copied. Just wanted to show the different possibilities. -- John Eikenberry [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ "A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will deserve neither and lose both." --B.

Wouldn't this just result in "[path]/index.html/source.html"? Do you want
the index.html in the URL to source.html. This will work with Zope but
looks strange. Using URL1 instead of URL0 would leave the index[._]html
off the generated URL.

Opps. I meant a 'zope product', ie. a python based product.

URL0 always(?) includes the ending published object (eg. index_html).
Normally if you don't want this you just use URL1.

Using URL1 you should get [path]/source.html which would seem to me to be
what you want.

By actual page address you want the URL with index.html instead of
index_html? Given your current setup as described, redirecting would work.
Though this would cause every hit on a page's index to tranverse twice. If
the site isn't super high traffic it wouldn't be noticable.
If you were working with zope projects there are other tricks you could
pull, but it doesn't sound like you are doing this.

In zope there is the URL which represents the object traversal and there is
the returned content (html, images, etc). The returned content (maybe what
you mean by actual page) can feasibly come from some other part of the
site, a database, or just about anything else. The URL or address is just
what method/object gets run to get said content.

Not sure if I'm making this much clearer. But there it is anyways.
