Maybe context['db']['sql_do_something']. I don't remember. the only way i managed to call it is ... if the files are in the same dir. im currently using them this way ... but it's gonna get a mess soon, all those scripts and sql and ZPT in the same dir. I actually want all of them bundled. I do a folder per project, and generally want most of the non-pervasive stuff necessary for a single application in a single folder, the logic being that I know where to start looking when a problem or extension request happens. Most folders are 50 to 100 objects, and it just hasn't been an issue to me. The worst is nearing 600 objects, which is teetering on the edge. 2. I'm not writing products, just simple ZPT and script ... and i want version control for them, i have svn installed but ... the files are all inside zope database (i don't even know how the database file is named). Is there a svn plugin or a way to add those files to repository? I think that adding the entire zope database is a bit awkward ... hard to diff etc. Yes, look at FileSystemSite (http://www.infrae.com/download/FileSystemSite for source). Or you can install CMF. I seriously wish that FileSystemSite would be moved into Zope core. There are older methods of syncing the ZODB to cvs. Generally, these are to be avoided, they work fine when they work, but when they fail they are difficult to resync. jim penny 3. Almost the same as the svn problem ... i want to backup my files from time to time .. db and code, i know how to backup my mysql db, but i don't know how to get the zope files.

Maybe context['db']['sql_do_something']. I don't remember.
Close but no cigar. Dictionary-style item access does NOT use
acquisition:
foo['bar']['baz'] works iff bar is in foo and baz is in bar.
Object-style attribute access DOES use acquisition:
foo.bar.baz works if bar is in (or can be acquired by) foo, and baz
is in (or can be acquired by) bar.
Finally, restrictedTraverse() is your friend:
foo.restrictedTraverse('bar/baz') works like foo.bar.baz
