If you are storing dataskins in a regular folder hierarchy (or other persistent hierarchy), you don't need racks. You just need a Folder w/Customization support in the objects' acquisition hierarchy. Of course, if you don't need DataSkin-ish behavior (i.e. triggers and attribute providers), you don't need the FwCS either. DataSkins stored outside of Racks will "pretend" to be ordinary persistent Zope objects if they can't find an appropriate Customizer. That is, they act like regular Zope objects, only it takes them more work because they're pretending. :) I created a FwCS and in it a customizer, but in my list of to customize object types are only meta_types listed, which have the Base class "_ZClass_for_DataSkin",. Is this a requirement, and if yes, is there a way to add this to existing ZClasses ? Mit freundlichen Grüßen Joachim Schmitz AixtraWare, Ing.

The only way to add it (or any other base class) to existing ZClasses is to use the "setbasesholdontoyourbutts" hack, which I have never done, but a search of the mailing list or Zope site might reveal the technique. ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
