Shane, you don't have to provide special path() to your objects. The PathIndex works a bit different from the other indexes because it does not look for an attribute or method with a name equal to the name of your PathIndex. So how do PathIndexes work ? - ZCatalog calls PathIndex.index_object() for all objects to be cataloged. - index_object() determines the physical path the object and indexes this result inside the PathIndex data structure. We have not seen necessity to provide support for a user-defined hook. If you have some use cases let me know. Hope this helps ;-) Andreas _______________________________________________ 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 )
