Mike, When I started getting into adapters recently I discovered that you can't (easily) access adapters directly from ZPT. You will need to create a python view class as an intermediate step.
Where you use a "context" statement to access properties of an object in ZPT, e.g.: <div class="field" tal:content="context/description" /> you use a "view" statement to get at the methods of the Python View Class, e.g.: <div class="field" tal:content="view/rating" /> You use the ZCML to wire up the ZPT to the Python, e.g.: <page name="someview.html" for="dotted.path.to.IObject" class=".pythonfile.ViewClass" template="template.pt" permission="zope.Public" menu="zmi_views" title="View"/> Where python file is the file the viewclass is in, usually in the same browser folder, and ViewClass is the name of a class defined within that file. The ViewClass itself can do whatever logic you want to prepare data for the ZPT, but if it's just grabbing adapted methods and re-presenting them, it'll be something like this: from wherever import IAdapter class ViewClass: def __init__ (self, context, request): self.context = context self.request = request self.adaptation = IAdapter(context) def method(self): """Get the adapted doodle from the adapter""" adapted = self.adaptation.adaptermeth() return adapted Where "adaptermeth" is the method defined in your adapter, and "IAdapter" is the name of your adapter. You probably won't want to reference it as self.adaptation - call if something more meaningful - self.myimagefunction, or whatever. You will need to def a method for each adapted method you want to grab from adapters and pass to the ZPT. If you have more than one adapter you want to access from a given ZPT you need to make sure you import them all, and use a different "self.adapterdesc =" in the __init__, and you can then call each from the methods of the view class. Hope that helps, James --- Michael van Slingerland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I've made an adapter on the image content type and > built a new view on the > IImage interface.
