Hmm, maybe views are a better way to go. I was trying to stick with the standard zope/plone API (i.e. absolute_url) so that people didn't need special knowledge when writing/editing templates for this stuff. > I see that you refer to 'obj' here, while you pass in 'brain', so the > above code wouldn't work. Woops, my bad. I copy-pasted from slightly more complicated code to make the example here clearer. > But from that I infer that you are using > CatalogBrains, Yeah, I've got a version of my proxy class for catalog brains and one for normal content-ish objects.

Yeah, I thought that was possible, but as there is no useBrains method on ZCatalog, I figured it was not the done thing. So should I just call portal_catalog._catalog.useBrains(Proxy), or something along those lines?
