The model (underlying the caching policy manager) is that templates (views) access content objects. In the code above "object" is (usually) the template, "object.aq_parent" is the object viewed by the template -- i.e. the content object in the model above. You are right that the model often does not fit: it does not, e.g. for "FSFile" and "FSImage" objects (now fixed in the core). But it also does not fit when the template is used in its own right and not as a view, e.g. a FSDTMLMethod generating a style sheet. The model mentioned above it too narrow. It should be extended by an additional variable "target" (or something similar) which is the object traversed to. This might give the policy handlers enough information to distinguish between the "template views content" and "template is content itself" cases. > ... >The test of a policy is make with parent of object not this object.

This, meanwhile (CMF 1.5 and up) should have been fixed. -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope-CMF maillist - Zope-CMF@lists.zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-cmf See http://collector.zope.org/CMF for bug reports and feature requests
