I am afraid I must second this opinion. We recently looked at OrderedFolder, thinking to subclass it to produce our Slideshow product. The idea was to make a lightweight web-based replacement for PowerPoint where you can define the order of the slides and can hide/show them individually. We found that it was actually easier to create our own "OrderedFolder" base class and subclass it rather than use OF because of the extra functionality we did not want. Of course, the extra functionality is probably really useful for some people. My vote would be to include _some_ additional functionality like defined orderings in the Zope3 core, and keep OF as a third party extension product which people can use or not. The Zope3 version of OF would then be simpler, as it would only have the remaining functionality (like "reverse" acquisition, setting a max limit on number of items, etc.) To summarize, I would like to see regular Zope Folders enhanced to optionally have some notion of type ( a la Brian's Zope 2.6 proposal "Object Type Assocation And Death To index_html" ) and basic ordering I am willing to help out. I would love to see this functionality in 2.6 and carry it forward to 3.0... my 2c, --Craeg > _______________________________________________ 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 )
