[Zope-CMF] PortalFolders - 2 questions

[Joseph Wayne Norton]

Tres -

I'm currently doing the following in python.  I have created a file
"ItemImageFolder.py" and have registered it in my Product's
__init__.py file. It works pretty well.

Thanks for your feedback.

regards,

- joe


from Products.CMFCore import PortalFolder

factory_type_information = [{}]
factory_type_information[0].update(PortalFolder.factory_type_information[0])
factory_type_information[0].update( { 'description'           : '''\
Folders used for storing item images.'''
                                 , 'id'                    : 'ItemImageFolder'
                                 , 'filter_content_types'  : 1
                                 , 'allowed_content_types' : ('Image',)
                                 }
                                )
factory_type_information = tuple(factory_type_information)
