[Zope] BannerFolder banner and aquisition?

[Bill Anderson]

OK, having been a while since I last worked on a non-horrible-kludge
banner product, I decided to give BannerFolder a shot. Works quite well.
However, it is only fo rbanners where the image is stored locally. Many
banners these days are not done this way, rather you get a full href,
including an <img src=....> tag.

So what I thought I would start with was to add a property called local,
and modify Banner's render method to return _jusr_ the hit_URL for
non-local banners. Works fine except when it comes time to render the
image.  Th eimage is always broken.

After some digging, I determined that Zope is inserting the
bannerfolder's id into the image tag's image tag such that:
<img src="<http://link-toimage-on-other-site">
becomes:
<img src="hbanner/http://link-toimage-on-other-site">

Now, what I was doing in my banner kludge was to have the same basic
setup, and I used a with tag for the banner folder. So, my question is
"how do I get Zope to _not_ put the 'hbanner/' into the img src tag?"

That aside, anyone know of any good way of implementing a weighting
mechanism to work with BannerFolder? 
So far, I have an idea about creating a list of banners to choose from,
banners would have a weight of 1, with the weight being the number of
times they appear in the list. Thoughts?

(this aspect of the question may be more sutied to the zope-commerce
list)
