DocumentStore

Documents

I thought about it, and one option I could use for having multiple types of Documents was to create multiple objects. After realizing that most of the propertysheets would be identical, I figured I would create a Document object, and that it would have a property of DocType, which would describe the type of object, be it a HowTo, a Brief, or a Review, for example.

Document Object Creation Process

The Document object is a ZClass product, that inherits from DataSkins, Renderable, and Object Container. I chose the latter so that some documents could contain pictures, files, etc..

I then described three property sheets, in accordance with my general PropertySheets template for the site..

DocumentStore

The actual Documents are stored in a Folder w/Customizer Support named DocumentStore. Under data Plug-Ins, I added a Cataloging Trigger, to index the Document objects with the site catalog. As the site grows, I may consider multiple, catalogs; one per DocType
