Publishing

To publish an object means to make it available in the Zope traversal graph and URLS.

A published object may have a reverse-mapping of object to path via getPhysicalPath() and absolute_url() but this is not always the requirement.

You can publish objects by providing a browser:page view which implements the zope.publisher.interfaces.IPublishTraverse interface.

Example publishers

• A widget to make specified files downloadable: plone.formwidgets.namedfile.widget.
