The easiest way we've found is to make a Z(Base)Class called 'Findable' which impliments the adding, deleting, and findable attributes (which you can override in (Sub)Zclasses). How can it get any simpler than that? I suppose it could cook breakfast for you. ;) -Michel > > Anthony > > _______________________________________________ > Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev(a)zope.org > http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev > > (For non-developer, user-level issues, use the companion list, > zope(a)zope.org, http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ) >

The Product API is not easy to use!
by Josh Zeidner 02 Jul '99

02 Jul '99

I have been trying to make my own Zope product and I am sorry to say that I have found it to be a daunting task. Does anyone know where I can go to get better info? Is there anyone who has created a product who is not working for Digital Creations? Debugging facilities are non-existent and documentation is esoteric. Should I say goodbye to Zope forever? - Josh Zeidner Phylogenic Inc _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com

This has been fixed in CVS... there still seems to be a problem with copying/pasting ZClass instances, though.

"ZCatalog-aware ZClasses"
by Anthony Baxter 02 Jul '99

02 Jul '99

I saw this question asked, but didn't see an answer - what's a "ZCatalog-aware ZClass" involve? looking at the ZCatalog source, it looks like one way would be to make the code that adds the object instance search for a ZCatalog object, then call catalog.catalog_object(object, objecturl) - and the delete method should then call catalog.uncatalog_object(objecturl). Is it just a matter of making a single class that does just this, and make the ZClasses you build inherit from it? Or is there a simpler way? Anthony

Hi, Oops, forgot to read the rest of the list. Apparently it IS fixed in the CVS but for those (like me) who operate off the releases the patch may be of use Cheers, Anthony Pfrunder

Please, please, please *READ* README.txt before asking me questions please! Hope this helps, Anthony Pfrunder

New ZPublisher Types
by Cathi Davey 01 Jul '99

01 Jul '99

The documentation for the new types is in the process of being added to the zope site. I added four new types : "default", "ignore_empty", "record", and "records". The "record" type works like this: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="person.name:record" SIZE="30"> The input tag for the "name" field is named "person.name:record:ignore_empty". The ":record" part of the name indicates to Zope that the field should be converted to a record before passing it to the published method. A record variable will be created called "person" and it will have an attribute called "name". o The "records" type returns a list of records. o The "default" type allows a specified value to be inserted when the form field is left blank. o The "ignore_empty" type skips over the variable rather than returning a null string as its value when the field is left blank. I hope this helps. Cathi

[ANN: Zope source and binaries for Windows v3]
by Anthony Pfrunder 01 Jul '99

01 Jul '99

Hi all, I've posted a new release of the Zope source (and binary) patches. Located at http://student.uq.edu.au/~s341625/ temporarily until I move to a machine with a faster network connection. This file includes: * Binaries for Zope under windows * Makefiles for Visual C 5.0+ * Scripts to generate the above You need the Python 1.5.2 and Zope a2 sources to use the binaries. What's new? * Patches & fixes so it works with SquishDot * Streamlined install * Binary patches so the DC staff can get back to work instead of answering questions about windows binaries ;) * Modified README.txt slightly NOTE: This file is completely unsupported but does work;) I suggest people using old versions upgrade as old versions may have other, undiscovered bugs. Cheers all, Anthony Pfrunder

Why are there two ppml.py's?
by Martijn Pieters 01 Jul '99

01 Jul '99

Why are there two ppml.py's in the CVS? One in ZUtil, and one in Shared/DC/xml. The two differ somewhat, I think the latter is an older revision of the first.. Also, the last change to the ZUtil copy didn't have a log message, but it did have a substantial change (+565 -124 lines). -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-7502100 Fax: +31-35-7502111 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------
