The "database opened" event from zope.processlifetime is already used, zope.app.publication is needed for this function in zope.app.generations.utility:
def getRootFolder(context): return context.connection.root().get( zope.app.publication.zopepublication.ZopePublication.root_name, None)
I think this function is needed in every generation script.
Hm, this depends on a particular application (as defined by zope.app).
Is there another way to get the root folder?
Some apps probably don't use a root folder.
But most apps do so, I think. I moved the getRootFolder function to zope.app.generations from zope.app.zopeappgenerations some months ago as it was the only reason I needed the zope.app.zopeappgenerations package. What about a condition? Only when zope.app.publication is available, the function gets defined. So we could get rid of it as a dependency and do not need a separate package for this function.
Should the root_name be hard coded here instead of importing it?
I think this is an issue for the individual zope.generations plug ins. Does zope.generations itself use this?
No it does not use it itself. Yours sincerely, -- Michael Howitz · mh@gocept.com · software developer gocept gmbh & co. kg · forsterstraße 29 · 06112 halle (saale) · germany http://gocept.com · tel +49 345 1229889 8 · fax +49 345 1229889 1 Zope and Plone consulting and development
