What Counters? Are you talking about the hits, views, or remaining_views ? Inguiring minds need to know. :)
All of them. It's a known, hmm, ``TODO item'' :-) for BannerFolder.
FWIW, I am in the middle of a 'rewrite' of that product. I am adding the ability to 'weight' banners, view reports, and track click-throughs.
This is very good. I was trying to figure out a way to implement weighting.
Other changes are that it is being written in Python instead of ZClasses.
This is _not_ good, please reconsider. ZClasses are the ``new'' and ``right'' way to extend Zope. Restarting the server each time you make a minor modification is bad. ZClasses are more maintanable too. What is important is to abstract out the counters; perhaps, let the BannerFolder decide how they are stored, or use acquisition (because BannerAd objects are often useful outside a BannerFolder - I use one for my ``hosted by GFDigital'' button). Something like calling ``get_counter (this(), _, counter_name)'' and set_counter likewise. So all you have to do is drop a SQLMethod or something in the acquisition path. If you keep it ZClass-based, I'd be glad to make you the official maintainer of the Product for the next few versions (in short, as long as you're interested).
