Yup. We implemented:
ob/adapter:name
...which to me says:
"take adapter, apply to it object with name as a parameter"
That's close to the meaning of Even Simpson's Zope 2 ':' extension. Which is why we don't want to use this syntax for adapters.
...what I'd like it to say would give meaning to:
my_content_object/zapi:title
...meaning apply the title adapter from the zapi package to my_content_object, which was where I left things last time I came close to understanding Zoppe 3.
Well, what we did in bristol, enabled: my_content_object/zope:title Which really gets a special adapter named "zope" which exposes zapi-like functionality for ZPT.
What's the equivalent to that in today's Zope 3 land?
What I described still works. But we want to pick a different syntax, like: my_content_object#zope/title
which is equivalent to:
ob/adapter:/name
and, in fact, you can say just:
ob/adapter:
I'm afraid neither of those means anything to me so your equivalency makes so sense :-S
right, which is why we want to pick a different syntax.
Steve pointed out some problems with the syntax, which the above examples should make obvious.
Hurm :-S Don't suppose you have a use for that off hand?
