Hello,
I recently posted a message on the Zope list asking a very important (to us) question about Z Classes, and haven't received a response, so I thought I would try zope-dev instead.
Since the only people with any real experience using ZClasses is us, and since we're getting ready for Linux Expo, sometimes you might need to a bit persistent. Mentioning money is allways a good stratagy.
I need to be able to create the following setup:
<snip> (Outlook, the penultimate example of software engineering excellence, has decided to stop quoting your message at this point) You: When I try to drop doc_a (DTML Method) in MyBaseClassInstance I get a "Bad Request" message, telling me the id doc_a is already in use. :( I don't want to have to make a new Z Class, and I don't want to mess with index_html or doc_b at all (though I may, in another instance, want to change index_html to reverse the order of doc_a and doc_b, or just redefine doc_b instead, etc. Each instance will be unique. Changing the base class should change all instances, except those which have overloaded the changed aspect. As I understand it, Z Classes already do this just fine.) Me: Yes, I think this should work too. Please report this to the Collector: http://www.zope.org/Collector You: If only I can get this to work, my company will be using Zope on two MAJOR deals we just got. I can't mention names, now, but I promise DC would benefit from the press involved once the projects are complete. Me: You neglected to mention any money. -Michel
