OK, I have some potentially complicated calculations to build on a Ticket Tracking system I've built here. I can do it in python mehtods, but am wondering if skinscript will get me what i want as well. If anyone has done dome stuff in skinscript they can share I would be ecstatic. I don't necessarily need a tutorial (but would be happy to review and rate one :), as I can learn fairly well from examples that have an explanation of what the skinscript accomplishes.

Hi Bill, I doubt that skinscript is going to help with 'potentially complicated calculations'. Skin Script works with ZPatterns (Specifically DataSkins) to provide control over how attributes of DataSkins are gotten, and stored. They are normally pretty simple "if THIS then THAT" kinds of things (basically a set of one line expressions that handle substitutions that occur under various circumstances... ). It would be a lot easier to answer your question if you could elaborate a bit on the 'get me what I want' part of your query. ;-) The best documentation I've seen yet is an email from pje about the current implementation: http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2000-July/006201.html Hope that helps... -steve

After looking, I don't think it wil either. I am building statistics of of a call Tracking System. For example, each ticket has a response time property, and one of the graphs needs average response time. Looks like PythonMehtods is the winner.... -- Bill Anderson (ARC) Unix/Linux System Administrator HPSO Engineering Productivity Team Friday, September 08, 2000 Random Quote: Is there life before coffee?

Well, I'd start by using a CatalogingTrigger that responds to events related to your Tickets, and records the ticket_id, ticket_date and response_time in a ResopnseTimes ZCatalog. Then, I'd use ZCatalog queries to get average response times for various periods of time. I can't see a use for SkinScript in there, though :-) ps. I am working on a skin script howto. Expect to see something after I return from a conference on Monday. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net
