Re: [Zope-dev] New product: Refresh
ooo. question: It adds a "Refresh" tab to every Product Folder and enables the refresh function only for products that are compatible with this function. how do you make a product compatible? Anthony

The first development version of the Refresh product is available. It lets you make changes to the Python code in your products without restarting Zope.
Standard disclaimer applies; do not use in production environments. But at least it has less chance of breaking Zope the way the first version of TransparentFolders did... ;-)

I agree... this product seems way cool. You might want to check out the README file... To use it, just add a text file called 'refresh.txt' to your product directory. You can leave the file blank or put some warning about usage of the refresh function. Then find your product in the control panel and choose the 'Refresh' tab. Maybe now I'll start developing Python Products instead of using ZClasses for everything :) Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anthony Baxter" <anthony@interlink.com.au> To: <shathaway@earthling.net> Cc: <zope-dev@zope.org> Sent: Monday, May 15, 2000 8:47 PM Subject: Re: [Zope-dev] New product: Refresh

I guess I didn't make that very clear at all. Almost all products can be made "compatible" just by creating a file called "refresh.txt" in the product directory. It's nothing more than a signal to the refresh mechanism that says it's safe to refresh this product. In fact, you can add or remove refresh.txt without restarting Zope. Its purpose is to allow authors of products that are still in development to warn users that refreshing may not work correctly. However, from what I could tell it works better than expected. TinyTablesPlus, for example, can be refreshed without any side effects. Most products will also refresh flawlessly. Shane
