On a more minor note would it be possible to get rid of the old style dtml syntax (<!--#) in things like the standard_ objects and index_html. A quick grep should do the trick... Its valid but Im sure its confused the heck out of some first time dtml users looking for some dtml examples... :) It would make Zope look more consistent... Downloaded 2.3 beta so I could play with the UI. Some of my comments remain... - I think the copyright and refresh should be moved up - The movement of the blue menu to the left (when you say no top frame) is questionable - Im assuming there will be an API to style sheets, that drop down box etc... Besides that a big improvement, thanks guys! -- Andy McKay.
... and what's the chance of getting my minor (but incredibly nice) change to the management menus in? I'd rather not have to ship a modified version of Zope... Richard ps. for those who missed the first post, I'm advocating that the ordering of the management menu tree be done by the ObjectManagers and their ilk rather than an enforced alphabetic sort in the tree itself. More logical groups exist in some cases. -- Richard Jones richard@bizarsoftware.com.au Senior Software Developer, Bizar Software (www.bizarsoftware.com.au)

That sounds like a great idea :-) cheers, Chris

I've checked in the change to allow this. Basically, the tree tag dtml for the manage_menu view no longer passes a 'sort' argument, so whatever ordering is returned from tpValues() is preserved. The default tpValues implementation in ObjectManager has been updated to return subobjects sorted by id. So the effect of this is: - All ObjectManager-derived objects that do not specifically override tpValues will continue to be sorted by id like usual - tpValues implementations can now dictate what the best 'general case' (manage_main) sorting is for its subobjects - Custom tree views written by users that specify a 'sort' parameter will continue to do the right thing (the sort specified to the tree tag will be applied to the results of tpValues) Brian Lloyd brian@digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com
