Errors in ZDG intentional or is my copy just old and buggy?
Hello! After muchos problemas understanding how to use and apply the poll product example, I have found several other errors and omissions. Using Zope 2.4.1 I have done the example halfway, and have finally understood how to call the damned thing :-) using dtml. This makes me wonder: are there intentional errors in the ZDG examples or is it just so that I have an buggy version? If I have a buggy version how do I download the latest? I assume I have to do it from CVS but what module do I have to download (spoken like a true cvs newbie :-)? If I find stuff that I'd like to correct and/or elaborate and would like to be considered as corrections to the existing documents, where do I send it for approval? Any help is appreciated. /dario - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dario Lopez-Kästen Systems Developer Chalmers Univ. of Technology dario@ita.chalmers.se ICQ will yield no hits IT Systems & Services

thanks for the reply, I have used the tracker, and I also have found how to download the cvs version from sourceforge. May I assume that it is the most recent version? uhm... maybe I should point that with "intentional" I meant that they perhaps were there to encourage the reader to investigate further (like "the rest of the problem solving is left as an excersice(sp?) to the astute reader" :-). So, I was not trying to be sarcastic or anything like that. I'm working on undestanding and updating the exUserFolder product to use the components interface and add a few more goodies that we need, and the ZDG has been **very** helpfull, so far; developing zope products with interfaces is actually easier than I thought. However I think the ZDG needs to be a bit more polished to be accessible to the "newbie" developer, than it is in its current form. I'll try and find the time to mark and maybe even propose changes to the ZDG as I go forward with my findings. Cheers, /dario

You bet!

No, we're not masochists. ;-)
