I remember this was discussed on the zope-dev list some time ago but I don't think anyone offered a solution.

It would take less space on disk, and I suppose rendering will be faster. When packing the database (Control_Panel > Database Management) you can keep previous object revisions for a specified number of days. If you specify 0 all previous revisions will be discarded (and the Undo list will be cleared). HTH. Alexandre

Documentation issues ... cloning folders into instances
by Joachim Werner 01 Apr '00

01 Apr '00

<frustration> I'm finding myself again trying to figure out how things work in Zope, just to find out at the end that it is MUCH simpler that I thought -- but totally undocumented! Or maybe I just haven't looked for it enough ... Isn't there somewhere a list of all method calls I can use from DTML (like manage_addXYZ)? It can't all be just trial and error or "read the code". -- Yes it can, but I don't want to be that pessimistic ;-) O.k., my current problem is that I have a folder with icons and images in a ZClass that should be copied to all new instances of the class. There seems to be a "manage_clone" call for that (just read about it in a posting), but how does it work and where do I find any documentation on it? As all those methods are in the namespace, isn't there at least a trick to get a list of all names to print out? That would be a first start. I mean, I had to figure out every single call like manage_addDTMLDocument or manage_changeProperties by trial and error. That makes Zope so much less efficient that it could be ... </frustration> Joachim Werner.

Zope ISP giving access to Products folder?
by Darran Edmundson 01 Apr '00

On behalf of an ISP who has now installed Zope (on my behalf) ... Does giving ClientX 'Manager' access to Control_Panel/Products/ClientX_Product open up any security holes? The alternative is to have ClientX develop on his local machine, save out ClientX_Product.zexp, and ship it over for us to install. Comments? Cheers, Darran.
