Not at all. There is nothing inherently fast or slow about a ZClass object versus one defined in purely in Python. > I see some of you extra options that your proposal includes as only > impossible with a product, but just want to clarify, to myself, what > should be done in Zope and what should be done in a product. (Its > getting harder to see the difference) I don't follow you here. Many things can be implemented as: 1. A collection of standard Zope objects 2. A Zope Product built with ZClasses 3. A Zope Product built with Python There are many trade offs. In general I would suggest trying the easiest thing first. As you run into technical limitations, redo parts or all of it a different way. Good luck. -Amos

Perhaps, though I don't see how to easily map SQL method results on to Zope objects in the same way the catalog provides a 'getobject' method... > I had a light go on: I can use Topics in combination with the > Calendar tag and > acquisition to build custom calendars! > > Given: > /root > /Topic_1 > /Topic_2 > /Topic_3 > /Calendar > > A URL like /root/Topic_1/Topic_2/Calendar/ should be valid > and show me events in > both Topics (or categories, whatever)! Sounds good. In fact I mostly thought of Topics being arranged in containment hierarchies, but you could acquire Topics to create combined Topics dynamically. Thanks for your ideas. -Amos -- Amos Latteier mailto:amos@digicool.com Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

manage_renameObject

I am trying to rename an object as a workaround for a zope bug. I am having trouble finding manage_renameObject in the source. Besides the object's new id, it wants another argument. Does anyone know what that is? -- Jason Spisak webmaster(a)hiretechs.com

>From CopySupport.py: def manage_renameObject(self, id, new_id, REQUEST=None): """Rename a particular sub-object""" So it looks like you call manage_renameObject on the container with "id" and "new_id" parameters, plus REQUEST, of course...

ZODB vs. SQL
by Christopher Heschong 09 Sep '99

I'm working on an implementation of a Yahoo-like directory app for a customer (with Zope), and have a few questions: 1) Any products that do this already? (I haven't found one) 2) Is it possible (or is it even a good idea) to have the entries created as Zope object as opposed to having them stored in a SQL table? I'm very new to Zope, so I'm unclear as to the capabilities of the Zope object database. What I want is for users to be able to add their own sites, and after they are approved by the administrator, they go live and online. Thanks in advance. Links to tutorials and/or documentation sections would be fine. BTW, Zope is great. I installed it yesterday, with no previous Zope or Python experience, and already have a decent site skeleton done. My deadline is Monday, but I'm fairly confident I can get up to speed by then because so far, Zope has been a breeze. -- Christopher Heschong # chris(a)wireco.net The Wire Company # http://www.wireco.net/

I am planning to create a registration product that will validate new users against an LDAP directory. i.e. The user fills out the registration form. Zope verifies that the user exists in the directory. If the lookup succeeds Zope creates a user login and lets the user know that his registration is suceeded. else Zope sends e-mail to the administrator and tells the user who that administrator is. If anyone has done this already, or is doing this, I will work with you. Otherwise, I will probably get around to this in about two weeks. -----Original Message----- From: Francisco Sam Castillo [mailto:fsam@proyecto-web.com.mx] I was wondering if it is possible to do two things: 1.- Create a register/login script for users on a zope site.

Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to do two things: 1.- Create a register/login script for users on a zope site. And 2.- How can I implement a tips section like the one on the zope beta site? Thanks in advanced... Sam

Excellent, this sounds like exactly what I need to fix. Can you send the patch along to me? "Phillip J.
